- Akauri's Judging:
Theme (rate from 1-10): 5, for someone that doesn't know the theme, it will be very hard to guess it I think
Lighting, flow, depth (rate from 1-10): 10, can't say much about it, have to give it a 10 because I just can't add anything to it...
Typography (rate from 1-10): 8, could've used a 1px shadow mayby, and the 'p' is very hard to read, other than that, great placement and color choice.
Creativity (rate from 1-10): 8, can't add much here either, could've used a more 'painting' theme though.
Overall feel\look\effectiveness\composition (rate from 1-10): 8
Other: /
- Inhaps' Judging:
PRISM
Theme: 10, very true to the theme, even including a canvas texture reminiscent of some kind of cloth used for painting.
Lighting, flow, depth: 9, the paint splatters do an excellent job showing the dynamic movement, but this smooth flow is somewhat hindered by the gradient on the text.
Typography: 8, the font is perfect, but this text would have been much better off if it were to blend into the paint, which means that the gradient only makes it worse.
Creativity: 10, the attention to the little details is applaudable. The very faint yet noticeable background texture adds a lot to image, and the paint splatters give a distinct sense of movement.
Overall feel\look\effectiveness\composition: 9, everything looks nice and neat but the text sticks out a little too much.
- Kelly's Judging:
Theme (rate from 1-10): 8; Shows the theme throughout the tag.
Lighting, flow, depth (rate from 1-10): 10; Honestly is damn near perfect with the lighting. The lighting on the lower right-hand side near his side is very well done. There is definite motion going on and whereas the flow is a bit chaotic, it's understandable because it's going in the same places as the motion of the render.
Typography (rate from 1-10): 6; I like the font, the color, etc., but it really needs something slight to make it stand out. Maybe a 1px line around it, maybe the same white color that's coming off of his foot and near the words "paint" ?
Creativity (rate from 1-10): 8; It's very outside the box. You turned a normal combat move into something amazing.
Overall feel\look\effectiveness\composition (rate from 1-10): 9; Very lovely affects, placement of them, lighting, and plus... You used orange ;D My favorite color! (that didn't earn any points, just a random thought that came to mind)
Second place: Stealthy2u
Proof\Images Used (click the x's to view): [X], [X], [X]
- Akauri's Judging:
Theme (rate from 1-10): 8, pretty cool and it follows the theme rules
Lighting, flow, depth (rate from 1-10): 7, Lightning seems okay, but your background's left and right side seem to be a bit dead.
Typography (rate from 1-10): 8, placement if your text is very nice, however 'sotw#29' is very hard to read imo
Creativity (rate from 1-10): 9, I like how you edited the edited the paint too make it look like a C4D
Overall feel\look\effectiveness\composition (rate from 1-10): 8, I don't like how empty the sides are, but the rest is very good to be honest
Other: /
- Inhaps' Judging:
Theme: 10, fits the theme perfectly.
Lighting, flow, depth: 10, excellent; everything, including the background, complements the flow, and the lighting is just right.
Typography: 8, it’s of a contrasting enough colour and it’s good how it follows the flow of the image, but some parts of it are rather hard to read.
Creativity: 10, the subtle lines in the background add a lot to the image; the very strong sharpening of the render makes its highlights stand out just the right amount. Also, good idea making the border less thick at the top, thus making the top part appear brighter than it would with an equally thick border.
Overall feel\look\effectiveness\composition: 9, it is nearly perfect; what would have been excessive negative space is negated by the vibrant background, and unlike most other entries, here the jagged edges give it a special charm.
- Kelly's Judging:
Theme (rate from 1-10): 8; Very neat. Includes both painting and paint and still fits the theme.
Lighting, flow, depth (rate from 1-10): 6; Your lighting seems okay and good flow, but there really isn't a lot of depth. I suppose, though, that's understandable considering what the tag is. Perhaps add a bit of blurring to the right shoe and back of the Kirby's hat? Sort of to just show motion and depth?
Typography (rate from 1-10): 6; I like it and how it goes well against the paint, but the rating would have been an 8 if "SOTW #29" was easier to read.
Creativity (rate from 1-10): 9; I really like how you stepped outside of the norm for this one and took a normal render and made it into something nicely presented. I also like how you made the paint look as if it were C4D affects.
Overall feel\look\effectiveness\composition (rate from 1-10): 6; This would have been rated higher if the sides weren't empty. They have color, but nothing to really look at minus the color. I love everything else that I've mentioned above and this would be higher than a 6 if it weren't for the empty sides.
Third place: Vodkabee
Proof\Images Used (click the x's to view): [X], [X]
- Akauri's Judging:
Theme (rate from 1-10): 8 fits the theme obviously
Lighting, flow, depth (rate from 1-10): 9 can't say much about it, the C4D could've been nicer if it was more visible, but it's alright like it is now.
Typography (rate from 1-10): 8, I think the border around the text could be better, mayby the border in Overlay or Soft Light would've been better? Not sure though
Creativity (rate from 1-10): 8, I really like the whole concept
Overall feel\look\effectiveness\composition (rate from 1-10): 8, very good signature like always!
Other: /
- Inhaps' Judging:
Vodkabee
Theme: 10, fits the theme very well.
Lighting, flow, depth: 7, while it all does flow to the centre of the image, the right side disrupts that.
Typography: 9, beautiful but Vodkabee becomes difficult to read past the middle.
Creativity: 8, a painting of a person painting a painting is interesting. The transition from one colour to another in the background is quite nicely done.
Overall feel\look\effectiveness\composition: 8, the background looks nice and the text goes well with the image; nothing bad to comment on other than the weird white lines on the person and extreme whiteness in the top-right corner, which attracts too much attention, compared to the subtle colours on the left side. All in all, it kind of looks unfinished.
- Kelly's Judging:
Theme (rate from 1-10): 8 Fits the theme obbbbbviously!? xD
Lighting, flow, depth (rate from 1-10): 7; Good lighting with the C4D you used.
Typography (rate from 1-10): 6; I really like the outline on the text. However, I think you should have lowered the opacity a bit, perhaps to... 60-70%? Just to make it less visible, as text wise, the boarder is the first thing I see.
Creativity (rate from 1-10): 8; Very creative. I like how you literally took a painting and went with it
Overall feel\look\effectiveness\composition (rate from 1-10): 7; I like this tag a lot. The only thing I dislike is the swiggly lines on the right-hand side of the render. It looks out of place because it isn't connected to the swiggly lines coming out of the painting, up the mans hand and toward the collar of his shirt--it sort of just stops there and then randomly reappears at the right side of his head

