    Re: Talk LIMS #8: Challenge 7 - Voting!

    Hey folks, I've noticed in the last few rounds that some of the votes have been getting close to personal preference. I'm not pointing any fingers, but in general just try to watch that. I know it gets harder and harder every round, but it's not impossible.

    Now, having said that, I still need a lot more votes for this round! Just a reminder that everyone who's participating should be voting please!

    Least:
    07 - Somewhat dark and appears to be oversharpened.
    08 - The texture seems to washout the appearance of the icon as a whole.
    13 - Nice crop, but the texture somewhat draws attention away from the subject of the icon.

    Best:
    11 - Gorgeous icon, the frame works well.
    05 - Simple yet effective, the texture works well.

    Gosh, that was difficult, all the icons are amazing!

    Gosh this is difficult!

    Least
    07 - Too dark and oversharpened
    01 - The frame is too close to her eyes which looks kinda weird. It's distracting. It would have worked better if it weren't such a close close-up...if that makes any sense...
    09 - Looks like not much has been done to the picture itself, regarding sharpening, hue/saturation, etc. The frame doesn't really work either.

    Best
    06 - Nicely done! The text is a nice connection between the background and the frame.
    13 - Interesting crop, you tried something different and I like that!

    Re: Talk LIMS #8: Challenge 7 - Voting!

    Least
    08 - The texture brings the icon out of balance and doesn't add anything to the icon
    01 - Her face is to light and the frame is covering to much of her face
    04 - The text is difficult to read. I would've made the text stand out more with a darker shadow or stroke.

    Least-
    7- looks a little oversharpened, also there seems to be a bit too much contrast especially over her face.
    1- but its cuts off of alexx's face at a weird spot, and is a little distracting
    4- the text is hard to read, and blends into the background in certain spots.

    Best-
    13- i love the crop, its unique and works really well, and i love the softness especially over her face.
    5- i love how you made her blend a bit into the background and your use of textures, and the font works really well.

    this was really hard to choose :/

    Least
    # 7: A bit too dark
    # 1: The border takes all the attention away from Alexx
    # 6: The background is overpowering

    Best
    # 13: Great cropping
    # 5: I love the balance between the picture, the background and the text

    This was hard, because I think all icons are amazing. I can't do that!
