Interesting theme, though. I'll have to IMDB to see what movies are playing currently.

Do you guys judge on basic aesthetics, or srs photoshop skillz?

**Raven** · 03-30-2008

When I vote, I base my vote on creativity, typography, coloration, and integration of the foreground with the background (the last one is essential), basically how well everything blends together. The better something flows together the more natural it is and vice versa. This is crucial with art as when something stands out too much it never seems to be a good thing unless it's intended.

**Teecee** · 03-30-2008

I vote on which entries appeal to me most. Simple.

What Teecee said.

The way voting works here, anyone at all can vote and asides from not favouring friends, voting against people you don't like, there aren't exactly any rules, and even those are pretty much unspoken rules.

There's no specific rating system so it's basically a "to each their own reasons" situation. I've only voted once, and I explained my picks, which one one else did. Basically, just make what you can, and do your all to make it look good. I mean, a lot of times people who know how to use photoshop well will often make something that looks better, so the two are kind of connected. At the same time, if you take a really aesthetically pleasing picture, and add just add text it might not be received too well by everyone.

Sorry for the double, but I've got to ask, is anyone else going to participate this week, because if so I'll try to make something, otherwise i'm not going to bother.

**Amerowolf** · 04-06-2008

I'm working on getting around to it, but...maybe I won't I don't know.

**Teecee** · 04-06-2008

I'll get an entry in. We need to start spacing these out more anyway. Members don't generally swing by here as often as we'd like.

I'll have one later tonight.

**Vivi** · 04-06-2008

<_<; Uh oh. TeeCee and Amero might be in on it.

Hopefully you guys will choose some good movies.

**Teecee** · 04-07-2008

Horton Hears a Who! is calling my name. D:

**Amerowolf** · 04-07-2008

Got my entry up. I'm not...terribly happy with it, but it's an entry. (I've been in no mood to put my heart into anything much less graphics.)

**Teecee** · 04-07-2008

My entry is up. I went with The Bank Job, though. Sorry, Horton.

**Raven** · 04-07-2008

Hey Teecee, is it OK to use Ironman? (forgive me for being too lazy to lok >_>)
