[The_King]

Both guys sent me their entries mistakenly earlier, so I thought I might as well put up the battle haha.

Prodigy's Entry

[John McHenry]

Prod has more words. very close to what I did I guess.

 

[The_King]

^Is that a vote for Prod?

Anyways, I'll vote Prodigy. Less dead space and cooler text haha

 

[Andrew]

LOL That is hilarious.

I'm going Derrick, it's one sentence and straight to the point.

I'd seriously go a draw here though.

 

[Prodigy]

Sorry for the half hearted effort, I had no inspiration for this weeks task whatsoever lol.

 

[Chriss]

I vote for Prodigy. Derricks is too simple.

 

[Heisenberg]

I vote for Prodigy. They're both pretty basic and simple. Derricks gets straight to the point but it's just too simple for my liking.

 

[Derrick]

LOL we both knew what we were sending in, we kinda even planned to do pretty much the same thing, and I would've done it better if I knew Prod would go less simple. But yeah, to be honest, my one is shitty, done in Paint lol.

 

[Edgeomatic]

I withold my vote, this is horseshit.

 

[BDC]

I withold my vote, this is horseshit.

Yes it is, but it's funny...goes to Prodg...but just barely! lol!

 

[The_King]

I withold my vote, this is horseshit.

Eh, I think it was smart. It's better to submit text on a plain background than no show. At least with that, you have a chance at winning, and if either faced a real entry, they would've been destroyed so there are risks.

 

[Prodigy]

I withold my vote, this is horseshit.

Big deal, me and Derrick had a little bit of a joke, I'm sure you'll live. I'd rather at least submit an entry then do another no show considering I've done 2 already.

 

[Defiant]

So both guys went for comedy and had the same joke

Sooo this is difficult for me. As a GFX designer I'm more inclined to vote for Prodigy for his work's polish and command of attention. Whereas the comedian in me wants to vote for Derrick who pretty much captured it all in just the punchline.

I'll vote for Derrick, on the basis that this seems to be more of a battle of ideas than graphics.

 

[Doink]

I'm going Prodigy here.

The battle is now closed.
