Vote for your favorite banner!
To encourage people to vote, I set up a poll. You can vote for only one person. The person with the most number of votes wins.
First of all, It's been a tough choice because all the entries are beautifully made and I really love how each entry showed the best in s2s projects.
Second, I voted for Aira's entry because I like how she organized everything. I love the main render and how it goes well with the background. Lastly, I hope people would find time to vote and comment xD.
Mia - if you chose something other than Skip Beat, I might have been more inclined to vote for you. It's not really you, it's the series you chose. With that out of the way, it would have been nice to see you to go a bit outside your comfort zone and use a bit more C4D and more interesting background. You do get plus points for choosing a them and conveying it.
Dani - All shades of blue are my favorite color so yay at yours not being the least appealing one to me. That said, the simplicity would have worked better without the white outline on your stock, but I still like the simplicity of it overall. Also wasn't really feeling the use of snow flakes on one side and circles on the other.
Aira - Yours is nice. Only problem with it for me is the words. The ones in the upper left circle can be confusing for a newb. It's a site with a downloadable forum reader, and GOTM recruitment? And the words near the hand look like a cluster f... I do like the fact that I can tell its a banner though, and yours is actually the second most visually appealing one to me.
Daya - Yours is the most visually appealing to me, so you get my vote. That said, you would have been way better off dropping the 4 series pictures you have above the forums name. They detract from the them of the banner in a unsightly manner. That cityscape background is also distracting from the rest of the banner. Nice use of C4D though.
@esh Thankuyou for the lovely comment and the advice!
I also pick Yana's entry. The color green is used very well in the graphic, and it brings ou Rin really well while still being all easy on the eyes. Overall I think it comes off as a strong graphic. It would be great, though, if the tagline you used isn't the life/love one, since it doesn't fit with the shonen image of the banner. That in itself isn't really much of an issue, though, given that the tagline was already there when this site opened.
Choosing just one entry is hard! I commend everyone who entered this round. All your works are beautiful. It was an honor to have competed with you, given that my aptitude for GFX has been reduced to almost nothing after more than a year of school. Kudos!
good job also to meimei and daniela. let's join again next time.
I haven't voted yet. Haha. Seriously, it's so hard to vote for one. Can I vote for all of the entries?
