strawboy Posted December 3, 2011 Report Posted December 3, 2011 (edited) My vote goes for.... [1]Mint Creativity - 4 Technical - 3 Execution - 5 Aesthetic - 5 Total - 17 I think its very eye catching. It caught my attention so much. This is the best signature for a Banner. He did not use any render which is impressive. And the simplicity is perfect :> PS: Old Navy LOL! Edited December 4, 2011 by strawboy
Andromeda Posted December 3, 2011 Author Report Posted December 3, 2011 (edited) Don't forget to include the points! Edited December 3, 2011 by Andromeda
Boogieman Posted December 3, 2011 Report Posted December 3, 2011 (edited) First, I'm gonna have to say that I don't think this was the best theme for using a render. [5] - It's a well done sig, seems a little oversaturated to me but I don't think it's banner material. **4,4,3,3 = 14 [4] - Nic Cage is f'n scary looking but I love the Adventure Time aspect. Personally I think that without him in the background this would've been a serious contender. **4,3,3,3 = 13 [3] - A good sig but this one looks over sharpened/pixelated, and again, I don't think it's banner material. **5,4,3,3 = 15 [2] - I think yours is the one exception to my issues with a render in this theme. It's not a ''loud'' image that overpowers your whole sig. It's soft colors border on the dull side but complement the color scheme of the banner portion of your sig perfectly. **4,4,5,4 = 17 [1] - To me, this was the only one that screamed " I'm a banner ". It's very simplistic in an elegant way, loaded with style while remaining not overly done. It's not too busy with other objects distracting from the theme. Plus, the vibrant color scheme makes it asthetically pleasing. ** 4,4,5,5 = 18 [0] - Andromeda's banner is by far the best.( ..what's that? ..somethin on my nose?! lolo) ** 5,5,5,5 = 1337 Edited December 3, 2011 by Boogieman
Kittie Posted December 4, 2011 Report Posted December 4, 2011 I'm gonna vote for Appie! Creativity : 4 I like how it's really themed around creativity with the render holding a giant pencil, but at the same time, it doesn't follow the rectangular shape most banners have. Technical : 4 So it wasn't the most challenging piece, but the fading and subtle light work with the text and render was something most people wouldn't even notice. It's the attention to detail that takes the cake. I'm actually glad it's more simple, since it really is a banner, instead of an expression of a quote or saying. Execution : 5 It's pretty much flawless. The color is great, the fade was great - everything. I mean...it looks very professional! Aesthetics : 5 Such a pleasing color combination. I think the banner is the most utilitarian of the bunch - it appeals to the most people, and goes well with the theme. If it'll be used for future SOTW contests, I think most people would agree with that.
mindsweeper Posted December 4, 2011 Report Posted December 4, 2011 my vote goes to: [4]Old Navy Creativity - 5/5 Technical - 4/5 Execution - 5/5 Aesthetic - 4/5 Total Points - 18/20 why? cause it made my day! made me laugh when I saw it! other entries are too serious and SOTW needs to lighten up for a little and have some fun! two thumbs up!
Elaice Posted December 5, 2011 Report Posted December 5, 2011 I'm voting for the second one, Appie's entry. [2]Appie Creativity - 4 Technical - 4 Execution - 4 Aesthetic - 5 Total - 17 I believe her entry is the least complex out of the bunch. Also, it would be make a great SOTW banner because her entry goes with every theme that I could think of. It's well excecuted (text, render, patterns), basically it's sImplicity at it's best. :)
Boogieman Posted December 5, 2011 Report Posted December 5, 2011 on a side note ; I think 1&2 might make a nice dual banner, with a small adjustment in size. They kind of flow nicely in a contrasting way if you look at them side by side. Of course, that's only if all winning parties/host agreed.
Xtopher Posted December 7, 2011 Report Posted December 7, 2011 I've been on this server trolling its forum for years and I've never done this.... Well here goes.... I'm voting for [2]Appie *Creativity - 3. Nothing too huge, but good enough. *Technical - 4. It seems to me the work put in was challenging enough. *Execution- 4. Everything seems to blend nicely. *Aesthetic- 5. Definitely my favorite aesthetically. Simple, easy on the eyes, but also very well done. You don't need to be complex or full of clutter to be great. This picture was by far my favorite. Everyone did a great job but this one looks the most professional. I could see this kind of work being used on legit websites. I hope this was done correctly. I'm not really an artist or art critic... More of a math kind of guy... Whats more, I'm color blind.
Appie Posted December 7, 2011 Report Posted December 7, 2011 My vote goes to [5] Muffin Master Creativity- 4 Technical - 3 Execution- 4 Aesthetic- 4 Total: 15 I love the use of the render for this signature. It totally says to me "BAM! Check out this Sig of the Week!" with the way the character is kinda pointing it's gun's in the direction of the text. I quite enjoy the vivid colors, though it might not be for everyone. It's definitely intense color, but I think it fits the image nicely.
coffee break Posted December 8, 2011 Report Posted December 8, 2011 I vote Appie [2] Creativity ~ 4 Technical ~ 3 Execution ~ 3 Aesthetic ~ 4 total: 14 Clean and simple banner. I like the font of the word: signature... most of the signature in pen are cursive XD. The colors are pretty cool that make it more cute XD
