1. Um. It's a bit LQ, actually. I think the original would've been great, but it seems t have gotten to an extremely low quality point sometime. I can hardly read the text. Otherwise, I can't say much. I'm not a big fan of the reds you used, and probably would've used a different colour, but it's okay. It worked alright here. ^^;
2. Herpderp. I like it, except for the blurring on the right side. It looks a little too blurred to me, but eh.
3. Despite not really being a signature and more of a banner. (I have no idea how to explain it. You just didn't use any art rules and slapped things onto one other. More like... banner/advertisement design, than signature design. That probably doesn't make much sense) It actually looks quite nice. I like what you did with the text. It's lovely. At least the Music one is fabulous. I'm not sure how I feel about the text below it. The Bokeh and music symbol in the Background works nicely. It adds a touch, but it doesn't overpower the eyes, and isn't a vocal point. Very nice. I really do enjoy that Quiggle as well. The only last thing I can say about this is you probably could've done a bit of a colouring job or something of the like to bring it all together. The way, I look at it, even a very low gradient map or adjustment layer is like a fine cover. It doesn't appear to do much when you apply it,but what it does, imho, is brings things together. Ties them together, in a sort of way. That probably didn't make aany sense,but meh.
4. Huh. Let's see here. The border doesn't work. I would've done like a 3 pixel bar on the top and bottom, but that's just me. It's a bit too monochrome. And there's conflicting focal points. On one hand, we have the leg, and his guitar, on the other, we have his head on the far left side. That's really conflicting. The text is, meh. I'd have gone with something else, personally. I'm not quire sure what else, but that font (well both fonts) don't exactly work nicely. Sorry. You do have a nice little blur thing going on, I must add~
5. Yup. This is beautiful. I don't have much to say, sadly. Except the C4D's, I personally would've put them at a different angle,but that's just me. I'm assuming those are wireframes type deals on the sides? Yea. Those. I like those. They work well. ^^ And love the pink. It just works here. Lovely job. :3
6. I like your C4D work, and stuffs. But, your focal seems to be buried in them. Expose her a little more would've been better, imho. As great as C4D's are, you don't want to overpower your focal person. or your stock. And, I'm sorry, that's whats happened here. I'm not quire sure whether I like the B&W thing you have going, or not. Hm. A bit more colour would've been nice, I guess. /notsure Overall, very very nice.
7. This looks a bit low quality too.

What is meant by the music theme? Isit music in general or like your favourite band or genre?
Whatever you associate with music, I guess. Which can mean your favorite band/artist, or genre. It's really up to you. c:

1. One is good. It has flow. Although, it seems a bit low quality. The border effects you have going just don't work. I'd either make them solid, or remove them. Also, the kind of monochrome thing you have going doesn't work nicely. either add in some more splashes of colour or completely make it b/w, although the former, me thinks, is a better idea. And whatever the orange things by lightning are don't work. Overall, very good attempt.
2. What it looks like, is you made a background, slapped on the guys, and then slapped on text. Easy peasy, doesn't look like much real effort. It looks more like it could be an advertisement for a FF site, rather than an actual signature (in that context, it's great). As is, it's okay.
3. Looks okay. Basically blurred city background, and placed Sora fanart on there. You could've done a little more to spice this up, such as star texture, or perhaps a C4D. I'd play around with this a bit more and see what you can do. Also, the colouring isn't the greatest. Try messing with it a bit more? (It appears to be a soft light/hard light effect, but I could be wrong)
4. Sora and the KH logo thing don't go together here. At all. The Sora thing looks really random and doesn't exactly fit with the text either. Also, the text. Don't use outglow on text. Just don't. (Unless you know exactly what you're doing, but for 99.9% of siggies, avoid it at all costs) It also needs to be placed better. I have a feeling you could've made a sig out of that text, and made the text the focal point, but that's just me.
5. Huh. A bit too bright. Also, I notice how the clipping mask/strip behind sora doesn't align with the wireframes and C4D's you have going. Not too bad, it just bothers me. I do like your colouring though. Also, that red effect to the right of Sora (just that wave-y thing part) should go.
6. I don't have much to say about this. A bit more colouring job would've been nice, if you were going for something simple like this. Also, see if you can make another copy of the renders and fill them with a single colour and play around with it. (I don't have any examples off the top of my head. sorry. I'd have to go look. ;_
7. I have nothing to say about this. /zips mouth

Blegh. This schedule confuses me. So, my classes that I know I have everyday say M1, T1,W1 in the meet days Column. But the problem lies with art. I have a class thngy that I was supposed to take every monday/tuesday (Well just one day of the week, not sure what it is, since I haven't been there to figure that out yet) And art every day I don't take that. (Art: M1, W1, R1; Otherclass: T1, T2; Which looks like that would be Tuesday and Thursday. But I'm only supposed to take it one day, and art all the others. Plus R1 isn't really abbreviation for Friday, sooo)
1: Biology
2: Phy Ed
3: Spanish (Which oddly, looks like the only thing I lack homework on. D:)
4: American History
Lunch
5: Language Arts 10
6 Geometry
7: Studio Art/other class.
I'm excited. /sarcasm
#1506775 SOTW #14 VOTING!!!!!

