WEEK 3 || voting
Late because I went out to Fry's Electronics >>; I got myself a shiny new microphone, a book on Spanish slang, and a book on Spanglish (with the first chapter of Don Quijote translated into Spanglish). Yes, I'm a Spanish nerd. XD;; And we got my brother Mavis Beacon, but I'm probably going to end up playing that more... because... I admit it, I actually did have fun with that program. <<;
Anyway! 27 beautiful icons this week ♥ And all you silly procrastinators; at least a third of those came in today, I'm sure XD
This week's Special Category is Best Composition, since I felt that a lot of the icons had good crops and layouts ^^ So, that means you should vote for the icon that you feel is most visually appealing in its use of positive and negative space, the arrangement of the elements in the icon, etc. (This doesn't just mean "best crop"-use of repetition of the original image, etc. can also be factors.)
There will also be a Mod's Choice and Special Voting for Lyrical ^^

unzip my body and
lend to my ear
a clear and
deafening sound
hearing only one
true note
you'll live forever
unzip my heart **
unzip my body ***

* Click on the text, then use the arrow keys to scroll down to view the full lyrics associated. I just didn't want the lyrics to stretch out the box, so I put it in a div. ^^;
** "[W]hen Toph is having her bonding moment with Aang and how she tells him about her life and how she wishes that she could live a better one."
*** "Unzip, chillax, freefall. :)"
Poll
* Which icon best fits the lyrics associated with it? The fit does not have to be literal; the best-case scenario would be that the icon and lyrics both enhance each other. ONLY FOR ICONS #18-27.
Remember:
During Voting
♦ Anyone can vote! You don't have to be a member or a participant. (This is subject to change if I find anyone breaking the following rule, though.)
♦ Do not vote for yourself or get others to vote for you.
♦ Make sure to fill out all the fields! That way, the voting is fairly even. :)
♦ Do not point out individual icons until after voting has concluded. You may, however, comment about the entire batch.
♦ For first, second, and third place, you must vote for separate icons. You may, however, vote for one of your top three icons in the special categories. (Ex: If you chose icon 99 as All Categories: First Place, you may choose it again for Lyrical: Best Adaptation.)
♦ Voting concludes on March 25 at 5:00PM PST.
After Voting Has Concluded
♦ All icons are snaggable. HOWEVER, you must check the submissions post to see who created the icon, and you must give credit unless otherwise specified.
♦ Icons with shaded labels are ones on which the artist would NOT like constructive criticism, so please respect their wishes. :)
♦ When giving constructive criticism, be polite and give the artist suggestions; don't merely point out what's wrong. Also, do not nitpick unless the artist replies and specifies that they would like more detail in the crit.

Good luck, everyone! :)
