I do hope that everyone knows the rules by now.

the theme is to pick a quote & build a banner around it =]

vote for the banner you like best, not the person please.
-please try to state your reasons
-vote in a __ GMV format please

any other questions, please read earlier voting rules.


Robyn Leigh:

Artist Note*: I'm filling in for Michelle, so don't shoot me! The theme is "Somewhere Over the Rainbow". It's simple and soft, just like rainbows.

xYunaxFantasiesx:

Artist Notes* Best viewed here or in your FireFox Browser. Anyways I made this theme because I really liked the quote and it really fits into my life, because whenever I feel like Im not wanted or theres so many problems in my family, I draw and I feel a lot better or I just use look at the beautiful simple things in life like a tree, flowers, or clouds and it takes me away from my problems. Art is not just lines on a piece of paper, but it's what you can do with you imagination. Is it possible that a sidewalk can be upsidedown? In a place so dark can there be a ray of light? What can a single object represent and mean to you? Think about it, art is just your imagination at work.



SPECIAL THANKS TO ROBYN, WHO FILLED IN. :] <33333

The text is hard to read though
I love the dotted curvy line
the bg is too dark for me

Robyn:
-The quote is cute, but kind of unoriginal.
- The sig is a little plain.
- The pictures is pretty.
- I don't really get what that blue strip is on the bottom.

Yuna:
-I love the quote and how it is so closely related to you.
- The pictures/rendering are great.
-I like the way "crushes" and "art" are kind of..crooked.
- Good blending of colors.
-The gray of the dock looks a little..dull? Hmm.

Robyn:
I liked your theme, but I thought the whole thing was too plain. Is the background a city ? Or something ? o__o

Yuna:
I love the quote. Your theme is really awesome. I like the effects you did. It looks really awesome.

Great job to both of ya'll. xD

This is goodbye.
Who knows when I'm coming back.

Yuna gmv.

How ironic it is that everyone who faced against Yuna, except for Traci, dropped out for various reasons.

Robyn, your graphic is rather too simple. The quote is cute, but the graphic could have been better executed, with some more depth. I actually rather like your thick white border with the black stroke around it. I also thank you for filling in for Michelle. ^.^

Yuna, your graphic is gorgeous. I like the tilt of the angle of your pictures, because it proves to be very effective for the "chaotic" theme. The lack of saturation in the picture with the bent girl also prove very effective, as it contrasts nicely with the burst of yellow in the background. I like how you made your border, because it has a good amount of ununiformity. The flower on the lower left side of the picture is effective as well, because for me, it adds to the lonesome, grieving theme. Great job!

Wait, why did Michelle drop out?

Yuna GMV

Robyn, I like the whole Somewhere Over The Rainbow simplicity look. And it's cute, but it looks too simple. It looks like it would take me like 5 minutes or less to make it. And the text, it fits because it's simple. But I would have liked if you added brushes, added something from Wizard of Oz, added textures, effects, etc. Something to make it more than simple.

Yuna, I love the quote and the whole look. I'm loving the dashes and the pictures. You can definitely feel the quote through the banner.

Good job to both of you.

i miss blogring.

Yuna GMV.

Robyn Leigh:
-It's cute.
-Quote matches picture.
-I prefer concepts to be deeper, though. The quote you chose doesn't appeal to me that much.
-The border matches the text.
-I like that you didn't go crazy with text effects.
-Keeping it simple is great sometimes, but in this case, I think it looks a bit too simple. ><

xYunaxFantasiesx:
-I like how the text is not all one color.
-Very interesting border.
-Great concept.
-I like how part of a picture is desaturated. It gives an endearing balance to the graphic.
-Good choice of font.

I love Robyn's too, though. (: <3
The reason I picked Yuna's is obviously just 'cause Robyn's is plainer, but that's obviously gonna be expected, since she made it on short notice.

THANK YOU FOR FILLING IN, ROBYN, I LOVE YOU. (: <333333333


Good job both of you<3

This was hard for me....

Robyn's, although it was very simple, was very appealing. It's clean and pretty, and I really have no complaints at all. Good, good work, Robyn. It's beautiful. However...

Yuna's theme was VERY touching, and she illustrated it well in her graphic.

Yuna GMV.

Good job to the both of you. :]

I'm bad at math for two reasons: I'm not good with numbers.
