NLSC Sig League Week 4 - Awards Theme

Wed May 03, 2006 12:06 am

Bit of a disjointed round with a couple of forfeits, hopefully that won't be the case leading up to the final round.

HOW THE VOTING WORKS

You PM me with the following details for every matchup that you're not involved in. Example:

Matchup: Wankster vs nbalive744
Winner: nbalive744
Comments: Both sucked but I felt nbalive744 didn't do his by controlling the mouse with his tongue.

It's that simple. Try to get the votes in as quickly as you can so we can move on to next round.

Also, remember that if you're not in the sig league, you can't vote this way...

FOR THE PUBLIC

Vote on which sig you thought was the best overall.

In the next post I'll post all of the entries.

I couldn't make a graphic out of the Colin/TBD match-up because Colin's is animated.

CROSS CONFERENCE MATCH-UP

TBD got my poll vote.

Matchup votes:
Jae
Colin
Cyanide
TBD

Sorry Axel, I respect you as a graphical designer and you've made some very nice things and lost too much, but it would almost be cheating if I gave you this vote (you probably didn't have enough time to throw out your normal quality).

CK
Jae
Peachy
Cyanide
TBD

CK's best.

Wed May 03, 2006 6:04 am

CK got mine.

Wed May 03, 2006 7:05 am

I'm checking these out on a crappy school monitor that is really dark. I can't see any of the orange in the background of mine for example, at it's lightest it's very dark brown. So just in case you'[ve got a dark monitor I'll post a bright version of mine so you can see it. Either way I'm sending in actual votes until I can really see what I'm looking for. This is what I can gather.

CK's is nice, good idea, but the Portland jersey just looks off, and should have some of the stripes. But it's not a big deal.

Overall I like Cy's best. He's great with the font and the placement of the players.

Jae, looks nice, but I don't think the brush on the jersey in the bg works well. Looks like a black fractal? (N)

Peachy, the background is flat and uninteresting. And you got the lighting wrong. I'd say nice effects on Smush, but I happen to know that the stock you used from Slam already has very nice effects. But nice choice on the picture.

Axel, little slump? Not enough time. It's not ugly or anything, just underwhelming.

Cable Guy, good except for the font placement. Kind of floating a little higher than I thought it should be.

Remy, good colouring, and very nice text and text effects. It works great with the style. A little more variance in the yellows would be nice.

Once again, may be influenced by a crappy monitor. Sorry.

edit: back at home, can't find Diaw-sig .psd, not going to bother with a brighter one. And basically all my comments stay the same, except that I noticed that Peachy's background seems low quality and kind of blurry.

Wed May 03, 2006 9:05 am

Cyriel got my vote, Cyanide & TBD's tied at a close second.

Didn't like Axel's too much, Matrix font in orange and just a pic of Marion, could've been a tad more complicated.

Wed May 03, 2006 9:58 am

I'm the only one to vote for Cy? :P

Let's see; I vote Null; Jugs; Peachy, Colin's is too dark, that's the only problem; Cy, obviously, Axel's is too plain; and me. :mrgreen:

Wed May 03, 2006 11:24 am

CK's looks really good....voted for taht

Wed May 03, 2006 12:03 pm

I liek TBD's, voted for that!

Wed May 03, 2006 2:06 pm

Welll I nearly forfeited, but I decided to slap something together in 10 min. I figured I could spare at least that much time... too bad, luck continues to go against me, I didn't get partnered with Null or Jugs. :(

Wed May 03, 2006 2:07 pm

CKs and Jaes kick arse! But CK gets the vote coz of the 3 jersey switches.....not sure what its got to do with Awards tho. :eh:
Definitely good overall, quality not quantity :wink: .

lol you fucking hater, you can't vote for them cause they forfeited. :lol:

zmac - I had 'draft prospects' as theme.
Colin - yeah you're right about the Portland one, the text is too straightened to look real but the lines you're talking about are there though (kinda cut off).

Wed May 03, 2006 4:08 pm

too lazy to pm

cklitsie
Peachy
Axel
Cable Guy

My voting vote goes to cklitsie cos of the jersey switches

Wed May 03, 2006 4:36 pm

I voted for ck. 3 jersey switches (Y)

Wed May 03, 2006 5:06 pm

Damn Cy, that is awesome. (Y)

Colin, do i sense some bitterness in that post or does mine just suck? :crazy:

My votes

Ck
Jae
Cy
The Black Death

I hope the next round will be good (Y)

Wed May 03, 2006 5:12 pm

Bitterness? No. I just think it's worse than your previous efforts. Regardless of the fact that we're matched up this week I think you took a step back.

:) Im fine with you giving me tips and stuff but dont be such a prick about it.

Ck, all the switches look realistic cept the Rudy Gay one. But very nice work anyways (Y)

Wed May 03, 2006 5:24 pm

Sorry if that came off as being a prick, that really wasn't what I was going for.

And one more thing, this version of my sig down below showed up how I wanted it to look on a darker monitor. That's a tip to remember for next time, check something that's very dark or light on different monitors. So thanks for letting me know.

I think that match up of the week was Colin/Peachy. Both were good, but I liked Colin's better because it appeared to incorporate more design elements than Peachy's... but visually, both were great.

Cable Guy - I like yours a lot, but I think the white cloud sort of detracts... maybe find something else to add to it other than that. Regardless i still voted for yours b/c I thought TBD's was too 'busy'.

Thu May 04, 2006 3:59 pm

Nah it's cool I hadn't tallied them up yet so they'll count. And LMAO at your title :lol:

Fri May 05, 2006 8:50 am

I voted for Ck just cause of those sick jersey changes.

Fri May 05, 2006 10:54 am

I'm typing in from NYC just to quickly say that I think Peachy has the best one just by aesthetics and composition alone. I don't know why CK got so many votes, no offense, but it's not an exciting looking image. I think it's just the jersey changes that garnered so many votes.

Bye bye guys :wave:
