IC7 - Graphically Inclined judging

[Amanda Kimmel]

GRADING RUBRIC:

Idea and execution - 20 points. Would your idea pique the curiosity of artisans? Did you stray towards the focus of your concept or off a beaten path?
Visual Appeal - 10 points. Is the end result an elegant masterpiece or the scribbles of a kindergartner attending his first art class?
Neatness - 5 points. Is the graphic presented in an organized manner that is aesthetically pleasing and holds recognition value, or is it a low-quality mishmash of blurry?
Relation to the theme - 5 points. Is your end result an accurate representation of the objective at hand? Does it portray the series in the correct light or a terrible darkness worthy of arm-severing?
Argument - 10 points. Are you arguing why you should win, or are you arguing why you shouldn't?



A note: Chelsea and Anthony each made an edit. If you saw theirs earlier, then you should probably look again.


Brenda should be posting hers in a few. Richard is excused. Penner needs to get his butt online to post something in an hour.


Let's get this going!

ANGIE:
Idea and execution - 0/20 - The idea here was to piss me off.
Visual Appeal - 0/10 - The colors don't match. The graphic looks like a cheaply done crapwork.
Neatness - 0/5 - Sloppily-added text on an image straight from Google. Couldn't be any more of a crap job.
Relation to the theme - 0/5 - What does "better than dying" have to do with ANYTHING?
Argument - 0/10 - She's arguing why she didn't put any effort in.
TOTAL: 0/50

Congratulations on getting a 0!


ANTHONY:
Idea and execution - 20/20 - A comic? Wonderful!
Visual Appeal - 5/10 - I don't even recognize myself... that's a problem. Parvati is even LESS recognizable. DD's caricature is easily the best.
Neatness - 5/5 - Illustrator does wonders.
Relation to the theme - 4/5 - I don't completely see this as an ad.
Argument - 5/10 - Doesn't do much for me.
TOTAL: 39/50



BRENDA:
Idea and execution - 14/20 - Good. Makes me look good, and stays true to what it's supposed to be.
Visual Appeal - 5/10 - Kind of cheap-looking. Especially with how my head is Photoshopped...
Neatness - 2/5 - The crop jobs aren't the best, but it at least looks decent!
Relation to the theme - 5/5 - It counts.
Argument - 6/10 - Add-on more than an argument to sell it. But I like it nonetheless.
TOTAL: 32/50


CHELSEA:
Idea and execution - 14/20 - Perhaps I'm being generous. But I do love simplicity, and I do love homages.
Visual Appeal - 7/10 - It's me. Not the most flattering picture, but I have my hat <3
Neatness - 3/5 - Text looks a little fuzzy, but it's otherwise okay.
Relation to the theme - 5/5 - I'm The Goddess, aren't I?
Argument - 8/10 - Definitely wins me over. Makes me feel awesome and warm and fuzzy. Not sure if that's when I found the HII... wasn't my hat backwards then? xD - I'll allow it
TOTAL: 37/50


COURTNEY:
Idea and execution - 12/20 - Not the most original, but it works somewhat. It doesn't deliver as well as it could.
Visual Appeal - 7/10 - It looks nice, but that URL at the bottom is kind of iffy.
Neatness - 3/5 - Image from Google, but the text is crisp and is a nice font.
Relation to the theme - 4/5 - Close enough.
Argument - 7/10 - Ad flavor text. It works, but isn't the most special.
TOTAL: 33/50


JEN:
Idea and execution - 12/20 - The idea is there, the execution isn't. Teaser poster for the first episode, yes. But this is a poorly-done comic that doesn't flow! I don't get the vibe she wants.
Visual Appeal - 2/10 - Sloppy. Doesn't look right.
Neatness - 1/5 - This was definitely done in Paint.
Relation to the theme - 4/5 - It works, but that is NOT my hat.
Argument - 3/10 - So... you're advertising something that DIDN'T happen...?
TOTAL: 22/50


SHAWNA:
Idea and execution - 13/20 - I like simple. The design here looks professional and stays true to its idea.
Visual Appeal - 8/10. Minimalist but really pretty. I LOVE the font.
Neatness - 5/5. Looks amazing for what it is.
Relation to the theme - 5/5. Nice postcard.
Argument - 8/10 - Good. Not the best ever, but it's good.


YAU-MAN:
Idea and execution - 14/20 - I'm not totally sure what the idea is here. The video is just too poorly-edited to tell what this "season 2" is supposed to even BE.
Visual Appeal - 5/10 - Half works, half doesn't. The video is choppy and cuts off, but the hat on the elephant is awesome and the graphics portions clearly took time.
Neatness - 3/5 - More docked points for the choppiness.
Relation to the theme - 4/5 - I'm not completely sure what it is, but it throws us all in there so...
Argument - 10/10 - He spent a lot of time on it. THE PARCHMENT!

I like the way Amanda is portrayed, but is way too spaced out and doesn't even look like an image, more like text, spaces, and pictures.

The video didn't flow well, but there was a thought-out argument.

[Erik Huffman]

I'm a little dissapointed with these... :/ Few people seemed to try and many of those that did still looked rushed...

[Tracy Hughes-Wolf]

I wasn't disappointed really. Not everyone is artistic, and they all did better than I probably would've done, well, except for Jenn & Angie lol But seriously, I think these attempts were pretty good.

I liked this, yes the splicing was a bit choppy, but it was good for an amatuer. I also didn't like your music choice only because I was expecting something more intense for Femme Fatales, but it wasn't horrible. Good job.

[Alex Angarita]

I just saw this and need to go to bed cus i hav an early morning and long day ahead. if we still need judging when i get back tomorrow around 6pm ish i can help, otherwise somebody else may do it.

[DDanielle Mason]

I wouldn't say I'm disappointed, either. Everyone has their strengths, and some actually did a really commendable job with this.

Also, Amanda, I am sorry that I didn't judge until right now. You wouldn't have wanted me judging anything last night. I was pretty bad!

I found this to be REALLY funny, in a good way. It made me want to give her points because she took it a little less seriously, but still did a good job with it. Not as good as Anthony's, but I'm a fan.

Eh, I didn't like this one very much. In terms of graphic appeal, it was a lot like Angie's. Just a picture with red text. I'm thinking she could have put a little more effort into this, since the picture is pretty blurry too. Love Chelsea, but not this.

I do think she was genuinely working on her argument. Her poster's not the best, but her argument was strong and she did an overall nice job.

Eh. He obviously worked hard on it, so I want to give him points, but it's hard to tell anything and doesn't hold a candle to past videos that were made. The editing is just too abrupt and sloppy. His argument is great though, and it's certainly a job well done.
