I'm Back...

[Guest awitts]

After about a year I have decided to do my first battle. This should be easy for you. No sport rules please.

[alternateyou]

I'm up for it, I guess...if we can get some decent rules.

[Guest awitts]

Rules, anyone?

[Ignition]

Design a poster portraying an emotion. Must be/contain:

- 300-500x300-600

- Text stating the emotion (eg: "Love", "pain", etc) (it can have other text as long as it has this in as well)

- No premade backgrounds or anything like that.

Quite original rules, are they ok?

Due: Thursday 9th March

Vote I tell thy.

[Guest [ Tyler ]]

alternateyou gets my vote.

[alldaws1]

Awitts. I'm not liking AY's at all.

[Guest awitts]

Well this forum ain't as active anymore.

[Vector]

alternateyou shows a better, and closest, portrayal of emotion with good use of colour and imagery. Especially liked the symbol and font style for it.

awitts' portayal of emotion seems to be a bit off in some areas.

• The wheelchair and stairs seem a bit odd, no idea as to what they're representing.

• The expression looks more like pain, rather than anger, which leans somewhat away from the emotion chosen.

Right colour to represent anger though.

Overall, my vote goes to alternateyou.

I'm voting Awitts, I too don't like the other guys at all, I urge the next person to take the same stance too as it'd be a travesty if he lost.

What do you mean you don't get it? It's pretty obvious when you think about it. It's a piece about disability and the anger of those with a disability in certain situations. Which is what the wheelchair and stairs represent, someone not being able to get up the stairs because they are disabled.

[Mountainous Cleavage]

I know the battles over, but I figured I'd give my thoughts.

As soon as I seen Awitts', I knew exactly what idea it had behind it. Both are good, but Awitts' really stuck to me as soon as I saw it.

Vote: Awitts

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

I'd have voted awitts. His image shows exactly what I'd expect and I understand it as I know at least part of his situation.

Also alternateyou's use of Chinese (?) script seemed a little passe.

[Gongsun Zan]

I'm pretty sure the character used doesn't mean peaceful.

Or if peaceful is even an emotion.

[thuganomic]

No, it means peaceful.

And it is an emotion.

[The Mask of Norro]

Peaceful is a state of surroundings or being, peace is an emotion, but either way it works really
