SOTW#7 - The Poll

[-ChillOut-]

Wow #1 perfectly fulfilled my prophecy on the submissions thread of what people would submit. That doesn't say much for its imaginativeness does it?
#2 is a square...not a great shape for a signature...It's too centred....and the effects look tacky..
#3 is an alright idea but far too much gimmicky outer glow...And the photos could have had their colours tweaked slightly to fit in better so they dont look as crudely slapped on...
#4 is the best one. It's the only one thats nicely designed and laid out...The only problem was that it was executed badly....Blurry crowded silhouette, cheap fake looking bevel&emboss, noise around the image of avril...
#5 one of the photos is warped to the wrong proportions....and the photos and text are badly cropped with jagged edges...And again, the photos colours dont match the silvery gold background, too vivid and colourful, looks plonked on and out of place...
#6 Um this is better than most. The composition looks a little odd, I would've made the main title bigger than just a small little circley stamp floating awkwardly in big empty space....chunky outer glow again sigh..WHEN WILL THE WORLD LEARN SUBTLETY IN OUTER GLOW
#7 Completely centred composition almost never looks good...And this has like extra emphaised centredness because of the circles...And outer glow.
#8 It's a nice blue for a concert photo but I think its too much to change all the colours of one photo to the same hue (other than black ofc), you shouldve left some of thr original colour show through. Also the text font isnt very nice and in an unmatching colourr.


In summary people need to stop feeling the need to go on a crazed spree in the PhotoShop blending options window for every bit of text or shape just because they can, unless they're doing it with some subtlety and carefully watching what actually looks nicest, not this gimmick-loving attitude of The More Effects the Better. Also, notice my repeated use of ...dot dot dot...to convey a calm and non-aggressive tone. Voting for #4.

i just think this is rly unnecesary..if u think they all did so badly why u didnt submit a signature by urself and show how much better u are?
not everyone are professionals and they did their best and i thnk is nice that everyone tried and did it just for fun

I don't even know why I'm bothering to reply to such a moronic and childish post but here we go.
1. It is a commonly accepted truth that one does need to be skilled in an area to criticise it. Do you think most film critics could direct? Do you think Simon cowell can sing?
2. Although neither here nor there, I am better than these people.
3. Again, completly irrelevant, but I didnt enter this week because my computer is broken but I have before.
4. You seem to be operating on the simplistic kindergarten moral code of all negative comments=MEANIEPANTS BEING MEAN AND NASTY. Constructive criticism is very appropriate in a competition and helps people impprove.

oh you're really nice!

I first voted for 4 and 3 but change my mind and voted for all!

[marliz.]

voting for all is a really pointless thing to do.

The comments made by Frezz are not in any way rude or malicious; she's entitled to her opinion and the right to express it. Looking at the entries again while reading her comments, she made some really valid points.

Frezz should be the one of the judges, I am not kidding.
