LIMS #4 - The Ultimate Test of Creativity - Final Results Up

Re: LIMS #4 - The Ultimate Test of Creativity

I just want to say thanks for letting me host these last few rounds. It has been fun! Congrats to the final 4 - your icons have all been outstanding.

It is time to vote for the final round and overall winner!

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

Challenge #6 - The Final Showdown! - VOTING

- Vote for the TOP 3 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.)


And finally - the icons

Good luck!
 
Re: LIMS #4 - The Ultimate Test of Creativity

:( This was a really hard choice. I've been staring at my computer screen trying to find something I can say about them. They're all really great, but it's got to be done, so...

03: The image seems to be poorly cut out around Grissom's face.
02: Image could have been sharpened a bit more.
01: Gorgeous icon. But the colours are a bit muted.
 
Re: LIMS #4 - The Ultimate Test of Creativity

Wow this is crazy, and hard to choose! Oo

#1 - I like the concept, but Stella looks possesed with the coloring
#2 - Bit out of focus around Eric's face. It doesn't draw my eyes around the icon.
#3 - The side of Grissom's face shows signs of background left formt he cutting process, quite distracting frm the rest of the icon.
 
Re: LIMS #4 - The Ultimate Test of Creativity

04-- The icon appears quite blurry.
01-- The texture is a bit distracting and the icon appears too purple.
03-- I love the idea, but it appears to have a bit too much contrast and is too orange around Grissom's face.
 
Re: LIMS #4 - The Ultimate Test of Creativity

04 - her face is plain
01 - the texture does not fit the icon, although i think it's very creative and would work amazingly on other icons
02 - a tiny, tiny bit too dark
 
Re: LIMS #4 - The Ultimate Test of Creativity

Hello! I am hoping we can get a bigger voting turnout for this final round! Everyone can vote! This will determine the overall winner of LIMS. Thanks!
 
Re: LIMS #4 - The Ultimate Test of Creativity

Amazing work all of you :D This is so hard...

03. The cropping around Grissom's face has a little problem, you can still see parts of the original background, and therefore Grissom doesn't seem natural in contrast with the background.

04. Although I love the background idea, I think the position of Stella's head isn't the best

01. Even though the icon is awesome, I'd say Stella's face and especially her neck look a bit too redish.
 
Re: LIMS #4 - The Ultimate Test of Creativity

Ok guys! Please vote! 5 votes is just not enough for this final round! What can I bribe you all with???
 
Re: LIMS #4 - The Ultimate Test of Creativity

okay i'll try it although it's really hard to find something...

03 - the cropping isn't the best, the original background can be seen on the side of grissom's face

04 - the position of stella's face is a bit unfortunate...to show a bit more of her neck might have been better.

01 - i love the icon, but i see the same problem here - positioning. the side of stella's face is cut off. it seems as if it melted with the edge of the icon.
 
Re: LIMS #4 - The Ultimate Test of Creativity

Wow, I feel mean :( but you can have my vote :p

3- There's part of the background around Grissom's face still there.
4- Stella's head seems to be a little far down.
2- I dunno why, the icon doesn't seem birght enough.
 
Re: LIMS #4 - The Ultimate Test of Creativity

I'll come in and vote, though I dread this in the final rounds, all the icons are too good! :p

2 - The icon looks blurry to me
3 - The way Grissom was cut out looks too boxy, and is distracting. Though, I think the piece of background everyone is talking about is part of his glasses, no?
1 - The icon overall looks too muted, there's nothing that really draws attention.
 
Re: LIMS #4 - The Ultimate Test of Creativity

*sighs* OK, I'll vote too. But I had to search for reasons, all 4 icons look great, but the last round is always the hardest...

03 - don't know: perhaps it's the cropping, perhaps it's a bit too oversharpened around the face, either way it's a bit distracting. Perhaps soften it a bit might have helped?
04 - gosh, I like this one, but somehow the cropping isn't really the best, or better the position of the face. It's a bit too much face (lame reason, I know :p )
02 - Eric needs a bit more contrast (a tiny little bit ;) )
 
Re: LIMS #4 - The Ultimate Test of Creativity

Thanks for those who voted since my last beg - I mean post! :lol:

I am going to leave voting open for this until Sunday night. PLEASE vote if you have not yet. Anyone can vote in this! Thanks so much!
 
Re: LIMS #4 - The Ultimate Test of Creativity

This is so tough and unpleasant... :(

2-A tiny bit blurry and I don't think the text fits it much.
4-Colouring is great but maybe the cropping of Stella's face wasn't the best.
3-I like this icon but as many people said, the erasing around Grissom's face isn't complete.
 
Re: LIMS #4 - The Ultimate Test of Creativity

Hey, folks, sorry I disappeared way back in round three :rolleyes: Life got a little crazy on me and i totally forgot about the LIMS! I might be out but, but now with some time off I'm around to vote! That said, here's my picks:

01. This particular cropping and use of decos makes the image seem tight and unbalanced to me.
04. Stella seems a little grainy and the the text-brush draws me away from her. I think that's because the background is only really saturated in the top right corner.
02. This is a pretty nice shot of Eric and I think the use of text-brushes and decos just clutters an otherwise nice clean image. I think thats the kind of shot that lends itself to coloring and texture effects rather than decorative bits.
