    Re: Talk LIMS #7: Challenge 10 - Now Up!

    I'm sorry to say I don't have an entry this week. My workload is just ridiculous right now and I had to start prioritizing. :( I still swear one of these days I'll be able to do a whole LIMS here at talk without life getting in the way of things. *sigh* maybe next time.

    Good luck to the rest of you though! :) Hopefully I'll be back to vote.

    Sorry I'm late!

    LIMS 7 Challenge 10: Voting!

    Unfortunately, we've had 2 people have to drop out this round, due to real life (that pesky thing!). That brings us down to 6 participants, which actually makes this our semi-final round :eek:
    Daquien and roximonoxide, thanks so much for joining us, hope to see you again next time!

    Voting Rules: (Please read, there's a slight change)
    ~ Absolutely anyone may vote! You don't have to be an 'expert' ;)
    ~ Vote for the Top 2 of least quality, and the Top 2 of best quality.
    ~ Votes for least quality Must have a reason, or they will not be counted. Reasons for best quality are strongly encouraged

    (the following examples may have been "borrowed" from other sources)

    Good Examples:
    34: Text is oddly placed
    50: Icon is over sharpened
    62: Image is too blurry

    Poor Examples:
    96: I don't like the colour (personal preference)
    52: Tiny text/decorative brushes are unreadable (it's supposed to be that way)

    01[​IMG] 02[​IMG] 03[​IMG]

    Good luck!

    First of all I'm really sorry for those who had to leave b/c of RL :(

    Second, I can't believe that it is almost over & OMG I can't believe that we have to vote in this round too. I really don't know what to vote :p

    Least
    06 - great texture, but the face has too much of magenta on it and it ruins the rest of the icon. Probably an eareser would have been perfect.
    05 - it looks that not too much has been done on this icon except adding the text and those cute brushes.

    Best
    01 - fabulous colouring and great text :thumbsup:
    03 - great colouring, texture and yeah great way to put the text on the icon ;)

    Sorry to see you guys go, Daquien and Roxi! Real life sucks sometimes :(

    Least:
    4. Looks over saturated. His face is too rosy and doesn't stand out. It also looks blurry.
    1. It just doesn't look like a lot was done with this icon. I also don't think the font really fits.

    Best:
    2. Interesting crop, strong contrast, simple but effective border and textures.
    3. Very clean and crisp. I really like the overall layout here. It's a very cool effect with him working on top of the text. My one complaint is that the text is rather difficult to read.

    02 - The crop is too focused on his face IMO and which makes the border and texture(s) kinda distracting
    05 - The icon looks pretty washed out. Seems as if not much coloring has been done. Maybe it's supposed to be that way, but still...The text looks grainy to me

    Best
    03 - The icon is crisp and clear and it's a very cool text effect
    01 - Great coloring and a nice crop

    Re: Talk LIMS #7: Challenge 10 - Voting!

    Least:
    01 - Doesn't look like much has been done to icon except text has been added.
    04 - He looks somewhat oversaturated.

    Best:
    03 - I love what's been done, the colouring works really well, and Chad really stands out of the background.
    02 - I love the crop, overall the background texture works well.

    First of all: sorry you had to withdraw from the challenge, Daquien and roxi! :(

    And now - voting? Seriously? Meh!

    6 - very creative icon and a lovely idea with the texture, but as it's already been stated: you should've used the eraser tool in the area of Chad's face (he's looking a bit magenta-ish ;)) and also perhaps soften the texture itself. It's a bit too bright in some areas what takes away the focus from the main subject (Chad).
    4 - hmmm, I love the crop and the text, but his face is sadly just too orange-colored.

    best
    1 - Good crop and coloring = great work :)
    5 - It's clear and sharp and I also like the simplicity. (Perhaps a bit more contrast next time ;))

    I stared at those icons for 1 day and I was really thinking not to vote in this ones 'cause it's incredible DIFFICULT :wtf:
    Anyways...

    Least:
    06 - The texture is 'overkilling' Chad, you should erase the texture in his face, and it also has too much magenta.
    05 - don't see any big difference from the original pic, only a little bit bright.

    Best:
    3 - Great cropping and where you put the text make the icon great!!
    1 - Awesome coloring and crop!!!
