Creativity
Visitor comment "It's the best of the best. It's typography and a blend, all wrapped in one."
Valiant
Jade's comment "It looks like an antique painting, which I think is really creative and generally fabulous!"
Valiant
Jade's comment "Even though you see them so often, I think in this case the postcards and polaroids have really captured the essence of the photos."
First Place
Visitor comment "I really love the flower shapes and the cutout style!"
Second Place
Visitor comment "This was a tough decision, but I'm going for this one because the text jumped out at me and said 'Hey there, I'm quite vibrant, eh?' and I was like like 'Dude, I concur.'" (As a sidenote, this made me laugh really hard. Thank you to whoever sent it in!)
Third Place
Visitor comment "It's really sophisticated."
First Place
Visitor comment "I think it's lovely. :)"
Second Place
Visitor comment "I think the effects used here are very interesting!"
Third Place
Visitor comment "I like it because of the photo arrangement and the way they're split apart."
First Place
Visitor comment "The colours are very realistic and the eyes are beautiful."
Second Place
Visitor comment "Very nice colour of the eyes."
Third Place
Visitor comment "One word came to mind while looking at this one, and it was 'Romantic'... I get a sense that she's staring up at her lover's face, and the warmth in the hues are what brings that out in her expression. Loved it!"
First Place
Visitor comment "I love the colours and it doesn't seem fake."
Second Place
Visitor comment "This stands out. I love that they have thought out of the box and added green to the red lips. All in all, it works great!"
Third Place (tie)
Visitor comment "This one is absolute perfection. Love the glossiness, love the rich shade of red. The colorist even remembered to put the red on the paintbrush, too...which some forgot while using this particular photo. The gold in the brush is also spot-on."
Third Place (tie)
Visitor comment "Most realistic and looks better than the others. Also - nice arrangament."
First Place (tie)
Visitor comment "I like how the icon looks nothing like the original image."
First Place (tie)
Visitor comment "I just adore the colours that came out, the only set I'd use. :)"
Second Place
Visitor comment "It's lovely! The text works well."
Third Place
Visitor comment "Each one of these icons are beautiful and they work very well together. My only concern is the dotted frame around it - it's a bit too dark and overtaking for the pretty and delicate icons!"
