aznxenocide - 3 Points : Awesome background pattern, and all the colours go so well together. There are so many small details here which you won't notice unless you really pay attention, ie. playing with colours and patterns, layering to make it almost 3D.

Tsubasa - 2 Points : There is but one complaint I have with this, the texts! Either I'm kindda blind or they're actually kindda not readable o.O? Still ... awesome graphics. Especially love the hair breaking into rose petals bit <3

hemagoku - 1 Point : I like how you fill up the spaces in your sig. However, when compared to Tsubasa's and Xeno's work, your entry this week feels a bit monotoned. I do see how you made the 'blue' in the sig stands out though, and it's a good concept.

xeno - 3 points: Love the album and this very well reflects the style of hip hop. Love the colors and the 3d effect. Only thing I see wrong is the text could be a tad larger or more clear. Layering all that must have been a killer, lol

Tsubasa - 2 points: Same as the Jaws said about the text. Other than that it looks awsome!!

Hemagoku - 1 point: Seems kinds repetative compared to your previous entries. Face could've been a little more clear and it looks like you used magic cut or something cus I can see a little bit of grey strips under his left arm and on the right of the image by his hair. I dont know if the stuff by the hair is deliberate but it actually looks kinda good, lol.

Tsubasa - 3 points. I think the idea behind the varelly legible text was to add dimension into the image. Instead of using a special effect or something on those lines, you used text. Not only that, but you used a font of text really easy to read and an almost invisible one. This not only gives the idea of a hidden message in the image, but a really nice feel to it. Also, the hair fading into petals was just brilliant.

aznxenocide - 2 points. Yours brings a smile to my face. The severe contrast between graduation and a terribly cute teddy bear is SO oxymoronic that it's almost funny. Also, the way the image is displayed gives it a 3-D like feeliing. It was good, and the only thing that prevented you from getting the first vote was that I liked the other image better :p

Hemagoku - 1 point. True to your style, this image is similar to all your previous posts .) Nice colours and effects, but otherwise, it would have been nice to see something different -

[spacecat]

xeno-3 : nice work, love how it all comes together and the pic is too cute!

Tsu-2 : Lovely work, it blends nicely, I hate to sound like the others but I'd like diff text or no text personally, great work anyways!

Hem-1: nice job, you keep improving which is great. It is a good sig I just tend to like the others more this time that's all.

Love this so much. Your typography is amazing, and it works so well with the tag. Beautiful, metaphoric piece, it says so much. The colours are amazing, even. I am very impressed.

A little drop shadow around the bear's head could make it nicer, and some mild sharpening of the vector background. Text could use some tweaking, but the overall effects are amazing. Good job.

hemagoku - 1 Point
You improve every week. Good job, though text needs more work, and depth could be worked on, a little.

I love the colors and the head turning into peddles. Unlike most I really like the font, making it hard to see fits better with the graphics I think.

aznxenocide - 2 Points
The colors are great and cheerful, and the bear is supper cute.

Hemagoku - 1 Point
The blue and gray background colors are great.

Everybody who participated did really well, and it was hard to choose who was the best.
