Re: Talk LIMS #8: Challenge 9
Round 9 Voting
Small change in voting rules: I'm going to take pity on you all, and say that you only have to vote for 2 least quality icons this time
Voting Rules:
~ 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)
We have one person using a skip for this round
*Please keep in mind the Pop Art theme for this round when you are voting*
(that being said 'it's not pop art' is also not an acceptable vote)

Re: Talk LIMS #8: Challenge 9
I agree with saying "It's not Pop Art" should not be acceptable ... because I feel we all have our on views on what is considered Pop Art and what isn't
Least:
08 The main crop on this one is way too distracting it takes away most of Catherine's face and the things going on in the background don't really fit.
05 Kind of Blurry.
Best:

Re: Talk LIMS #8: Challenge 9 - Voting!
Least:
01: A little hard to tell it's Catherine on that icon, maybe those border lines should have been thinner... I don't know...
08: Loved the coloring, but too much things on the background and the unusual crop distracts the attention from the subject
Best:

(All the icons were great, considering how hard it is to achieve that pop art effect)

Great job everyone in trying and achieving the pop art effect
Least
02 - there is something odd with the coloring and Cath's face seems to blend with the wall behind her.
05 - the concept of the icon is really nice, but it would have been better not to color Cath's face
Best

In all honesty, I don't agree with the statement: " 'it's not pop art' is also not an acceptable vote". Since it's a pop art theme (being that the difficulty was to achieve a pop art effect), I honestly don't understand why we shouldn't express such a statement. I mean pop art was an art movement with its own techniques: though they were quite different from country to country, I think some things cannot be considered pop art even if you percieve them like that. Oh well that was just my honest opinion on the matter

05 - there is way too much purple going on. Catherine doesn't stand out enough.
04 - the background is very distracting. Overall the icon is too dark.
Best
03 - Just perfect!
02
And I agree with Florry. As the theme was Pop Art why not "criticise" that one or more icons aren't Pop Art? We all know that everyone gave his/her best and all icons are good, but icon-making is about always learning new techniques. Personally, I've never tried the Pop Art style and it was interesting to experiment with it.

Least
02 - The image is too bright/ not contrasty enough
01 - Mad props for drawing Cath, but I think the text placement is odd. It looks like it's falling onto her head.
Best
03 - I love the colors, comic-book-esque look to this, and the "freeze!" speech bubble.
05 - I like the use of the halftone background, even though it is very purple.
P.S. Hi, I'm new here! Glad to find many talented artists here.

Best:
02 - Perfect!
08 - Really nice effect, works well.