I'm going to get things thrown at my head. But I've been holding this in for too long, so idgaf. *braces shield*
Having been a graphics nerd, and being anti-social here, this is always my problem. =/ I agree 98%, except you forgot to mention 11 as a decent entry. I always find nothing funny about the 'humorous ones. They're a joke between the members, which I'm fine with. But - why. Just why. /facepalm. It's terribly made, not funny.I'm looking at the vote distributions and really? I can understand #5 and #7 being up there because they're good and you can tell that the artist put work into them.I also see #10 being up there because it's simple, eye-catching, and it's a decent example of vector art (my personal favorite).
But like #3 is just a .gif taken from PandF when Candice touches the hallucinogenic moss with text over it. Yet people are voting for it.I was going to submit an entry next week, but clearly since no one really votes fairly and pretty much votes for their friends (let's not bullsh*t here, guys. I honestly don't believe people would unbiasedly pick some of these over others) or vote as a joke, I'm probably not going to.
It's also a huge insult to people who actually put in effort on their submissions.
I'm looking at last week's competition and really... "green skorcheio".
and pretty much votes for their friends (let's not bullsh*t here, guys. I honestly don't believe people would unbiasedly pick some of these over others) or vote as a joke, I'm probably not going to.
Also, considering the humour/cleverness factor, apparently the green scorchio was made by a veteran member/one who knows the humour, it's practically impossible for a n00b like me to win, because I don't know what you guys find clever/humourous. Unless I come out with something that's completely amazing. (which is nope.jpg), there is absolutely no chance of me winning, simply because I don't have social footing here.
I couldn't agree more. Normally, when I enter something, the most votes I get is 3 on average. >__>It's also a huge insult to people who actually put in effort on their submissions.
in fact i prefer simple yet stylish sigs over complicated ones
Complicated =/= talent.
simple =/= no talent.
In fact, once you get into digital graphics, you'll find overly complicated/filled to the brim visually things, usually don't look as great as simply put things. It does take a lot of time to learn how to arrange things simply, but that they shine. I've been at this for a year, and I'm still not able to do this. You can have 2093842934 layers in photoshop, but the outcome can look pure and simple.
(Indeed random, but I wanted to say that)
I should inform you that you need to get a sense of humor quick, otherwise you won't enjoy yourself here
Good luck with that. /notfunny
600x250 should be the absolute maximum. Just sayin'
There should be a better set of guidelines for the SOTW. The rules are too loose as it is. About half of the "signatures" up there are too big to even be called signatures inthe first place.
But really. Whatever floats your boat. I'm not going to really be a jerk about it, because it's not worth my time. /steps off soap box
#1495430 Why do people get silenced?
Posted by Juturna
on 03 August 2011 - 07:22 AM
Once I got warned for telling someone (via neomail) I just came from a funeral,
Not mentioning the word "party".

I mean seriously, do they expect everything to be rainbows and butterflies? To only discuss neopets? If that were the case, I'd suggest putting it an already scripted-chat that limits you to pre-approved phases.
Also, the party one is really stupid. Party doesn't always mean drugs. It simply means a special time that's supposed to be happy. It's really stupid it would be in the filter. =/
it really bothers me that they can read your private correspondence...
I suggest A: They don't go in there unless for a reason, such as being reported and B: Look into it if the filter picks something up, and see if the person had bad intentions before silencing them.From what I've heard, I think there are certain words that autosilence people. And that the filters that pick up said words are overly sensitive.
And I've heard they don't really unsilence people a lot so that's just stupid as all hell. If they did something bad enough to deserve to be permanently silenced, they might as well just froze them.
#1484429 All Drugs Should be Legalized
Posted by Juturna
on 12 July 2011 - 06:55 PM
Yes. Do it. Please. Honestly, I've never met a person who does drugs. (Well at least my awareness that they did it. Of course I've met somebody who's done them, but you get the point) But, imho, there's a better way to get people to stop using them than to illegalize them. I know there's a lot of factors in why people use drugs, and it's very complicated, but trying to scare people away from them with 'your life will be ruined' and 'your skeleton will lie in the prison forever' really doesn't help. Sure, it stops scaredy cat idiots like me from doing anything, but those without that fear, are not even going to pay attention to attention it, and do it anyways.
Although I really really like the law, and the effect Portugal put in, not legalizing them, but not straight out punishing them either.
This was probably really stupid for a debate post. Feel free to ignore this.
