Ok. I know its WAY early, but I really wanted to see if I could get what was in my head out onto the screen. I think I came pretty close, and I'm quite happy with it. Since you mentioned text work, I decided to go with lyrics to some of the Nickelback songs that mean the most to me, or I just plain love more than some of their others. The background was done by me throwing some random brush shapes in different colors on the base background, then adding a filter *gah I can't remember which one* and that was one of 2 total filters I used. The other filter is a diffuse glow on the argile pattern on the background layers. I used blur, burn, and smudge tools on the background, a transparent color overlay, and a few other things. The rest was just shapes and then getting the text right was a B*itch. I wanted to practice using the perspective feature, so this was a good practice for me with that.

I cant move the battle. I have to wait for the battle board mod to move the thread. I have moved my own before and was yelled at because it screws up the organization or something.

Yes, he stepped down, and I've been too busy to notice the neglect of the poor wittle battle board. Anyway, my vote goes to Dishy. His piece is very pleasing to me, and the placement so perfect. Sadira's is a little too busy with text for my taste. Nox's really stands out, and the text is subtle enough, but I just happened to like Dish's piece more.

Dish, I like what you did with this. The placement and the concept is really good. I think you could have gone a little further with this, and added a little more color. Sadira, yours is really crazy with the text. I would try to cut back a little bit, and be a little more conservative. Nox, yours is nice, but kind of bright. I think you should work on your contrast, My vote goes to Dish, his concept was the best IMO. Good job everyone!

Sadira: A lot of text, way to busy, sometimes less is more. I like the background but I think different colors would look better.
Dish: Interesting concept, it looks like wallpaper. I like it but I swear I've seen something very similar from you.
Nox: The contrast is fine maybe it's your monitor Ryan. I really like it, aptly titled, it's an explosion of color and colors that go well together. Nice subtle text plus good placement.
My vote - Nox
Dish - 2 Nox - 1 Sadira - 0
