    Unfortunately no but submitting time is over :( So voting will be up Monday everyone!
    ---

    I shall post the pretties before bed :p

    Challenge #2- Marg Helgenberger- VOTING

    ~ Unfortunately wibble and lifestyle have not sent an entry and shall be automatically eliminated :( Thanks for participating, guys!

    ~ Adzix is using their free pass for this round.

    - Vote for 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 makers of the icons with the top 2 number of votes will be eliminated.

    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.)

    Please note when voting that all of these icons were made without the use of color layer(s), adjustive or otherwise (and I think we all know how important those are :lol: :p).

    Voila! :D

    Important!- PM me immediately if you don't see your icon.

    Wow, this is very tough because they are all fantastic! :)

    16. Looks a little blurred
    04. The colour and the texture is a little overpowering
    09. Slightly unfavourable cropping and some empty space which could have been better utilised if the image had been differently cropped

    4 Texture is overwhelming
    1 The crop takes away a lot
    5 A little too dark, maybe...Or it could be the contrast.

    Re: LIMS Round 3: The Ultimate Test of Creativity

    Wow this is hard :eek: Everyone did such a great job!

    01: The cropping on this one seems to be a little off on this one. It seems like it should have been moved (in any direction, I think) just a little bit.
    16: Image seems slightly blurred, and the subject seems too far away
    09: Too much empty space, that could have been put to better use.

    Re: LIMS Round 3: The Ultimate Test of Creativity

    holy crap, mine sucks compared to all of yours! :eek: :lol: And Quoth....you said mine was good.... :p :lol:


    8 - the little white *star* in the corner is distracting.

    9 - too much empty space on the icon, could be put to better use. (I know it sounds like DFD's comment, but its what I was thinking)

    5 - The icon is too sharp, which is distracting

    Re: LIMS Round 3: The Ultimate Test of Creativity

    Oh, this is hard! They all look great...
    But I have to decide, haven't I.
    So

    4: the texture/color is overpowering
    5: too much contrast/too dark
    9: the cropping leaves too much space on the left side

    04: The brush seems to oversharpen the icon, lessening it's quality.
    01: The cropping is odd, the subject doesn't seem to be the main focus of the icon.
    08: The subject seems too blurry and distant.

    However, great job to everyone! :D

    Re: LIMS Round 3: The Ultimate Test of Creativity

    Gah! Brilliant icons - a really difficult choice!

    01 - the odd cropping detracts from the overal icon

    17 - appears a little blurry

    16 - the texture 'washes out' Marg's features a little. Enhancing the features using selective colouring or contrast before applying the texture can avoid this

    Re: LIMS Round 3: The Ultimate Test of Creativity

    It's hard, so hard...but well, we have to:

    #16: odd cropping and a bit blurry
    #01: again odd cropping, the text seems to be the main part this way
    #04: too many different colors/uses of textures - draws off the attention from Marg


    eta: sorry Ann, somehow I read over your request, but now I saw the missing icon, but though I will stick with my voting