- Akauri's Judging:
Theme (rate from 1-10): 7, can't say much about this, it's one of the most famous paintings and everyone knows it, could've been more original though.
Lighting, flow, depth (rate from 1-10): 3, I know it's really hard to get used to shading pixel signatures, but as there's basicly no lightning/shading.
Typography (rate from 1-10): 4, text fits your pixel signature but it's very hard to read.
Creativity (rate from 1-10): 7 for making a pixel signature, not many people would try this!
Overall feel\look\effectiveness\composition (rate from 1-10): 6, lots of work to do, but I understand 7 days is not enough to make a decent pixel signature. Keep working on them though, you're getting better!
- Inhaps' Judging:
Theme: 8, a pixelified version of a famous painting .
Lighting, flow, depth: 4, weak representation of lighting and depth, but it does largely point towards focus, which is the person and SOTW tag.
Typography: 4, barely discernible letters but the placement is somewhat decent.
Creativity: 7, a most unusual endeavour of taking on a painting in pixel art form.
Overall feel\look\effectiveness\composition: 4, very rough and chaotic; has plenty of room for improvement, mainly on the water and the personage.
Other: Note that the water disappears between the spaces of the railing.
- Kelly's Judging:
Theme (rate from 1-10): 7; A pixel version of a very famous painting.
Lighting, flow, depth (rate from 1-10): 3; Understandable on how difficult it can be to show these things in pixel form, but still does lack them
Typography (rate from 1-10): 2; I like the placement of your text, but it's incredibly difficult to read.
Creativity (rate from 1-10): 7; Very rare that someone would do such a task as this. You have not only represented painting, but you've done so in a very unique way.
Overall feel\look\effectiveness\composition (rate from 1-10): 5; I would probably have rated this a 3, but I've taken into account the fact that it's a pixel image and I feel that deserves an extra two rating. It's not easy to do a pixel graphic and even harder so on a time limit and to have specific rules set in place, such as the size, the theme, etc. There is a lot of things that need to be done to improve the artwork, but it looks like a great start

