Mugsy_: I think it might help (or make things worse) if I shared my
personal opinion about the things I like about each of the final
pieces.
Animated:
Big Soke - that animated particle effect is great, using the tank to frame the space the text World of Tanks will occupy when the animation resets was a great design solution
Redivan - the color contrast, the movement, the WG icon rotating around vote are all great looking
Tea – love the tv, love the glass shatter transition to the footage, like the contrast between the blue and brown/tan
Jellyknife – love the banners dropping and rising, love the detail of the tank hitting the rock, very creative
Master Tactics – extremely polished result, the font and white industrial clip art were a perfect fit, perfect pacing that slows at the end to reveal the joystick awards logo. Granted, he used the existing video resources, but he used them masterfully. Pun intended.
Static:
KnightTiger – great composition, lots of information delivered very effectively, looks great
Sypherium – I like that shiny, candy like vote button, like the WoT emblem behind the logo, liked the Roll Out… font which is something submission struggled with
VicariousVision – it is similar to Sypherium’s but they both discovered a composition that works well. Vicarious’ take was able to offer larger text which I also think is great
Dragore – I like the subtle customizable feature, I love the way the eye sweeps from top left to bottom right, I really like the hews in the image (feels like an autumn battle)
Cardonaa – movement. This piece has tons of motion, I love the focused placement of the info, and I think the Roll Out… font was a cool, not-obvious choice
As I said, art is subjective and personal. Most things creative are. So I wouldn’t want to say something is good or bad – and some of you are taking this pretty hard, I just wanted to articulate the positive and unique things I see in the finalists.
I am off to make sure those Clans behave themselves. Enjoy the contest. I am excited to see what you guys offer up next time. Maybe we can have you guys design my sig. Enjoy the boards, enjoy the game.
