Round 5 :: POSTSECRET
Kyuuchan
Previously Kagome_Kitsune
Veenilla
HoverCrab
Sminkle is a Parasite
Nothing from Mintea Drops, unfortunately.
And now we're down to five. Sher!ock's Judging ::
--Kyuu
Theme: 22/25
Wow Factor: 19/20
Creativity: 14/15
Quality: 9/10
Camwhorishness: 10/10
Total: 74/80
--I really like this one. The secret seems real, the text is nice, and the fireworks are pretty without being too distracting. The focus is still on you. My only complaint might be that it's a bit dark. I guess it has to be to see the fireworks, though. Overall, great job, I say.
--Kagome
Theme: 16/25
Wow Factor: 12/20
Creativity: 10/15
Quality: 8/10
Camwhorishness: 8/10
Total: 54/80
--I find your clothes distracting. Are you supposed to be kissing the tree? I think a better way to have done this would be to sit in a desk or chair like a little girl looking embarrassed. I don't like the sad face or the !12! in the text because they're silly and this doesn't look silly as a photo. You are the focus, but it doesn't look quite camwhorish exactly. I don't really like this one.
--Veenilla
Theme: 18/25
Wow Factor: 10/20
Creativity: 7/15
Quality: 5/10
Camwhorishness: 6/10
Total: 46/80
--Poor quality, I'm sure you know. I'd excuse it for the background, since I don't wanna pay attention to that anyway, but I really wish you could be clearer. The text doesn't look good to me. It's hard to read in some spots, too. The secret seems very real, though, and I can see how the picture fits in. Not camwhorish, though.
--Hover
Theme: 25/25
Wow Factor: 20/20
Creativity: 14/15
Quality: 9/10
Camwhorishness: 8/10
Total: 76/80
--Scandalous! This really does look like something I'd find on PostSecret. I like that the apple is the only thing in color, though that does mean it distracts from you. It's still neat, though. The tape thing was a great idea. Looks more hand-made that way, like a real PostSecret secret would be. I can't tell where you are, though. Your face is intriguing, but your eyes lack emotion. Maybe a suggestive look or something to hint what you mean? Overall, I really like this one.
--Sminkle
Theme: 17/25
Wow Factor: 8/20
Creativity: 7/15
Quality: 9/10
Camwhorishness: 9/10
Total: 50/80
--Can't you do both? The secret kind of confuses me, though I know what you meant. Just could've been worded better, I guess. The photo thing is neat the first time, but now it's just kinda old. The photo itself is boring, too. Definitely could've been more creative. I feel like this is just mediocre. The quality's fine, though, and the picture seems to match the secret.Armic's Judging ::
--Kyuu
Theme: 23/25
Wow Factor: 16/20
Creativity: 12/15
Quality: 6/10
Camwhorishness: 9/10
Total: 66/80
-- It's a little too expected of a post-secret entry and at the same time it kinda lacks the 'rawness' with it being a little overworked. The fireworks effect could have had more impact if used scarcely in the corners leaving some open space. That said it's convincing.
--Kagome
Theme: 19/25
Wow Factor: 13/20
Creativity: 13/15
Quality: 7/10
Camwhorishness: 7/10
Total: 59/80
-- I think there was a little too much going on with the quote that it clutters the image. I know how difficult it is dealing with typography and striking the right balance. It's the sort of situation where less is more. That said, I can't say anything negative about the image, I actually like the outfit you are wearing and that you are day dreaming, being one with nature reminiscing.
--Veenilla
Theme: 21/25
Wow Factor: 16/20
Creativity: 12/15
Quality: 7/10
Camwhorishness: 8/10
Total: 64/80
-- At first I found the blur and image to not really link to the quote. But I was thinking too literal that it was solely about beauty. But now that I look at it more I like how it shows the loneliness about wanting to be in the spotlight. The problem is not really with the image but that the typography lacks the wow factor, fragmenting and playing with the text on the page would have given it that extra bit of drama.
--Hover
Theme: 25/25
Wow Factor: 19/20
Creativity: 15/15
Quality: 9/10
Camwhorishness: 8/10
Total: 76/80
-- I love the effort you put into this, it has all the style of a post-secret image. It's probably a little too heavy on the tape but the overall design makes up for that. The apple is a nice finishing touch to the image. I don't have to read the quote to get the emotion.
--Sminkle
Theme: 18/25
Wow Factor:10/20
Creativity: 12/15
Quality: 6/10
Camwhorishness: 8/10
Total: 54/80
-- You picked a very unflattering angle but I like how it adds to the shot. It's probably a tad too small and lacks a little drama. I get the emotion and feeling, just the connection between image and text needed to be a little stronger. I'm not so sure the snapshot effect helps.