- Akauri's Judging:
Theme (rate from 1-10): 9, fits the theme, not much to say abou it
Lighting, flow, depth (rate from 1-10): 8, lightning is good because you worked a bit with the edges of your background
Typography (rate from 1-10): 9, not bad, I really like it, fits your whole signature, I might have used another font, but this one is fine though
Creativity (rate from 1-10): Seeing as you followed a tutorial, I can't give you 10 for creativity, should've added an own touch to it mayby. 7
Overall feel\look\effectiveness\composition (rate from 1-10): 9, great signature, I really like it being simplistic and not too busy. Some things could be better

Theme: 8, even if rather unorthodox, painting could be interpreted as splashing paint onto one’s face.
Lighting, flow, depth: 7, good flow although somewhat interrupted around where the splatters start on the face; lighting is a tad too exaggerated, which makes the area around the nose and eyes look awkward.
Typography: 9, the text placement is perfect, and the excellent colour choice and shadow effect together make the text very appealing but the specks of dirt on the P and N puts it just short of a perfect score.
Creativity: 6, given how heavily inspired it was, a higher score cannot be given
Overall feel\look\effectiveness\composition: 6, the transition from the faceful of paint to splatters is disappointingly ungraceful, particularly at the very middle of their cheek where the splatter looks completely 2D. Additionally, the background is seriously lacking on the left side; where the background and face collide, it appears not to have enough contrast.
- Kelly's Judging:
Theme (rate from 1-10): 5; It fits the theme for sure and quite an odd way.
Lighting, flow, depth (rate from 1-10): 4; The lighting in the background is okay, but the entire tag itself is very empty. The depth is rather lacking because of the paint looking off on the renders' face (for example, the left side looks like a cutout rather than paint being splattered on someones face) and the splatters on the right side going near the text are going in multiple directions, which doesn't occur when you toss a bucket of paint--not that way, at least. The flow is messed up because of the chaotic brush splatters on the right side.
Typography (rate from 1-10): 8; I really like your typography in this. I think that's my favorite part of the entire tag, truthfully; it's really well laid out, the effects on it look great and it's nicely presented.
Creativity (rate from 1-10): 4; The focus of the tag was based off a tutorial, making the creativity ultimately the tutorial, not really yours, so a higher rating can't really be given from me
Overall feel\look\effectiveness\composition (rate from 1-10): 6; The paint on the renders face needs a little bit of work; it looks out of place and part of it looks like a cutout more than paint--it doesn't look realistic. The overall tag is very simple, but the tag is blank type simple.
Relax.

- Akauri's Judging:
Theme (rate from 1-10): 6, it fits the theme painting very well
Lighting, flow, depth (rate from 1-10): 3, the signature is waay to bright
Typography (rate from 1-10): 4, the text effect itself is nice, it just doesn't match your signature's style and theme
Creativity (rate from 1-10): 7 Pretty nice effect but it's a bit too strong, but I see what you're trying to do
Overall feel\look\effectiveness\composition (rate from 1-10): 5, could use a lot of work, your render is very simplistic while you're text has a lot of effects, try to keep those a bit together in style.
Other: /
- Inhaps' Judging:
Theme: 6, the image has a somewhat painty look
Lighting, flow, depth: 1, in terms of depth, lighting and flow, it all points to the lower left corner for no good reason at all.
Typography: 2, very bad choice of font and effects, which makes the text extremely hard to read; the faint glow seems to be the culprit here. Also, the W should be moved more to the left so it would not look like stray letter.
Creativity: 2, while giving photography a painted appearance isn’t very creative by itself, it can look good, but here the effect is applied far too excessively.
Overall feel\look\effectiveness\composition: 2, given the very high exposure of the original image, the choice best would be to apply the painty filters at different strengths on different parts of the image; everything has lost a lot of detail, whereas the hair on the left looks quite nice.
- Kelly's Judging:
Theme (rate from 1-10): 5; the image is paint-ish looking. It fits the theme.
Lighting, flow, depth (rate from 1-10): 2; the image is way too bright. I'd recommend putting a black and gray-ish gradient map over top of the layers and set it to 10-15%, maybe less or more; just guessing by eye. It has a bit of depth, but it isn't fantastic because of the intense light it rapes my eyes before I can really look any further at it.
Typography (rate from 1-10): 3; It isn't super easy to read the capital letters and doesn't fit the theme. It's also very plain.
Creativity (rate from 1-10): 4; Pretty basic. It doesn't really look like you added a whole lot of detail, just messed about with a few filter affects on Photoshop and then messed a bit with the lighting, but slightly so with that.
Overall feel\look\effectiveness\composition (rate from 1-10): 4; It needs a lot of work in my humble opinion, but it has good potential.

