    Re: Talk LIMS #8: Challenge 10

    I really, really don't want to lose anyone this close to the end, but sadly there are still two people that I haven't heard from even after sending them pm's, so I have no choice but to disqualify them :(

    Because it's so close to the end of the challenge, this is going to affect how things are done. The next round should have been the semi-finals, followed by the finals. In order to keep it this way, we're going to eliminate only one participant this round, and again next round in the semi-finals.

    --------
    Round 10 Voting!

    (please note: vote for only one least and one best this round)

    Voting Rules:
    ~ Absolutely anyone may vote! You don't have to be an 'expert' ;)
    ~ Vote for the Top 1 of least quality, and the Top 1 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)

    We have 2 people using skips this round.

    Wow this is a tough one! All icons are good, but now it's about small things...

    Least
    02 - The positioning/size of the text and choice of font could have been better/more creative. Maybe giving the text itself a flame-like look or, as not everybody knows how to do that, placing the flames in the background more in the center...

    Best
    01 - Just great! Cool idea. You can see where the quote is from, who said it, etc - all that in such a small icon. Great.

    least
    01 : the text is way too default not a bit creative, it looks like the text was placed right on a blank canvas which makes the icon bland and boring.

    besst
    02 : the text on this one is the only one that looks rastorized out of the group (not default), i think the effect of the text works really well

    01: The text is really blurry and the texture doesn't really do the icon justice.

    03 - the text fits perfect with the shoe and I love really much the idea of the black & white icon, together with the colour blue, great cropping and colouring

    Least:

    01: The icon looks a little plain... you should have either used another texture or added the text some colour/used another font... to make it look more lively

    Best:

    03: That shoe idea was so original... Nice coloring as well :)

    Challenge 11
    Since Melina Kanakaredes is leaving CSI, I was going to use her this round, until I realized that we've already done icons of Stella. Instead, since Sela Ward has been confirmed, we'll be using photos of her :)

    Actor: Sela Ward
    Restriction: Background. Your icon should not have the pictures original background. I don't care if you remove it or cover it up, and I don't care how you do it. As long as the background has been changed. I hope that makes sense, I'm not sure how else to explain it. If you have any questions, please ask :)

    [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG]


    Rules:
    ~ This is an anonymous challenge, so don't go posting your icon anywhere until this round is over.
    ~ Your icon must not exceed 100x100px. It should be in .jpg, .png or .gif format.
    ~ You must use only the images provided
    ~ No animations will be permitted.
    ~ Submit your icon by sending me (Dragonfly) a PM with the subject line LIMS Round 11 or similar.
    ~ If you are unable to send PM's, you may use the hotmail address in my profile. Just include TalkCSI in the subject so it doesn't go in the junk folder ;)
    ~ You may submit only ONE icon
    ~ Free passes will not be allowed this round - we're too close to the end
    ~ The deadline for submissions will be Wednesday, August 4th. No extensions will be given.

    If anyone has a problem with the deadline, please let me know so that we can work something out. I don't want to lose anyone else at this point!