.::  ::. ::Kyuu::
I like the effect you make with the mirror.
It's exactly what your message says, from the first person pov.
Though the image quality seems downgraded, the picture works as a whole. *nod*
: razz KK::
My picture story actually happened in 6th grade, right before a storm hit the city, I think.
I have that memory etched in my mind.
Though I had like, two pages full of secrets; I chose this redface .
Besides I wanted to go outside and take a picture with nature for once. sheesh. lol
::Veenilla::
Once again your pic looks super cool to me.
It does remind me of cards from any post secret book.
I love the blurry feel which in other rounds would've been fatal.
Very nice picture, though It could be more elaborate towards its message.
::Amy::
I knew from the beginning you would use your crafty methods; you kinda gave it away in one post weeks ago.
You pulled it off marvelously. Great photo.
To me, It would've been more fun if the location was an actual classroom.. but the pic can be interpreted in different ways,
I take it you are in your bed? And you could be thinking about another student..
or the teacher himself, which is what I thought. Naughty naughty! |D
::Sminkle::
For it being a last minute photo... You did pretty good.
I wish your picture was in a different setting, more informative.
I love the message, I thought about it for a while. *shifty eyes* My perspective right now is-
"I'd rather eat everything on the table than throw it away, to waste,
When families in this world can't afford to have even one third of what's on my table."
But I get your message even if it isn't what I've said throughout this. lol *smile*
I dunno who gets my vote yet. I love the pictures in a special way this round. <3

I have to vote for HoverCrab b/c it looks amazing,
like something that would be published in a magazine.
But I do find them all interesting and Kyuuchan's is my 2nd fav.

Whut?!
It's not that great, I was really determined to keep the handcrafted aspect to the piece. So my photo was printed and then had masking tape applied and the rest before being scanned.
I'm proud of it, and I'm growing to like the messy aspect to it - apparently it's more post secrety. lol
But thanks so much Hattey!
heart
@ Previously - it's a teacher. Not a student.
I would have got a classroom - I could have easily but I wasn't at school and Universities aren't as school looking and harder to get away with. D:
But yeah I'm on my bed.
My crafty methods?! lol
It took me longer to get the right pic - much to the dismay of my boyfriend who I had just got home to visit for the weekend. >_>
But thankyou. <3

Oh wow, these are great!
=]
I'm going to have to vote for HoverCrab
cause it looks like a real Post Secret, and an amazing one at that!
and Thanks guys <3
glad that I'm was at least in the run for a vote! lol
@PKK: thank you very much!
and yeahh the quality was lost when I added in the fireworks, but I liked it because it had a blurry effect to it, so it's kinda more anonymous.

Do you { know } what it's all about
Are you brave enough to { figure } out Kyuuchan
Yours is really sweet, and it holds that anonymity thing with still being a camwhore at the same time. I like it a lot!
PKK
I connected with this one because it is something that I do, thank goodness for friends that are just as weird as I am haha. I think it is very important to feel a connection with the picture, especially for a Post Secret round, because that is what PS is all about to me. Seeing you're not the only one out there with a secret, ya know? I kind of wish your picture related a bit more to the text though, you kinda looked like you were thinking not doing something silly.
Veenilla
I love the pose in this, you look offstandish and posy, which so fits with the secret you used. Also the sunglasses keep a bit of anonymity, as well as the blurred picture.
HoverCrab
Wow, your pictures never cease to amaze me. You are freaking gorgeous! I love this one, and I love the effort you put into doing it by printing it, putting the tape on, and scanning it in. Your secret made me giggle a bit too. Very well done!
Sminkle
Glad to see you could get your picture in! Pretty nice for last minute, you really like using that photo type background thing, hmm? It gets a little old though in my opinion. I kind of wish you had like a scale in the photo for losing weight, ya know?
Well, my vote goes to Amy, HoverCrab.
Her photo is my absolute favorite, but it was a def toss up between her and PKKs photo.
Good luck everyone, I really wish I could have participated in this round. Know that { you } could set your world on fire
If you are strong enough to { leave } your doubts
