05/29/14 Top Pick; Game of Pockets

starCreativity – Wonderful way to portray these Game of Thrones characters with their animals.

05/29/14 Top Pick; Kitty The Fool

starComical – Interesting mash-up of the big, tough Mr. T as the cute bubbly Hello Kitty. Comical play on words.

starExecution – Nice clean rounded lines and bold block colors that represent the Hello Kitty aesthetic.

Thank You Manospd

ript_marshmallow-terror_1401340438_full

05/29/14 Top Pick; Marshmallow Terror

starComposition – The Stay Puft Marshmallow man towers over the silhouette of the little heroes dominating the design.

starColor scheme – Wonderful bold colors and very nice use of half tones.

starExecution – Effectively looks like a comic book cover. Super interesting, I would enjoy reading this comic. I also really enjoy  the building. It is nicely outlined and created out of the negative space.

starTypography – Type looks great! The various fonts look great together. I really like the lower right curved block of text.

Thank You Manuel.Peters

ript_back-to-the-firehous_1401340428_full

05/29/14 Top Pick; Back to the Firehouse

starColor Scheme –  I really enjoy the combination of the warm orange-brown with the cool gray-blue. The colors work together nicely and offer the contrast of both warmth and cool. I also really enjoy the yellow glow of the Ecto Trap.

starTexture – Wonderful stippling texture of the background and foreground ecto glow. The nice deep wrinkles in the jumpsuits are descriptive and also add wonderful texture.

starComposition – I really enjoy the angle in which the scene is set. It keeps the design dynamic and also nicely showcases the Ecto-1 vehicle and the three men.

starExecution – Nicely resembles the Back to the Future poster. All three men are easily recognizable as Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, and Harold Ramis.

Thank You NinjaInk

qwertee_princess_1401315355_full

05/29/14 Top Pick; Princess

star Color Scheme – Wonderful shades of gray with a pop of bright red. I really enjoy the washy light gray background giving the design a sense of aerial perspective.

starTexture – I love the white wild wiry lines in the foreground that suggest tall grass. The light gray water-color splash within the moon are amazing.

starContrast – Wonderful play with positive and negative space.

05/29/14 Top Pick; Greyjoy’s Hot Dogs

star Comical – While dark and sad, the design has its own comical charm.

starExecution – Design looks similar to the Nathan’s Famous Hot Dogs design. Simple clean design that almost requires a second look to catch the message.

Thank You RobGo

teevillain_mistress-of-all-evil_1397106777.full

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.

ript_i-destroy-ny_1397106785.full

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

teefury_nothing-is-awesome_1397117657.full

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.
