    Re: LIMS Round 3: The Ultimate Test of Creativity

    Aww, thanks Adz :) I had a great time! :D

    First off I just want to say congrats to Adzix, fo_poozle and Macayla for making it this far :) You all did great! Just a note that you all three will get a banner in addition to the person who receives the last YWQ banner ;) According to the votes the last three icon-makers will come in first, second, and third place.

    Here we go-- the last round of voting!!

    Challenge #9- What A Pair! - VOTING

    - Vote for the TOP 2 of least quality. Include a valid reason for each vote, otherwise it won't be counted.
    - ANY member of this board may vote.
    - The maker of the icon with the least number of votes will be proclaimed the Last Icon-Maker Standing

    Examples of good reasons:
    50: The text is oddly placed
    68: The colouring is overpowering
    72: The icon is oversharpened
    56: The icon is too blurry

    Examples of bad reasons:
    50: I hate the colour pink. (Personal Preference)
    78: The tiny text/decorative brush is unreadable. (Because they’re supposed to be that way.)

    Here are the pretties :)

    01.[​IMG] 02.[​IMG] 03.[​IMG]

    Good luck guys :)

    Important!- PM me immediately if you don't see your icon (kind of hard now to screw up now though :lol:)

    Re: LIMS Round 3: The Ultimate Test of Creativity

    Oh gosh, this is completely impossible. Let me stare at them for a few hours longer.

    01. Okay, I love this icon. I really do- the coloring is amazing, the sharpening, saturation, perfect...but the one problem I have with it is the white behind 'smile'. Maybe this would be a bad reason, IDK, but it's just...white. :lol: Kind of like smpty space...it's still awesome though and I can't believe Ann is forcing us to put these pretty icons down.
    02. This was also hard. I LOVE the way you mirrored the yext, and had the picture mirrored twice beneath the clear one, the orange-ish parts where you can see the picture- this is beautiful. The coloring is as well, phenominal. But in some places (like in between the microphone and Marg's neck) it's a little teensy bit overshaprned. Kind of like it should have been smoothed out.

    Now, I must point out the positives to #03 because I did so with the others. The coloring is amazing. The icon is so clear and crisp and colorful and I just love it. The caption is great, and the text is nicely placed. Wonderful job.

    Congratulations to fo_poozle, Adzix and Macayla for making it to this final round. You should all be so proud for your amazing work, because this was not easy. Also congrats to everyone who participated, you guys were really hard to vote out because you also did a wonderful job. And, last but not least, a HUGE thank you to Ann for taking her own time to run this LIMS and make it such a blast, even for someone (such as myself) not participating. Thank you Ann, you're awesome! *huggles* :)

    Good luck everyone!

    Oh believe me Lilly, it's not easy for me to put those up for elimination :lol: They're all amazing, and if I had to be one of the voters I wouldn't be able to do it. Kudos to everyone who has to vote as well, because I know this is close to impossible :lol: ;)

    I can't. Really, I can't vote.
    It's impossible.
    Maybe I'll vote later, after I'll stare for twenty hours.
    Maybe. :lol:

    Re: LIMS Round 3: The Ultimate Test of Creativity

    Oh, this is hard! After considering for a Looooong time, I've finally decided:

    3: Oversharpened in some places
    2: Jorja's face is blurry, unclear.

    But they're both still great! Good Job!