- Akauri's Judging:
Theme (rate from 1-10): 3, it's a bit hard to tell that it's in the theme of painting
Lighting, flow, depth (rate from 1-10): 6 You're render doesn't really blend into the background, lighting looks ok though.
Typography (rate from 1-10): 8, pretty creative, simple but effective, I like it!
Creativity (rate from 1-10): 4, I think you could've done more with the background and the render, however it's a start
Overall feel\look\effectiveness\composition (rate from 1-10): 5
Other: /
- Inhaps' Judging:
Theme: 3, not having seen the source material, it would have been impossible to tell how does it fit the theme at all.
Lighting, flow, depth: 2, it does not look like any attempt has been made to point the viewer at anything specific, other than giving the text a dynamic look that somewhat fits the person’s motion.
Typography: 7, it is very well incorporated into the image.
Creativity: 3, could be argued that this is very abstract and deserves a better score but it looks like a random combination of randomness.
Overall feel\look\effectiveness\composition: 2, none of the elements really go well together.
- Kelly's Judging:
Theme (rate from 1-10): 4; Can't really tell it's painting honestly ;s Well..You can, you just have to look at it quite awhile before you understand it.
Lighting, flow, depth (rate from 1-10): 2; No lighting that you added, it's all from the images you used. There's no real flow, as you have motion going in one direction, but the paint blobs going in another, and there's very minor amounts of depth only because of the motion of the render.
Typography (rate from 1-10): 8; Fits very well with the render and I commend you for that.
Creativity (rate from 1-10): 5; It honestly feels like you put paint splatters (stock image) in the background, a render over top, and made some slight changes for motion. The reason you really got a five and not a three is the creativity for your typography.
Overall feel\look\effectiveness\composition (rate from 1-10): 3; needs a lot of work, but is overall a good beginning

Theme (rate from 1-10): 7, it looks like a painting, and yeh, it is a painting, so it fits the theme. You used some nice effects
Lighting, flow, depth (rate from 1-10): 8, it could use a bit more depth but your lightning and flow is good
Typography (rate from 1-10): 6, the gradient effect doesn't feel comfortable with the signature for me
Creativity (rate from 1-10): 7 I like how you're tring to make it look like a real painting
Overall feel\look\effectiveness\composition (rate from 1-10): 7, here and there it could be better but overall it's a good one!
Other: /
- Inhaps' Judging:
Theme: 8, the flowers and the background look somewhat like a painting.
Lighting, flow, depth:7, the lighting brings focus to the flowers.
Typography: 4, whatever effect was used, it makes the text look very unfitting for the image.
Creativity: 6, very minimalistic but quite effective; however, the border would’ve been better off without all those effects applied.
Overall feel\look\effectiveness\composition: 6, the background and the flowers work very well, while the text and border ruin that nice look.
- Kelly's Judging:
Theme (rate from 1-10): 8; Very nice addition of painting throughout the tag.
Lighting, flow, depth (rate from 1-10): 6; I can see lighting and it looks pretty good, the flow is a bit confused in my opinion, and there is a slight lack of depth, but for what you made, depth isn't really easy to create.
Typography (rate from 1-10): 3; The effects you used made the text look severely out of place.
Creativity (rate from 1-10): 7; A very creative way to come across this SOTW. I'm impressed.
Overall feel\look\effectiveness\composition (rate from 1-10): 5; A few minor things need to be fixed, like the text, but for the most part looks good.

Theme (rate from 1-10): 8 The graffiti guy fits the painting theme pretty good, also creative - more on that later though
Lighting, flow, depth (rate from 1-10): 5 Your render seems to have lightning but your background doesn't have any, make sure your lighting sources are correct. The render could use some more blending into the signature aswell.
Typography (rate from 1-10): 8 Text is simple but fits it, the line is a nice addition to it
Creativity (rate from 1-10): 8, nice to think of the graffiti artists
Overall feel\look\effectiveness\composition (rate from 1-10): 7, you lost quite a few points on the blending/flow/lightning, the rest is pretty good!
- Inhaps' Judging:
Hmm Ninja
Theme: 9, the little texture on the background makes it appear kind of like a drawing with a pencil.
Lighting, flow, depth: 8, the black smudges do a good job at subtly bringing attention to the character and, to a lesser extent, the text.
Typography: 7, while it does look good on its own, it doesn’t quite feel like a part of the image.
Creativity: 8, the character feels like it is part of the image and the subtle smudges work very well.
Overall feel\look\effectiveness\composition: 9, overall, a great job at combining all the elements in a way that none of them look unnecessary; the green spot on the left solves the problem of too much negative space, same with the black spots on the right.
- Kelly's Judging:
Theme (rate from 1-10): 9; A good representation of painting in both the background and the render (the render being a spray "painter")
Lighting, flow, depth (rate from 1-10): 3; You don't really have any lighting going on in this tag, as the render doesn't seem any lighter or darker because of the background; it looks as if you sort of put him there. There's really no flow, it looks rather chaotic, but considering it's spray paint backgrounds, can't really judge too hard-ass on that one. No real amounts of depth, either.
Typography (rate from 1-10): 5; Very simple but fits nicely; it doesn't take focus away from the render, either, which is good.
Creativity (rate from 1-10): 8; A very, very creative way to go about this theme and I like the fact that you thought outside of the box completely on this one. You also incorporated the theme in both the background and the foreground.
Overall feel\look\effectiveness\composition (rate from 1-10): 5; You really need to focus on the lighting, flow, and depth of this tag. It lacks those things and they are key elements to tags. Otherwise, it looks pretty good.

