REASONS: ( Click here for your icon number)
LESSER:
#1 - The icon is too dark and the black border is a bit overpowering
4 - reason the idea with a mirrored is original but the execution isn't very good - the coloured picture is too bright and looks ood - and the BW one is too flat. the white box with also doesn't lend anything to the icon.
#4 - the black and white part lacks contrast, the tiny text is unflattering
4 - the silver/grey brush distracts from the icon.
#4 - reason: belending the two images together would have worked better. and the brush seems so out of place with the rest of the icon.
04 - the Black and White part is under contrasted, and the icon as a whole is too busy.
#5 - the text is awkwardly placed (too close to her face)
#6 - the image is too much dark, and the background doesn't really match the colors
06 - the image does not have much contrast and the colors don't pop
#6 - The contrast between the sharp edges and blurred skin of her face is too harsh
#06 - Jennifer is a bit too dark, the texture in the background is distracting
#6 - good crop and texture)
#06 - The picture could have used more contrast, and the background texture is a little messy.
6 -grainy looks like it wasn't colored at all after being cropped
#6 - reason: the hard cut is plenty nice, but the background isnt all that flash. also, it doesnt seem as though he/she really did anything to jennifer, just shoved her on top of the background.
#06 - Bad texture use.
#6 - A good coloring is missing.
6 - the icon seems very washed out and the skin is blurred too much
#7 - too sharpened and the background doesn't go
#7 - the image looks a little bit crappy, and the blending is not really good
07 - The background texture is improperly and too colorful
#7 - oversharpened, the pink/yellow texture is unflattering
7 -backround texture doesn't work well/look good in icon
#7 - reason: the hard cut would have been much better without the white parts around the hair, they take away form the overall look of the icon. also the background is just so..BAM. it doesnt really go with the picture. the bg colours also dont really work, they seem too random and bright.
#07 - Distracting background color scheme.
7 - The cropping is good and the colorization too, but it was a huge mistake to use this gradient in the background. It cancel all the good things about the icon. Also, the selection arround Jen is too pixelated.
07 - Oversharpened, the glow seems out of place, and the background doesn't match the rest of the icon.
7 - the icons seems a bit too oversharpened
8 - reason the selective colours (maybe?) is looking odd on the icon also it is far too blurry. The small dots and text is badly placed and chosen and seems very awkward.
#08 - The crop could have been better and the text is too large for the icon.
8 - the speckles around her face distract from the icon. Changing the background colour may have helped.
#08 - more could have been done with the coloring, the blue/green coloring on top doesn't go with the rest of the icon and the font/text is uninteresting.
#9 - The shadow behind is too much blurred.
#10 - oversaturated
10 - reason the smaller duplicates doesn't work very well - the smaller especially is badly coloured and too coloured, also the text is too radiant.
#10 - the coloring is too much overpowering
10 - The coloring, especially on his face, is too purple and the text stands out too much
#10 - The icon is over contrasted/too dark
#10 - the text at the bottom is too overpowering, and the double image is awkward.
#10 - blurry, in the coloured pic she's an awkward shade of pink and purple which isn't flattering
#10 - The bright pink colour isn't flattering and the text doesn't fit well.
10 - the overlapping layer in colour distracts from the icon. Perhaps if it was just a softer shade it may have worked.
#10 - Way too pink coloring.
10 - Duplicating images is dangerous, and didn't work well at all on this icon. The duplicated photo is too big and makes impossible to see the original one. Also, the coloring is very odd, with too much red.
#10 - repeating effect is ineffective here, the coloring in the image is too harsh and red/purple. font and text used don't fit well.
#12 - the texture doesn't really match the icon, and the colors look weird with the b&w
#12 - It's too full
12 - the background is very busy and seems to detract from the picture
#12 - the icon is far too busy, jennifer is not the main focus.
13 - grainy,text doesn't work well with icon
#14 - she looks oversaturated and overcontrasted, I like the background texture though
