Signature Of The Week
Voting | Week 008

This is the voting thread for Week 008, where all members of the OtakuBoards community are welcome and encouraged to join and vote for their favorite banner for the week.

Voting will be taking place until Monday December 8th, 2008 @ 5:00 PM GMT. The next SOTW contest will begin shortly after that date.

A few notes before voting

• We encourage you to both vote in the poll and reply with a post stating who you voted for and why. In the post you can let the participant know what you liked, didn't like and in the latter case, how they could improve. For further information, please read the Art Studio Basics thread, on Constructive Criticism.
• Remember, this is a banner contest. Therefor, please do not vote for someone because you like the person so much, but instead vote for someone because you like the banner over the other banners.
• When voting, you're asked to also look at how well the banner fits the theme. This week's theme is Hobbies and the contestants went many ways with this topic!

Without further ado, here are the entries for this week's Signature of the Week!

Hobbies: ‘‘1) Playing with Photoshop's blending filters; 2) looking at pictures of pretty boys; hence 3) listening to songs by hide (whose song "Beauty & Stupid" is also featured here); 4) collecting yaoi. Quite evident, wasn't it?’’

Hobbies: ‘‘music, well actually an obsession with the Adicts. I call collecting pictures and obsessing over them a hobby.’’

It was hard choosing between Lucy and SaiyanPrincess, but at the end I chose Lucy.
I like the style and how it mixes different techniques and elements. Good use of color and it's more visually appealing to me.

I noticed something strange about mine.. It looks diffrent on this computer I'm using compaired to the one I made it on. It looks like crap on this one. Fantastic! XD

Maybe its the difference of contrast on your monitor. Sometimes some of my stuff look different on other computers too.

My vote goes for Rach, because his is simple and his font matches the elegance of the piano. All the other ones are a little too "busy" in my eyes, plus I prefer simple banners or sigs. Or maybe I'm just biased, who knows?

I really like how artistic Vicky's is. it subtle, yet it just pops, and its very original. also I enjoy looking at it.

I chose Lucy's. Her banner is so unique and artistic. I really liked the color scheme and the layout. I also liked that it was more than one hobby.

OMGWTF I have been completely busy and could not find the time to get this stuff done. Popping up the new threads.
