Welcome to Round Three: Global Warming PSA

the photoshoot the models do, too. xd

Like always, cast your vote on your post.
Voting ends on Friday by midnight PST.

Good Luck.
This round we had one non-entrie

Meili Cakes


I've given enough second chances. She will be the only elimination this round.

PD

Twilima - Oh wow! Your entry looks so professional, like something I would find in a magazine. The colours are really nice. I love how you're frying an egg outside too. It makes me kind of hungry.
I also like the font you used. However, I think that the picture is a tad too washed out and light. And I don't really understand the message icon_sweatdrop.gif

go go glam - Omg were you really in a recycling bin?! I don't think I would ever be able to do that haha. I really like the concept and the colours. The green is so fresh and really adds to the whole recycling idea. And I think that your pose is perfect. It goes wonderfully with your message.

LOAD3D NiNJA - I liked the concept behind yours one too. The kind of sandy desert vs. the grass was a really good idea. The only things that I didn't really like was the fact that the pictures were blurry and both pictures weren't the same size.

Hattey - LOL! I love this one. The colours are catchy and I love the superhero idea. The font that you used is really neat. However, I think it would have been better if you were holding a real recycling sign or a recycling bin. And maybe a cape... icon_wink.gif

Lady Glompage - Genial idea. It's funny because before I saw you ad, I was telling my parents that we should use material bags instead of plastic bags when we go shopping. The colours are so vibrant and fun. I really like the pose and how you're holding a shovel. I really like the message and the font style you used. This looks like it could be in a magazine ad too.

Rainbow Banana Trees: You are too cute. If my garbage bags looked like that, I'd probably cuddle them instead of filling them with garbage icon_whee.gif One thing that bugs me though: Where did your legs go?! xDDD I really liked the overall idea of this. It makes me go "awwww" and want to recycle. It amused me that you were dressed as a garbage bag and had the bottle in your mouth. The only thing that I don't really like is the font size/colour you used.

ScaredCrow Riots - So this is probably a really weird thing to say but I really like the wallpaper in the background. I like the different sized fonts you used and how you included an email; I found those made the ad seem more legit and realistic. I think that the concept with the flame was a neat idea but I'm not sure if I really like the globe you used... I don't know if this was intentional, but the way your head is tilted and you're not really looking at the flame, it kind of shows that people are careless with the way they're treating the environment.

Eruvanda - Oh gosh. I'm getting so sick of the snow. It's April and it's still snowing! wtf kdsjhfsjkjshfd. Anyways, back on topic. I like your message and your pose. I think that the picture is a bit dark and you could have worn a really huge winter jacket or something to really get the point across.

Porcelain Hearts - I think that your entry is pretty. I like how you used dead flowers and the use of lighting makes the picture seem really warm; almost as if the background was on fire! The Stop Global Warming sign at the bottom is neat. However, I find that you could have elaborated your message and maybe tell people how to stop or what the consequences are, because I didn't feel as if your message really went with the picture.

Blackmager - Your entry made me have to take a double look. I was like "lol wut?!" Brilliant idea. I love how the globe is on the grill haha. I don't get what the other things on the grill are though. I like the font/shadow effect you used too. The one thing that I would fix about this is that you should be standing. I don't think that anyone really barbecues sitting down icon_rofl.gif Well, at least my dad doesn't haha

Fredrick-Fuzzball - This is such a cool idea (not just because ice cream is my favourite food dramallama ). I like how you represented the world getting eaten/used up. However, I think that it would have been better if you were standing outside or around some plants to give it a more "environmental" feel to it.

JessieBaby` - My first impression when I saw your entry was "Ooo la la". Your message is genial. I think that your picture goes well with your theme but like I said to Twilima, it's a bit too washed out and light. I think that it would have been better if you really brought out the trees in the background.


Voting for this round was a REALLY hard choice icon_sad.gif
My top 5 picks are: go go glam, Lady Glompage, Rainbow Banana Trees, Blackmager, and Twilima.
My vote goes to Lady Glompage

Oooooooooohhhh!!!!!!!

Awesome!!!!!


[insert critique...later]


EDIT:

Twilima - I love this picture. The lighting, the text, everything is great.

go go glam - It was alright. It was a bit busy I think. With the globe and the recycling and the bag dress, there was just a lot going on.

LOAD3D NiNJA - It's a neat idea, but it looks like you rushed it.

Hattey - Loooooove this pic. The idea is fabulous, i just wish you had some kind of expression on your face. You don't look very excited about recycling.

Lady Glompage - Super awesome. It looks like you're conquering the dump.

Alex - Love it! I laughed hard while I was shooting that, your idea was really cute.

ScaredCrow Riots - The idea isn't that original, but I like it. Contrary to what others have said, i like the little smirk on your face. "Haha, I'm burning up your planet...Take that!"

