Entry Deadline: February 24, 2014
Entries:
FIRST PLACE and PUBLIC FAVOURITE: Mr Rockeye - 82.5/120
- Leakee's critique 25/40:
- Idea: 6/10 Has some form of gambling on there.
Technical: 7/10 Very good sig indeed
Typography: 5/10 I like it but it could be much better aesthetically and placement is off
Execution: 7/10 Try not to have HUGE black lines on both top and bottom, I don't like that at all.
- Kelly's critique 27/40:
- Idea: 7/10 - fits the theme of gambling.
Technical: 7.5/10 - quite like it in a sense, but does need a bit of polishing up in areas, it's overall quite dark, could use some adjustment layers, and maybe fix whatever kind of weird effect you put on the cards.
Typography: 6/10 - plain, and quite far away from your focal point in the sense that it's almost becoming an additional focus imo.
Execution: 6.5/10 - for your boarder (the giant black line above and below), avoid it being anything bigger than 2-3 pixels, unless you are working on a larger canvas, even then.. stick with a 1 px black boarder all around when in doubt. If it's too big, it can become distracting. Good entry!
- Inhaps' critique 30.5/40:
- Idea: 8/10
Technical: 7.5/10
Typography: 7.5/10 - The colour is good, though its placement and lighting on his face implies that he should cast a shadow on it.
Execution: 7.5/10 - Quite colourful but perhaps a bit too dark overall. It could have benefited from being slightly cropped from the right side as it is quite large and thus left with substantial whitespace.
SECOND PLACE: Stealth - 66.5/120
- Leakee's critique 20/40:
- Idea: 5/10 Never seen the film but this sig doesnt show gambling in the slightest
Technical: 5/10 The render(s) look squished
Typography: 5/10 Its your style however I would have done differently
Execution: 5/10
- Kelly's critique 21/40:
- Idea: 5/10 - includes gambling, but not the normal 'dice' and/or 'cards' approach, so for those who haven't seen Ocean's Eleven wouldn't really get the reference - probably would have been good to try to include another element associated with gambling to be doubly sure.
Technical: 4/10 - not your best work in my opinion; I think the overall piece is quite squished together, and the two toned color doesn't really look good. Lacks effects and details, too.
Typography: 7/10 - typography works, I would have placed it differently, but I like the way it looks, and does seem gambling-oriented.
Execution: 5/10 - good entry!
- Inhaps' critique 25.5/40:
- Idea: 7/10
Technical: 6/10
Typography: 6.5/10 - Nice and simple but definitely needs better contrast.
Execution: 6/10 - The main problem is the low quality of the stock image, which is not improved by being squished. If the background is lo-fi, then it might be best to keep the signature smaller rather than going for the max size. The white blot in the top left does little good to it; if the image were not stretched, then it might not have felt needed.
THIRD PLACE: feedpenguins - 55/120
- Leakee's critique 19/40:
- Idea: 7/10 fits the theme greatly.
Technical: 4/10, good for a learner, you are improving every week.
Typography: 3/10 it takes away from the sig, honestly.
Execution: 5/10
- Kelly's critique 18/40:
- Idea: 6/10 - fits the theme of gambling.
Technical: 4/10 - as Leakee said, you are improving weekly, keep it up you'll get the knack of it ^^
Typography: 4/10 - a bit of a tip with text, avoid it being extremely distracting and/or hard to read. Text, unless it is the focal of your piece, is supposed to be subtle and fit in with the rest of the piece.
Execution: 4/10 - good entry!
- Inhaps' critique 18/40:
- Idea: 7/10
Technical: 4/10 - The use of blur to draw attention to the dice works well.
Typography: 3/10 - It might look fine on larger text but as it is now it looks dirty.
Execution: 4/10 - It has some direction but it largely suffers from having the wild background that offers no contrast for the foreground. It all just blends together in a kind of mess.

It has some decent direction this time but it still needs some blending and better text.

Is it intended to be squished vertically?
Also, your post signature (not your entry) is much too large. Put some of it in a spoiler or a certain admin might get hissy.

It's only slightly squished I'd say. The original cover isn't very good quality, so stretching out the pixels only makes it look worse, so by slightly squishing the photo, the overall quality is increased slightly. Also, I'll get to making my signature smaller.