Theme (rate from 1-10): 6, Painting buckets do indeed fit the theme painting!
Lighting, flow, depth (rate from 1-10): 4, I see you worked on the lighting a bit, could've done more with it though
Typography (rate from 1-10): 3, Text feels like it's added very quickly without thinking too much of it, could be better
Creativity (rate from 1-10): 5, The idea is nice, but it needs some more than just some painting buckets I think
Overall feel\look\effectiveness\composition (rate from 1-10): 4

Theme: 7, it would probably fit a theme of photography better than painting.
Lighting, flow, depth: 6, I suppose, the flow is diagonal going through the hot colours which is where the SOTW tag is.
Typography: 4, the colour chosen is great but the font isn’t very good; something looking less like handwriting, to fit the paint cans, would be a better choice; something smudged, perhaps.
Creativity: 6, good job making a rather bland and not exactly pretty render into something that actually looks like photography.
Overall feel\look\effectiveness\composition: 6, it’s pretty but it lacks something that would make it stand out in a crowd.
- Kelly's Judging:
Theme (rate from 1-10): 7; Paint buckets do obviously fit the bill on the theme
Lighting, flow, depth (rate from 1-10): 3; You've worked on the lighting and that's visible, but I think you made it a bit too bright all around. I can see depth in the paint buckets. I think there's really not much you can do flow wise with this graphic.
Typography (rate from 1-10): 4; I would have liked to see the text added in maybe a darker orange--a visible shade of orange or brown on top of the paint. Sort of to make it seem like it's drawn in or something.
Creativity (rate from 1-10): 5; A nice idea, but there's really not too much to the tag minus the buckets.
Overall feel\look\effectiveness\composition (rate from 1-10): 4; Not much for me to say here, honestly.

Theme (rate from 1-10): 8, like the other graffiti sig this one fits it aswell
Lighting, flow, depth (rate from 1-10): 6, the cans could use some lightning and should be darker on the far left side
Typography (rate from 1-10): 5, I tend to dislike graffiti fonts, however in this case it's okay, but it could use an effect or something I think here.
Creativity (rate from 1-10): 7, the whole concept is pretty creative I think
Overall feel\look\effectiveness\composition (rate from 1-10): 7, the effect and placement of your renders/stocks are good
Other: /
- Inhaps' Judging:
McManis
Theme: 9, does fit the theme quite well.
Lighting, flow, depth: 8, the spray cans gradually become darker the further left they are, thus bringing more attention to the man on the right.
Typography: 6, the text is disappointingly bland and lacks a connection to the rest of the image.
Creativity: 8, the effect on the cans and the person is very nice, but the space between the cans, the person and the text isn’t very pretty.
Overall feel\look\effectiveness\composition: 8, a very comic-book-esque style that looks nice, but the glow on the person’s head and the text is a stumbling block for a higher score.
- Kelly's Judging:
Theme (rate from 1-10): 7; Fits the theme.
Lighting, flow, depth (rate from 1-10): 4; The cans on the left side could be darker to show that they're more in the background and should not be more like the first things you see.
Typography (rate from 1-10): 4; I like what you did and how you used a graffiti font. However, I think the color looks really odd considering you used green to represent the paint.
Creativity (rate from 1-10): 7; The concept itself was very good. You thought ab it outside of the box.
Overall feel\look\effectiveness\composition (rate from 1-10): 5; Some minor things could have been fixed, but it looks pretty good.

