First place and public favourite: A Crayon
Proof: [x]
total: 74/120
- Inhaps' critique - 24:
- Idea: 8/10
The idea in itself is very simple but effective with the scene being a possible allusion to the film Prometheus.
Technical: 6/10
The effects used in the more distant darker background are remarkably eye-pleasing but not so much when it is used on the lighter parts in the front, which creates a rather cheap feel to it, especially in conjunction with the lighting effects around the alien.
Typography: 4/10
Hardly the strongest point of the piece. It is not very legible yet draws a lot of attention what with the seemingly random black box that doesn't feel like it belongs where it is.
Execution: 6/10
It suffers heavily from colour balancing issues. As a whole, it is not great but had a lot of potential if one has a look at the darker parts of it that have really great contrast to them.
- Broeder’s critique – 25:
- Idea: 8/10
Cant go wrong with that render in this theme, and i appreciate the effort of trying to position him in a real landscape
Technical: 6/10
Techniques used are interesting and not often seen. They would have helped the sig a lot more if used more subtle though. Lighting effects around the render pretty much ruin the piece
Typography: 5/10
The block just doesnt it, and especially not with this placement.
Execution: 6/10
The colors should have been given more attention, it works in some rare sections but as a whole doesnt make this sig 'eyecandy' so to say.
- Tuff's critique – 25:
- Idea: 8/10
I like your choice of render and background.
Technical: 7/10
Choose one specific spot for lighting. I see from the top as well from the bottom. Tone down on the effects you used here.
Typography: 4/10
Very hard to read and very strange placement. Next time don't use the box effect.
Execution: 6/10
As Broeder stated, focus on the colours there. I see some blues here and there. Would have made your piece more appealing.
Second place: Leakee
Proof: [x]
total: 73/120
- Inhaps' critique - 23:
- Idea: 6/10
Apparently, the idea was to give it that cramped, claustrophobic feel that the Aliens franchise is so fond of, but the abstract background is a bit too abstract to achieve it well.
Technical: 5/10
The greenish overlay hurts the already lacking contrast the render has initially, notably the very bottom part of the render. It could benefit from a different layer blending option, so as to not look like it has been slapped on there without much thought.
Typography: 6.5/10
The typography is appropriate even if rather uninspired. It is probably the stronger part of the piece.
Execution: 5.5/10
It looks very much like a scene from an early 2000s video game. The render really could have used some contrast adjustments.
- Broeder’s critique – 26:
- Idea: 7/10
Render fits the theme, color scene sets a mood which helps this sig a lot
Technical: 6.5/10
The background isn't bad, the black around the edges just gives it all a pretty amateuristic vibe. Could have given more effort to creating a stronger focal point
Typography: 6.5/10
A good example that simple can work, its not bad text at all.
Execution: 6/10
Technically not a very good sig, but it works and all elements are equally good/bad so it fits.
- Tuff's critique – 24:
- Idea: 7/10
Good choice of render and placement.
Technical: 6/10
You should have more the focal point more evident and add more lighting to it.
Typography: 6/10
Simple, easy to read. Not much more to say.
Execution: 5/10
Too much green and adds an 'eh' to my thoughts.
