the.ronin Posted November 3, 2005 Author Share Posted November 3, 2005 From Gooseman’s risqué ode to soldier-ala-cig to SteelHack’s mad photoshoping skillz of Bruce and The Rock as Ghosts (look closely at the tattoo and stubble) to a couple welcomed new members joining just to partake in the GDC design gauntlet ... this was undoubtedly a GDC to behold! Spoondle’s entry earned the highest marks for its representation of a movie poster, design complexity, and that holy grail of GDCs ... Design Bling® ... But lo and behold, the speed criteria has, once again, reared its ugly head or graced the winner with its presence, depending on if your name rhymes with ‘warts.’ Congratulations, swartsz! Your entry was top notch in terms of conveying the subtle ferocity that is the absolute tip of the doksum’s tail otherwise known as the Ghosts. It took to heart the concept of "swiftly, silently, and invisibly" ... I don't mean just as a tagline. But your true saving grace was your friend, and not Spoondle’s ... speed. Having been entered more than a week later taxed the Spoondlemeister’s overall score out of contention ... now that’s gonna leave a mark!! In the end, Highlander, there can be only one. Brace yourself, young padawan, for the next GDC will have an expedited deadline of only one week ... in honor of those who fight, so that others may live ... May the swartsz be with you!!

halo_jones Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 No way Ronin! its good, and has some nice bling bout it too ... as well as looking commecially viable ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the.ronin Posted November 4, 2005 Author Share Posted November 4, 2005 Thanks, halo ... I was really going for the stealth concept, brain over brawn concept. I was also trying to incorporate some post-cold war flashpoint elements based on the quote for GDC II. And this is what I came up with. I seem to be having the same problem NYR had with his entry ... on my computer at home, it is a LOT brighter and you can make out the bottom portion much better than I can on my work computer. [EDIT] Ok, I just brightened it up a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BornToKill Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 Halo noticed it too I know what you mean about the brightness problem tho, i work on 2 LCD flat screen, they often make your work appear brighter than it really is.(not to mention that both mine are setup exactly the same with same colour profiles... and yet the one is darker than the other). My only suggestion on your's Ronin would be to soften the 'GHOST RECON' title.Other than that its cool dude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halo_jones Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 yup flat screen LCD to CRT can be a nightmare, i go Ibook to PC n CRT but dont even mention trying to colour profile em OMG thats way to techy for a fashionista...lol Thanks "Serellan" for the comments too ... Ps Im not far from sidmouth "Born to kill" just short of sunny! Torquay is where i have my Batcave ..lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

le Tigre Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 I hope you done mind ronin, But I did a 30 sec alteration for my own intrest to your posteer, thought Id share, I just fixed the washed outness (unless that what you wanted) Thought you might be intrested.

the.ronin Posted November 9, 2005 Author Share Posted November 9, 2005 Very nice! I kind of liked the washed-outness ... it was just the brightness issues that annoyed me. I like your rework, nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
