FIRST EVENT: GRAPHICS

BLueSS · by **BLueSS** » Wed Aug 27, 2008 11:02 am

WOO.

Yep. These are most likely going to be entirely subjective.

The medal is for best banner/background/cd title combination.

To get things started, my nominations:
Second Heaven
WOW (Best of the "smooth, flashy graphic" options)
Mutiny (They added a lot to the theme of the song!)
TWINKLE SNOW POWDERY SNOW
i-revolution (I totally could see these as official DDR graphics)
Propane Nightmares

Nominations can be changed by the three judges at any time, and 2/3 is all it takes for the files to make it to the "top 6 public vote". Any files with nominations from all three judges move on (unless there are more than 6 of those).

i'm still going through them and will edit my post later with my choices, but i wanted to say DAMN it's really hard to even find 6 graphics that i'd say are great

edit: well i'm only going to only pick 4 if that's okay. what i was looking for were graphics that made me think "wow!" and there really weren't many that did that. but here's my list:

we are your friends (edison radio remix) - these are graphics that look well-made AND avoid the cliches that so many people run into the ground nowadays

twinkle snow powdery snow - a little typical, but unlike other graphics of the same type it follows a definite theme (re: it's not just generic text slapped over a generic background) and really feels twinkly and snowy

wow - didn't think much of these graphics until i saw the bg and transition to video, cool!

girlfriend (speedy mix) - the person did some cool tricks with colors and textures to really make what could've been another gradient-and-outline-fest into something really active and fitting to the song

also, honorable mention to max don't have sex with your ex (grandale mix) for being funnier than most people probably realize

i-revolution- Very DDR authentic.
Girlfriend (Speedy Mix)- Great detail, fits the song perfectly.
TWINKLE SNOW POWDERY SNOW- Also fits the song perfectly, simply excellent.
Can U Feel It?- Love the color scheme.
SATELLITES- Pristine quality, very DDR authentic.
SOMEWHERE OVER THE RAINBOW- Yet another one very fitting of the song and DDR authentic.
WOW- Colorful, and text looks amazing.

-Three Recommendations- (Moving on)
TWINKLE SNOW POWDERY SNOW
WOW

-Two Recommendations-
i-revolution
girlfriend (speedy mix)
Can U Feel It?
SATELLITES

-One Recommendation-
We Are Your Friends (edison radio remix)
Second Heaven
Mutiny
Propane Nightmares
SOMEWHERE OVER THE RAINBOW

These are the counts. Any second thoughts from the other two judges, since we need 6 for the vote?

I'm giving "Can U Feel It?" and "Satellites" a rec.
Unless we got more recs for a 2 recommendation song, or another bump for the 1 recs, then that will be the top 6.

i'll recommend somewhere over the rainbow and i'll go ahead and throw support behind can u feel it? too

I've already recommended all the ones with two votes, so I can't help anything advance at the moment.

Hmm, we can either dwindle it down to the 6, or just put 7 into the vote. I'm thinking the latter option would work easier.
