    Re: Talk LIMS #8: Challenge 4

    Tough choice... loved all the icons! good job everyone...

    Least

    02: There's something wrong with this icon... don't really know what it is... somehow the focus on Riley is lost... maybe you should have made her bigger or lighter... to emphasize her more...

    15: Though I like the coloring... that frame (or texture) is a little distracting

    04: Too saturated

    Best

    11: Original crop, nice coloring

    09: Nice coloring too

    Least:
    (Oh gosh, this gets more difficult each round!)
    15 - The border effect distracts attention from Riley.
    16 - The background kinda washes Riley out, and is somewhat distracting.
    05 - The effect makes Riley look somewhat grainy.

    Best:
    13 - Gorgeous icon, the colouring looks great and the text works well.
    08 - Fantastic icon, it all works really well.

    Well done everyone. :D

    Re: Talk LIMS #8: Challenge 4 - Voting!

    Least:

    15- Riley and the text are a bit blurry and the texture/brush is a bit distracting.
    02- I love the text, but Riley kind of gets lost in the background.
    04- a little too much contrast/saturation.


    Best:

    09- Nice coloring and I love how you made her eye color standout.
    11- love the crop and how the face is smoothed out and the coloring is great too.


    Great job, everyone.

    Least:
    4 - Riley's skin looks orange.
    2 - She is blending in too much with the background.
    15 - The bush doesn't work with the icon and there is no different to tell Riley from the background.

    Oh boy, they were all pretty good :thumbsup:
    Least
    15 - The whole concept of the icon is pretty nice, but that decoration is distracting and coveers the best part of the icon. Also the decoration doesn't suit the rest of the icon.
    04 - Riley's skin kinds of looks sick because it's too yellow and it gets also too blurry.
    05- I don't know whether it's my new laptop (I know it makes everything paler) or not, but probably that's because of the effect on the left....well it makes the rest of the icon too grainy.

    Best
    11- Absolutely love the way you colored Riley's face and improved her smile's coloring! Grat crop as well. Terrific job :thumbsup:
    09 - Love the coloring of the whole icon and, above all, love how you made her blue **envy alarm on** eyes both stand out and match with the coloring of the background! Amazing!:thumbsup:

    ETA: D'oh! :lol: I meant 12 in 'Best'. Thanks, Meg!

    Least Quality:
    15- poor text placement, font choice and general text styling, though the brush/texture is kind of interesting and quite creative.
    4- too yellow and overly contrasted, though the text is more tasteful and restrained.
    1- the cut-out is too visible

    Best:
    12- subtle but strong coloring; decent text placement
    11- love the crop and coloring, though the text is iffy.

    HappyHarper, you've voted for the same icon in both least and best. Can I get you to fix/change that please? Thanks ;)

    Keep those votes coming! This is a good start, but not enough yet :D

    09 - i like the coloring of this one :)

    Least:

    10: Looks like there wasn't a ton done with the icon, it could also use some blurring and could be a bit more creative with the text.
    15: Odd texture, and the text is a bit wobbly.
    14: The text is small and blurry.

    10- The image is very grainy and blurry.

    Best
    06- The coloring and font are amazing on this. I love the effect.
    12- The coloring is great, and the text works very well :D

    Re: Talk LIMS #8: Challenge 4 - Voting!

    Least:
    04 - too much contrast
    05 - the texture does not fit the icon, and because it's not earased from the face it makes Riley look grainy
    15 - the texture is distracting and the icon seems to lack contrast