- Akauri's Judging:
Theme (rate from 1-10): 3, someone who doesn't know what the signature is about won't guess it I think.
Lighting, flow, depth (rate from 1-10): 5, You have a lightning source at the bottom left but your render is shaded there, and has it's lightning source coming from the top right it seems, so that needs to be fixed.
Typography (rate from 1-10): 7 Not bad, but in this case it draws too much attention because of the background that's a bit unclear.
Creativity (rate from 1-10): 5 I see what you want to do but you overdid it, otherwise it could've been a nice signature
Overall feel\look\effectiveness\composition (rate from 1-10): 5 Here and there you made some small errors, the biggest one is the effect on your whole signature, it kinda ruins it I think
Other: /
- Inhaps' Judging:
Theme: 7, somewhat fits the theme; doesn’t stress enough that it is supposed to be a painting.
Lighting, flow, depth: 4, doesn’t do a very good job a showing what is the focal point.
Typography: 5, the font is nice but it does not fit this image at all.
Creativity: 5, applying a paint filter like that doesn’t look very good. Something more gentle to preserve at least some details would be better.
Overall feel\look\effectiveness\composition: 5, it looks quite amateurish. Why does the background on the right change so suddenly? It would make more sense if the glow around the border were more violet, rather than white and cyan, and the black outline’s corners are kind of jagged which is more apparent due to the glow.
- Kelly's Judging:
Theme (rate from 1-10): 4; It fits the theme...But you can't really like tell. If someone were to try to guess what the theme of the signature was based off of this, they most likely wouldn't be able to figure it out.
Lighting, flow, depth (rate from 1-10): 4; Some visible lighting, but not much. There really isn't a flow to this tag, as you have some random affect in the lower right hand corner going in one direction, but the blue-ish\purple-ish stuff right below the text going in different directions. There's also very, very, very, slight depth here, but it's extremely subtle and mostly masked by the way the tag is created.
Typography (rate from 1-10): 5; Very basic. It fits, but it almost becomes the focus because it's a bit out of place, if that makes sense. It fits where it is, but since it's so bright in comparison to where I think you want the focal to be, it doesn't work right.
Creativity (rate from 1-10): 5; It's visible that you went outside of the box on this one, but it isn't really... Can't really see what you made without having to argue whether it's meant to be abstract or a monster gone wild.
Overall feel\look\effectiveness\composition (rate from 1-10): 4; I think the tag would hav ebeen better if you perhaps erased lightly where some of the affects are over that big blobby thing near the middle and show us a bit of what it is.

- Akauri's Judging:
Theme (rate from 1-10): 7, fits the panting theme
Lighting, flow, depth (rate from 1-10): 7 The left side is a bit too black and your renders lacks color (wich causes the background to draw too much attention)
Typography (rate from 1-10): 7, you didn't do anything wrong, but I think a sans-serif font wouldv'e fitted better in combination with the c4d's. The placement is good though
Creativity (rate from 1-10): 8 haha, awesome that you could think of that, reminds me of my younger times!
Overall feel\look\effectiveness\composition (rate from 1-10): 7 nice signature, bit it feels like the background is more important than the render
Other: /
- Inhaps' Judging:
Theme: 9, excellent portrayal of painting but the text takes away the perfection.
Lighting, flow, depth: 10, the blue painted line and the black strokes do an excellent job at pointing the viewer to the focal point, and the light from the blue strokes is perfectly aligned with the render’s.
Typography: 6, very bland and simple, perhaps too bright. It doesn’t do justice to the rest of the image.
Creativity: 10, the background is nice with subtle colour variations. The transition from the paintbrush to the paint stroke is totally seamless.
Overall feel\look\effectiveness\composition: 9, the flow is very clearly illustrated; all elements help that in some way. The colour choice for the background is perfect, while the text is a tad too bright, taking too much attention away from the focus.
- Kelly's Judging:
Theme (rate from 1-10): 8; Fits thet heme
Lighting, flow, depth (rate from 1-10): 5; The left side is abruptly black in comparison to the beautiful right side.
Typography (rate from 1-10): 6; I like it. It annoys me though (tiny pet peeve of mine with the blocks near the name) that the pink-ish block isn't in placement with the others xD..
Creativity (rate from 1-10): 8; I like that you went outside of the box on this one
Overall feel\look\effectiveness\composition (rate from 1-10): 6; Like I said the right side is beautiful, but then it more or less becomes abruptly black. I think that would have been better suited if it were a dark gray.
