In-Focus

http://vyemusic.com/CSS4/x00__thumbsUp.png

Signature of the Week is very much to do with the enthusiasm and desire to participate, have fun and perhaps win. In that sense, this week has certainly been a successful one holding no less than an incredible showcase of 22 entries - beating the AC Web record. As opposed to most weeks, with regards to AC Web's graphics abilities, I must say, this week has certainly shed some miraculous light into that which has been dark for very long. Signature of the Week has often for the last few months declined as if it were a sponge having its water twisted and ripped out of it. But we managed to soak it back up.

If you are wondering what the whole hype of beating the record was really about, it's to engage the entire community back into the Signature of the Week competitions so we no longer have to gaze at a selection of four or five entries each week. But now, if all is successful, we may start seeing ten or fifteen - a substantial increase to keep the competition booming with life.

Hope to see you at SotW 74!




CONGRATULATIONS!
We have beaten the record...

But, please still enter if you have not!
Now is the chance to extend the record.

Please check the Information Center to see if you are on the Expert list.
If you are not on the list and feel your taste in graphics is extraordinary or, at the very least, significant, you may contact me with three of your most prized artworks. To be an Expert in Signature of the Week is to only have the advantage of voting "+2" rather than "+1", and that only under the circumstance that you clearly explain your voting choice.

It is for many of you still early Saturday, so it might be a good idea to make a slight voting adjustment. Since there are 22 entries (with hopefully a few more to come), it might be good to also state your second choice. If you have opinions on that, let me know if you think it's a good idea (it would only be for weeks with 20+ entries).

Furthermore, as agreed, every participant earns +rep from me. Just be a little patient as I get through to all of you. Updates on Hall of Fame and Competition Profiles also only happen about once a week or more, so be patient with that too.

MAKE SURE YOU VOTE FOR THE GREATEST, MOST PROFESSIONAL, IMAGINATIVE AND INTRIGUING ENTRY.
THERE IS A LOT TO CHOOSE FROM, SO BE CAREFUL!

[Squeezee]

First Choice:
All the entry's were amazing, and I had a very hard time choosing, but the 3 That stood out to me and showed absolute talent where Entries #13, #14 and #17. I have to say that the ones that entered are on my listed of well respected members. But my vote has been decided and it will be given to #13, the reason why is because the effects in the signature are one of a kind, the creator didn't stop there, He/She went to extraordinary heights to make this a one of a kind entry and for that this entry has my vote.

Second Choice:
I looked over the rest of the entry's and I wanted to see which one had the most effects, but not just effects, I wanted to see which one had the most time pushed into it. After reading the ones that had Entered a Summary, It made it even harder to choose. I do have to say one thing, these are some hard choices and I will have to go and give me second choice to Entry #14. I love the flow and overall choice of the signature, not only did this person make the effects and colors blend perfectly, they combined talent, dedication, and time to make this.

Great Job Everyone.

I suggest some of you should consider editing your signatures if you still want to win (before there's too many votes).
Same goes for those who have yet to enter (remember, you can always extend the new record).

Also, who the fuck lead a God of War clan meeting for this week? :)
One of you changed your God of War entry, but it's interesting to see your pop culture greatly influencing the images you use.

Entry #2

[Phenom.GW]

First of all, congrats on beating the record!

My vote goes to entry #14 by Golferpro.
I'm a fan of many and bright colors and therefor the leafs in the bottom left corner is the greatest part of the whole entry. It has so many colors but it's not messy at all. Well done!

Also the text font and placement is just great if you ask me. You definitely see the text, but it doesn't stand out to much. This entry is definitely worth the first place.

If you still have your entry, send it over just so we can beat the record even more!

WE NEED MORE VOTES.
If we don't clearly distinguish a winner, I'm going to get a lot of hate mail.

Woops Unlimited, I pushed the send button too early.

Whoever did entry 14 i must say he did extremely well

[blachex12]

First : Entry 6
Second : Entry 14

[Azul-Reka]

I really like Entry #16

[24des]

Who got my vote?:
I'd like to say entry #14, but I cant find it very fantasy/abstract nor any fantasy warrior tbh. Many of these entries were pretty good, and many pretty bad. Alot of them didn't have any flow, focal point, colorscheme at all, properly cutout or didnt fit the theme very well.
Entry #9 GMW due to the great flow, beautiful colors, theme-fitting and its originality. Its not too creative, but it looks the best of these. Great job. (lightning could've been better though)

You'll get my vote this time, however lower the opacity of those sharp lines you added, they're ruining the flow of your signature right now.
