04/10/14 Top 3 Pick; Mistress of All Evil

Don’t take any candy from this stranger or prick any spindles! This dark mistress is seductive with a long graceful neck, large sultry eyes, and thin jaw line. Elegantly set in a floral motif frame that balances the negative space around the figure.

04/10/14 Top 3 Pick; I Destroy NY

“Chose the form of your destroyer! …It’s the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man.” Remember, when someone asks if you’re a god, you say YES! This take on a simple iconic design is very nicely executed. I enjoy the simplified smiling representation of the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man. Also, I enjoy how even the large letters are set with an even amount of negative space around each form.

Thank You Rbucchioni

04/10/14 Top 3 Pick; Nothing is Awesome

“Here in Cloud Cuckoo Land, there are no rules. There’s no government, no baby sitters, no bedtimes, no frowny faces, no bushy mustaches, and no negativity of any kind.” Well, Grumpy Cat certainly personifies (felinifies?) negativity. The polar opposite of the bubbly Unikitty from Lego Movie. Using simple block shapes Lego uni-Grumpy Cat stands stagnant on the blue gray background. The circular lego pattern on which she appears to stand on gives the design depth. The lack of white in the letter forms in the foreground set the mood and give the design a nice dull appearance.

03/28/14 Top 3 Pick; Biotropolis

Andrew Ryan’s worst nightmare! A wonderful dystopian mash up. Just as Freder had to journey under the ground to learn the ugly truth of his city, so too does the audience of Bioshock go under the sea. The elongated design with the figure at the bottom mimics the depths to which the characters go through. The geometric, art deco style is justly used to convey both subject matter. I enjoy the warm antique gold tones on the black background.  The typography uses cut out, angular shapes again tying both subject matter up nicely.

03/28/14 Top 3 Pick; Falling Snowflakes

The shirt illuminates Elsa, The Ice Queen’s magic. The impressive glow effect achieved by the contrast of the bright blues against the dark background is incredible. I greatly enjoy the out of focus snowflakes represented by lighter circles floating in the mid-ground and background. Her cape has a nice dynamic pose defined out of the negative space. Else’s pose is interesting, as the figure is facing away and looking back. The glow around her head keeps the focus on her.

Wyldstyle the MasterBuilder is doing her best Rosie the Riveter impression here. A classic design that translates well into Wyldstyle’s bold attitude and gender breaking perception. The combination of bright bold colors, and thick lines nicely renders her strength.
