2011 Icon Review
Another year - time to look back on the year in icons and make fun of my worst and pat myself on the back for my best :D
First the stats:
Stargate Atlantis - 218
Supernatural - 206 (ooh - catching up!)
Doctor Who - 111
Fringe - 74
SG-1 - 64
Torchwood - 49
Blue Bloods - 48
Sherlock - 43
Haven - 32
Actors - 24
Others - 170
Total - 1035 down from 1602 last year and about half of 2009 at 2084
Last year - in case you want to know
I entered 311 contests. Newest fandoms are Blue Bloods, Haven and Sherlock.
Worst of the Year
Sometimes I just whip off icons to fill out contests that I know won't have enough entries. I have no pride and some of them are horrible! That's one excuse but I worked away at many of these and at the time I really thought some of these were OK. So sad. Of course, tacky holiday icons are excluded because - sputters - just because :D.
Poor Rodney. I can't crop him from the background well and then to add insult - I duplicate it!!! Poor Carson - never should have tried to remove background on this one either
Such a good looking guy and he is blurry and the text is horrible. I can do better than this - really! And, sorry Ben! Sorry blurry Joe!
There is nothing good about the first one. Blue because I couldn't get a color match, crappy font, no reason those images go together. Just bad! Second one is worse since color is bad and diagonal makes it worse.
Challenge was red and green so used an Obama poster maker application. Didn't work!
When experiments fail! Why don't I just delete the file and move on?
My Favorites
I like my icons or I wouldn't make them!
Best Color
Best Use of Textures/Light
Best Composition/Cropping
Yes, That's Me
You might have guessed that these are mine :D
Most Underappreciated
These are icons that were a bit tricky but no one comments on or seems to like. I do.
I wrote that stuff on the board - it wasn't there.
All 5 family members with good color.
Look at that light! Symbolism anyone?
Texture, contrast, light....?
The rest of the ones I really like and no one else does.