Porcelain Hearts - It doesn't really seem like a global warming PSA. If it weren't for the small banner at the bottom, I wouldn't know that it was.

Blackmager - It's cute, but the shopping is really obvious and the idea is not that original. A globe, being warmed. I do like the twist on the warm globe though.

Fredrick-Fuzzball - The idea was really awesome. It's very simple and draws your attention to the few things in the picture that are important. The ice cream and the text. There isn't much else to distract from them.

JessieBaby` - I like that you toned down the shopping this week. And the slogan that you picked works really well with the theme.

So basically I'm in love with Twilima's entry.

rolleyes heart
(Like, seriously.)

Well, I'm voting for Hattey.
Hers just made me laugh so much, and it's creative. XD
Did you get your idea from Captain Planet? That's what it reminds me of.

Twilima: I LOVE this picture. It's a definite improvement from the last round. Last round you were one of my least favorites, but this one you are one of my top choices. I love how you're cooking the egg all eco-friendly and it also shows that it's very hot out. Your pose and background is great and I love the sun glaring down at you. I don't get why you mentioned multitasking though.

go go glam: I love how you have the earth in your hand and it's above a recycling box. The background is great and goes with the theme perfectly. Also, are you wearing a trash bag? O__o it looks like you are, and if so, that's awesome. I love how the black dot at the corner of your eye looks like a tear as if you're crying for the earth. I also agree with Njord-kun, your hair does look like the sun for the earth. You are one of my favorite contestants. =] so far you've gotten great pictures for each round. The hand on the shoulder looks a bit awkward to me though, but that's just me nit picking.

L0AD3D NiNJA: Much better picture than last round. I like it's split down the middle and shows the dirt and the grass and the text shows the theme effectively. This picture gives you options and makes you think about it. I didn't like how the picture was blurry though, and the two sides didn't exactly match up to each other.

Hattey: XD This picture made me laugh. The idea is great and it definitely makes someone remember it. Like someone before me mentioned, it's like captain planet! I love the background and how it matched you outfit, and the text it just like something you would find in a magazine. It's really easy to tell that you colored in the mask though because there's this white spot in the blue, but that's just me being nit picking just like I was with go go glam XD

Lady Glompage: This is a FABULOUS shot! Something that you would find in a real magazine. I love the pose, the background, the bag in your hand, and the easy way to help prevent global warming. You're facial expression is great. It looks like "AHAHA VICTORY!" and goes great with the picture. I don't think I have a bad thing to say about this picture. You are another one of my favorite in this contest. =] great pictures every round!

Rainbow Banana Trees: XD Another funny picture. This is really a step up from the last round, where as last round was a bit boring and not very memorable, this one I will remember. Text is great, shows the theme very well. Your face doesn't really look angry though. It's a bit like a bad actor trying to be angry and it looks a bit sad instead.

ScaredCrow Riots: This looks like something that can be in a magazine. I love the text and how you added in the website, very ad-ish. I like the worn out earth you used. It looks tired, beaten, and about ready to die. The flame could be the last straw, and it makes a person want to act and try to prevent global warming. I don't like your expression though and the idea was a bit cliche. The picture is a bit dull too.

Eruvanda: Much much MUCH better than the last two rounds. I can understand this picture because it's happening where I'm living. We have extreme weather. Snow one day and bright sun the next. I like the dark and dreary atmosphere of this picture, and your yellow hoody looks like it's the sun trying desperately to stop it all. The text is exactly like it would be in a magazine, and I love how you added in the website. The rain looks a bit too photoshopped, but again, that's me being nit picky. I'm doing a lot of that tonight. XD you can't really help there not being rain.

Porcelain Hearts: The dead flowers was a nice touch, and this idea could have probably been expanded, but I didn't really like this picture at all. It didn't really show the theme except for the text at the bottom. The picture is boring and there's nothing really special about it.

Blackmager: Very original idea! Using the grill as a symbol for the sun was nice, and the background doesn't distract. it's a nice picture, but it doesn't really pop at me either. You aren't really a focus, but for this theme, that's alright since the focus is the earth. I liked the picture, not really love it, but the idea behind it is great!

Fredrick-Fuzzball: I love your idea, very original and very cute. I like how you look like you don't even notice what is happening, and that' exactly what it's like in real life, just as someone mention before. For your pictures, simple is always more, and I love that about your pictures. Everything else besides the earth cone in the picture is a bit dull though, and if I was looking through a magazine, I would've given it a glance and continued on because the picture as a whole doesn't pop. Looking at it now, it does. You have to be another one of my favorites. You work hard for your pictures, and they turn out great each round.

Lady Glompage gets my vote for this round. There's nothing bad about the picture I can see, not even something I can nit pick at XD

Twilima was a very close second though.
