Part #1:
Fav.:
1 - overall the colors are better than in other two.
#1 - Love the texture usage and how they've placed the text.
01 - awesome sky colouring and long cropping, it really fits this icon
#1 - The icon seems oversharpened and the coloring doesn't compliment the icon.
#2 - It's simple and it works. It looks like a classic storybook picture, and the texture suits the image.
#2 - The black border doesn't match the composition. The light texture in the center of the icon is distracting.
#2 - Gorgeous coloring and I love the simplicity of the icon, indeed, nothing else is needed here.
#2 - It looks like an old photograph: very pretty.
02 - icon looks a little pretty and not interesting, it needs some elements of decoration
03 - interestiong idea, but text is unreadable and it hides the main part of the city look
#3 - This icons is simply stunning. The black and white is crisp, and the light texture adds a lovely contrast. The text is clear and nicely positioned.
Other critiques:
#1 - The texture on the clouds is strange and doesn't match very well.
#1 - The image seems a bit oversharpened while the text is blurry and difficult to read.
#1 - The coloring on this is beautiful; my only problem would be that the white text blends too much into the clouds in some small areas.
#1 - Text doesn't match the image and is hard to read. The colouring is also widely varying.
#2 - The grungy texture is a tad overwhelming and mutes the colors. Good cropping, but too much negative space on the top.
#2 - i like the darkness of the icon but it's kinda dull
#2 - It's too bland, they need textures.
2 - i don't see many changes from the original picture.
3 - too simple and stereotypical
#3 - The colouring is lovely and I love the cropping and how they've placed the text.
#3 - The light textures are extremely distracting.
#3 - the black and white is cool and the text is well done but i don't really like color textures
#3 - The icon is lacking of contrast. It's blurry and overtextured.
#3 - I can't really see the image. The b/w, the scratchy texture, and the text, while nice, are too much combined.
#3 - Text is too hard to read; all the effects seem to serve no purpose other than clutter up the icon. The light blobs are randomly (as opposed to significantly) placed.
Part #2:
Fav.:
01 - great using of textures and cropping is warm and beautiful + great caption
#1 - The composition is amazing. The coloring is so bright and "fresh". The polaroid + post-it textures all work together to complement the image nicely.
#1 - I find it extremely difficult to read the text.
2 - the mixture of black and white tones, and light texture is the advantage of this icon,
#2 - The random blob of yellow is really distracting.
#2 - Icon has lots of effects but the image manages not to be overshadowed by them - I like the off-centre bordering, and the icon is just interesting to look at.
#2 - the black and white and the use of textures is really cool
#2 - Beautiful composition and texture use, though maybe the text could be positioned so it didn't overlap the subject in that one area. ^^;
#3 - Really lovely coloring; however, if the middle part were to be brighter, it would offer greater contrast between light and dark.
#3 - I love the cropping and the text use.
#3 - The coloring creates a very dark and ethereal quality about it.
Other critiques:
1 - the cut of the picture is odd.
#1 - The many layers of the "photograph" layers creates a messy look.
#1 - Very lovely icon, but the text is difficult to read and the light texture is out of place.
#1 - pretty coloring but i'm not a fan of the text, it's too small
#1 - Border on orange post-it is shoddily done, and the image-in-photograph is very popular. Just not sure it's unique enough.
#2 - The icon is lacking of contrast and the black border is overpowering..
#2 - The black around the picture takes away from the rest of the image/textures.
02 - icon looks heavy and a little dirty because of a great amount of textures
03 - icon looks really simple and especially its text
#3 - the icon is too dark
#3 - I like this icon very much; it's got great colouring and texture, but doesn't have a real image that presents the city. If the words weren't there, there would be nothing about this icon that would set it apart from any other scene.
3 - too dark
Part #3:
Fav.:
#1 - The colouring is beautiful, nice crop too.
#2 - I really like how the textures work together to complement the image without overpowering it.
#2 - very cool coloring and cropping
#3 - The colouring is subtle but wonderfully warm and beautiful.
#3 - The coloring. Flawless. Gorgeous icon.
3 - awesome colors, its blur but not too much.
#3 - Gorgeous icon. Good picture choice, eye-catching coloring and perfect texture use.
03 - perfect icon and it doesn't need any decorations, cause it looks great with this colouring and textures
Other critiques:
#1 - Probably not a good picture choice. The rain distracts from an already strangely colored icon.
#1 - The icon seems oversharpened and the coloring doesn't compliment the icon.
#1 - nice image but the building looks too red
#1 - Great crop and color, but the water drops look a tad pixelly at that size.
01 - interesting idea with rainу drops and window, cute colouring. And if it was only one, I would choose this icon, but there is more perfect one.
#1 - Either raindrops or blurriness would have been a good choice, but not both together - it's very interesting, but just too hard to see.
1 - colors are too orange
2 - good icon, too hard to choose, this one is good too. but too pale
#2 - The scene is rather boring; there's nothing to catch the eye, no real focus. It's just a blank landscape.
02 - it's hard to understand what's on icon, because of light textures + black border distracts the icon
#2 - The black border doesn't match the composition. The light texture in the center of the icon is distracting.
#2 - The black dots don't really fit in...and the diagonal green texture at the bottom clashes with the picture.
#2 - It took me forever to decipher what the icon was of.
#3 - Too dark.
#3 - While there is good contrast in the reds and blues of this icon, it seems muted by the texture on top. Great cropping though.
#3 - the icon is too dark
I'll make banners for all of you as soon as possible ;)
And have a winner ;))
