- 8: I appreciate the effort and the use of the nebula (or whatever - I'm no astronomer!), but the jumbled up nature and over-busyness of the text really throws it. - 8: I like the idea but I think the font is slightly too large for the icon. It runs just a bit off the screen on the left and on the right, making the text feel cramped. Slightly smaller would have produced something that was still legible but allowed enough negative space for the composition to "breathe." - 8: The icon if very creative, but the image combined with the different fonts make it look very busy. Specially the font chose for "waste of time" is makes the icon hard to read. The colouring is cool thou. - 8: It's too dark for me. + 8: Excellent use of type. I like how the different fonts and patterns emulate the shape of the galaxy image and at the same create a feeling of movement, which is also part of the image. + 8: lovely coloring and the use of different fonts
"8: Good composition: nice picture and good choice of fonts & colours."
+ 11: good use of text. I love how the color on the text matches. + 11: The text is readable, and matches nicely with the stock image. The placement also works well - not too crowded, not too much spacing. + 11: This is my favorite of the 'snacks' icons because there's such a sense of depth, and the colors all work together really nicely. There's enough space to appreciate both the text and visual elements, not at all crowded.
"11: I like the muted yellow coloring and the text with its outline effect looks really nice. Also looks like an icon that can be used outside of fandom, knowing only the cool kids will get the reference. ;)" "Numbers 7, 11 and 14 distracted me by making me hungry and want to fall off the low-carb wagon." "11: If I could have chosen a third, this would have been it. Lovely coloring."
- 10: This is very plain and the text appears to be not properly antialiased, or the icon is saved at a low quality, or something that is causing distracting pixellation. - 10: the typography in the first part is uncoordinated (in lack of a better word). With simple text icons the most important part or focus should be emphasized by size or a special font, but I don't see a structure in the different font sizes. - 10: (the colors don't seem to go well the text) + 10: Simple but effective text. The color flip is super to show both sides of the conversation. (could have done without the periods though - the are a bit distracting and mess up the centering)
I missed the chance to vote cuz of personal goings-on this past week *sigh*, but had I been able to, I would have said: I really liked your icon. The font and how it was presented with the background was just lovely. I loved the style you used.
- 1: The background is gorgeous but the text does not mesh with the theme of the icon - 1: the text doesn't really fit with the background. Could have used a different font. - 1: (I like the background, but the font choice was just a little uninteresting) - 1: Nice subtle background to go with the quote, but the very blocky, tech-y font doesn't really go with the organic, natural, poetic mood of either the words or the background image. - 1: I think it's too simple and I don't like the font. - 1: The font chosen is very dull. The background is pretty, but the wording lacks to bring out any feeling from the qute. If there had been even one word in another font or colour or somehting, the icon would have been considerably better. - 1: the font doesn't go with the words - it's mechanical/computer font, but the words are about nature. The background is also dull and difficult to make out. - 1: The text is a little fuzzy, which makes reading it more difficult. - 1: the icon looks kinda boring, there's not really something special on it.
