Re: Talk LIMS #7: Challenge Two ~ Voting! Least: 21- Cute idea but the icon is way too blurry. 1- Would have been better if you cropped it a different way and the notes being there is a little odd. 15- like the coloring but its too blurry. Best: 6- Love everything about it. The coloring is great and so is the text. 9- I really like the black and white effect, especially with the red font. Nice job.
Re: Talk LIMS #7: Challenge Two ~ Voting! Least: 16 - too blurry 22 - blurry, not strong contrast so background is dominating 18 - too oversharpened Best: 4 - text is great and even with this strong blurry effect it looks really cool 5 - simple effects and it looks perfect
Re: Talk LIMS #7: Challenge Two ~ Voting! Least: 02 - The coloring is off 01 - The crop is too severe 16 - The face is a bit dark Best: 17 - I love the crop and the coloring. I love the way you kept it without text, it's so much more dramatic this way. 07 - The crop and background fits. I'll prefer it without text though, but there's just my opinion.
Re: Talk LIMS #7: Challenge Two ~ Voting! Least 16 - Kind of blurry and not much done to it 14 - Text oddly placed and a bit scrunched 21 - Bands overwhelm the pic Best 2 - Nice coloring and blending 9 - The colored text works really well with the B&W
Re: Talk LIMS #7: Challenge Two ~ Voting! This is going to be a tough one! Least 01 - Unfortunate cropping and so the notes just don't fit very well. Perhaps also try to play a bit more with contrast and light? 21 - First of all: awesome idea! :lol: But the picture of Archie is a bit too small and looks kinda squished and blurred, what takes away the focus of the main subject (Archie). 18 - again a great idea with the border, but now Archie looks over sharpened or over contrasted Best 04 - Love all about this: the composition of crop and text and the dusty look - I'm a huge fan of such icons 06 - You achieved what I couldn't with this picture! Great coloring, perfect contrast and the little light effect - great work!

Re: Talk LIMS #7: Challenge Two ~ Voting!

Good job. 13: Laughed out loud with the text Also, good text placement.
Re: Talk LIMS #7: Challenge Two ~ Voting! Least: 21 - white is a bit much, looks blurry overall, 01 - over-cropped and blurry 22 - over sharpened Best: 04 - blurry effect is nice, text color and angle of text looks great 09 - love the black & white, red behind the text fits great with the pic
Re: Talk LIMS #7: Challenge Two ~ Voting! Least 02 -It doesn't look like much has been done to this icon aside from cropping and text. The cropping is nice and I have no huge issue with the text, but I'm not sure they're quite enough on their own. While it does look a bit lighter, sometimes coloring can really clean up a simple crop. 01 - I REALLY wanna commend you for being creative with your cropping! Keep it up, it's great to see people trying more risque things! That said, like #02, this doesn't seem to have had much else done to it, short of the music brushes. I think this one would pop more if it had some coloring tweaks beyond just lightening it. 21 - The copy is GREAT. Very funny, but the image hasn't been scaled properly and the coloring seems just like the cap. Best 18 - Nice coloring, I really like rich saturation and the bordering brush works great to even this image out for the placement of some nicely selected copy. 12 - The soft ethereal coloring here really works with the distance at which you've cropped the image and the negative space that crop provides.
