round 2 challenge 6 voting
a bit later than it could've been, sorry... is it just me or are the email notifications turned off for anyone else as well? I did check it and my settings are all the same, yet I haven't been getting any notifications for new comments since yesterday :S
And, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do read the voting rules before you vote, especially if you haven't voted in many LIMS contests before!
skipping: homoprinsessa
rules:
- vote for 3 icons of lesser quality and give valid reasons
- when you give reasons for your negative votes, please stick to the technical aspects of the icons, no bashing and no personal preferences like "I don't like that style"
- also vote for 2 favourite icons, giving a reason is optional here
- the reasons for your favourite icons can be technical as well as just fangirl/boy-ish :)
- don't vote for yourself as a favourite and don't ask anyone to vote for your entry
- you can vote against yourself, I don't think that would be smart though
- you don't have to be a participant or member of this community to vote, every signed in LJ member can vote - anonymous votes won't be counted
- the voting ends this Monday afternoon, the results and the new challenge will be posted then
- if you have any questions about the voting rules, just ask :)
voting example:
lesser quality:
#38 - there'S not enough contrast in the icon
#55 - the text doesn't fit the image and the overall colouring is too dark
#72 - the texture is way overpowering, I can hardly see the actual subject of the icon
favourites:
#66 - I love the crop, and the text is just perfect!
#84 - great colors! :D
These are just examples, please try to be as detailed and constructive as you can when you vote, these reasons are meant to help the icon makers. If you are unsure about whether your reasons are acceptable or not, please take the time and read this tutorial on how to vote in LIMS contests.
In case there's still something wrong with your vote, I will ask you to revote - if you fail to do so your vote will not be counted.
NEW: Please refrain from using words like "weird" and "strange" without further explanation, and do not compare one icon to the others, as the makers did not have the other icons to compare their own icons to. Also, try to word your votes as objective as possible, "I think", "in my opinion" etc. should not appear in a negative vote unless you are making a suggestion on how to improve the icon!
Thanks for reading all of this, and now cast your votes! :D
