O matic

The text is either two small or just doesn't work. Some of the PSDs are cut funny or like the one in the bottom right austins head is cut off. Not a fan of the two random color ones thrown in their. The black dude escorting Austin is a bit random I had to look at it a few times to realize that's what was going on. The whole thing looks like more of a collage which may have worked if you didn't have the random bit of background.

JMac

Your text kinda sucks and it just feels like you didn't do much maybe a gradient or some sort of sylization to it.

 

[Doink]

I'm going John McHenry, some of the pics are weird cut and that pic of austin doing the elbow drop is oddly placed.

 

[IA-SteveB]

The first one is just way too busy and random. Too much imagery to be visually entertaining, really. I am not a fan of signatures or banners repeating the same person.

The McHenry one is basic and uninspired. I'd have to vote for this one since it is simpler, but it needs a lot more work.

I didn't have time to do anything this week threw this one together in five minutes and it shows.

 

[Defiant]

Both of them seem too complicated and not very easy on the eye. I'm voting for John McHenry's though since it has more structure.

 

[The_King]

Neither are the best I've seen from you, but nbd.
EOM: I like that you tried to pull off a very busy banner, but it unfortunately just came off too cluttered. If you cut one or two renders and choose more appropriate ones, this would've easily won. Font doesn't work, and the text is too small.
McHenry: Very simply. I like the rain-esque effect but not a fan of the ring effect (especially b/c it cuts off Hogan's face). Renders could definitely stand out more. Text is fine.

My vote goes to McHenry.

 

[Lewb]

I've never heard the Stunner be called an elbow drop...

Anyway, I've gone with John McHenry here, as it looks more like a finished product. Edgeomatics is too render based (Pot Calling Kettle Black i know) and stuff like Austins head is cut off on the gun image and such.

 

[Edgeomatic]

The black guy escorting austin was him being arrested the first time. I dont think i've gotten a single vote in this league yet, I think i'll give this league one more shot. I dont get a vote in my next match then I dont think i'll compete in another.

 

[Lewb]

Yo. As a graphic making rookie myself, I haven't had many votes. But if your improving thats the main thing, and I believe you are. There are very good gfx makers in this league so don't get disheartened.

 

[Derrick]

I agree with Lewb. Don't be disheartened. It's all okay, we all start somehow. I went to photoshop classes for like 3 years, started doing wrestling GFX over a year ago and I still have to step my game up, because I haven't done so yet.

And my vote goes to JMac, it's just.. less random and somehow.. prettier?

The battle is officially closed.
John McHenry (6) def. Edgeomatic (0).

And, EOM don't discouraged. We've all been the rookie who gets knocked around for a few weeks. You'll get better with time!
