SECONDED.

:-X Yes... Art is fun! Graphic design is fun! Promotion is fun!

Writing is business >.> (unless it's crappy fanfiction)

Agreed! Except I guess I find writing fun, too (when there's motivation to write).

Looking at your work, it's obvious that you enjoy what you do. Like I said before, you have a great eye for design!

And so does Kentona, from the looks of things. First one's fun, second one's moody, and with good colors going on.

Lots of talent in this thread!

Aww, thanks!!! #^.^# Yeah, writing can be fun... I guess I just find things more enjoyable when they aren't necessary or if I don't take them too seriously.

I agree, everyone's entries are looking good.

Hopefully the mods will forgive this slight bit of thread necromancy, as I just wanted to remind everybody that the deadline for this contest is in six days (May 1st). So if you have any ideas, even if you like aprilschild's (admittedly excellent) designs, let's see them! I am planning on having at least SOME pages have a rotating head banner so you can see your work on the actual site at some point or another.

And again to announce the obvious: Aprilschild won, and her creation(s) will be put up on the site by the time most people read this.

I didn't think it was obvious.... :'(






(j/k - her's were clearly the best)

fffff. more when I've had some tea.

had-some-tea-edit: idk what you guys are into but 'spectacular' and 'excellent' might be slight over-reactions to aprilschild's work? I mean yeah it looks pretty alright and is competent but there is a way to go to make it either of those. i think the photoshop-by-numbers effects might be a part of that! it could be a little more subtle in tone, too.

but whatever apparently my critical contributions count for bologna (this is not the only place I have aired my discontent) so I guess you guys are going to make do.

fuck if I could actually contribute anything (since college has me by the balls) so this is not exactly money-where-my-mouth-is. there wasn't that many entries though, so I'm wondering whether you could've waited out to see if anything more fitting came through.

doesn't feel any of my business anymore though :(

peace out bros *smokes drugges*

trembling-in-fear-edit: o shit max is online he's coming to call me ouuuttt !!!!!

I dunno man, this is pretty harsh... I know my stuff isn't like super awesome fantastic... I just did it for fun to try and get others to participate... but it's kind of shitty to just rain on someone else's parade when you haven't contributed yourself.

I bet you know something about graphic design - if you had such a problem with my stuff, you should have whipped something up to run against me, I bet you'd have won.

But it's really easy to be a critic and hate on someone else's stuff when you haven't put yourself out there. You seem bitter for not winning a contest you didn't even ENTER. The damned thing ran for like, a full month... it wasn't like they didn't give folks time to contribute. Again, if you had such a problem with my stuff, why didn't you make some of your own? There was plenty of time to do so.

I am in college too, and QUITE busy, but I still managed.

..it's kind of shitty to just rain on someone else's parade when you haven't contributed yourself.

Rockman: You announced your intent to make something on April 9th. The deadline was almost a FULL MONTH after that. Surely.. you could find the time to do some graphic design?

do not even go here I have literally just yesterday had this conversation with ryan and having exactly the same conversation with someone else. i can't predict the future and pretty hefty serious shit comes up. I am pretty sure I have discussed in on IRC anyway oto? (my memory is faulty today)

I even addressed this ever so slight irony so you're fools to yourselves really :(

besides this: 'uh oh you haven't actually made any graphics this time ?? oh well you can't critique at all' - it doesn't really work like this at all. if the only people critiquing are the artists themselves it is just a bunch of artists jacking each other off / ripping each other to pieces. you need outside critique to take a balanced view.

kind of done this bit already about critique but as for some sort of jealousy this is just you jumping the gun really. am I really jealous of winning.. nothing.. if anything it would be bitterness about not just being asked considering this is actually the community I am a part of but I am not that ridiculous. also time is relative to how busy you are and this is the first thing I covered so I have wrapped it up rather nicely.

I am in college too, and QUITE busy, but I still managed.

well done you. it is not just college. (oh btw we are not on the same wavelength - different education systems and all)

tl;dr: apathy apathy apathy apathy apathy apathy apathy apathy apathy i don't care that much I was just saying thanks for jumping the gun

fucking weird, dawg.

edit: fun fact: I am actually putting my scores together right now because I don't have time to do all this work.
