Get voting. :]
 
well, Chanuka doesn't really fall under the category of Christmas, since it's a different holiday altogether. I would apreciate if you didn't accosiate two different things together. But, I'm still doing a chanuka one.
 
I like entry 2 best ^^, It got caught by my eye. I haven't seena real life sig in a very long time. Maybe it could be a bit thinner and not so wide. Having a Reflected looking image yet and completly different position is a nice and simple effect that. Nothing is to complicated. the sloping text kinda bothers me >.< Maybe keep it horizontal and rotate it 90 degrees so it on it side. having it diagonal I find breaks the whole flow.
 
Sins of a Fighter and Yuri Volte Hyuga, I'm sorry, but you both have a verbal warning for spamming. If you continue to discuss SotW in this thread, I'll have to give you an infraction. This thread is for voting only. If you want to discuss SotW, then head right into the relevant thread. Thank you.
 
Sephire, why isn't mine up there? That took time and effort from me, and I don't find it fair for me to be excluded.
 
I'm really sorry Gaaramaster. I'm not excluding you at all! I completely missed it in my PM box :( Honestly, a lot has been on my mind lately. I'll edit my first post with yours, and members have the chance to recast their vote.

Take another look at the entries members, a new one is there/

Once again Gaaramaster, I apologize :S
 
Lol, mines the only one without a girl dressed like santa on it. So I vote for mine.
 
For me it was a toss between 1, 2, and 4.

Entry 1 is very coordinated with colour. The texture is a nice touch, like a Christmas tree almost. The image is supported, and has the best text of all the entries. I rather do like the tree as well. Downfalls, I think, is the pink, ha - I'm just not a fan of the colour, and maybe the space could be utilized more efficiently.

Entry 2 has an overall good graphic composition. The right side looks brilliant. The left side however, rubs me the wrong way. The two snow specks on her face don't contribute to anything good, and I'm not a fan of the stars/splotches. Perhaps the border could be less of a bold red.

Entry 4 I like for its abstract approach. Placement of the dradle(sp?) was good, but I fear it's not cropped too well. Effects add interest around the toy, but it gets sloppy away from there. The semitransparent gray inserts an awkward, almost depressive feeling - heavily contradictory to the theme of what's thought to be a joyful holiday.

Entry 3 looks quickly made, no blending whatsoever, and "pixelful" around the edges and within the background. Text is quite hard to see, especially "Christmas."

My vote goes to 1, as it's the best graphically made and best suits the theme.

Good work to all.
