the.ronin Posted March 9, 2006 Author Share Posted March 9, 2006 Wow, really cool entries so far, happy campers! I do want to point out an important aspect of this GDC which is stated here ... This GDC is freeform, meaning that you decide the format. Whether it be a wallpaper, a postcard, a user bar, a signature, it’s all entirely up to you. Veteran GDCers will know that the on topic score will determine how creatively you come up with a format. They’ll ponder how to maximize their utility score which reflects how well the entry lives up to the format. ← Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BornToKill Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 Like the flaming V Mordred. Your fonts need smoothing tho, looks like they're set to sharp, no aliasing try setting them to smooth.(i'm assuming your using photoshop) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 Entry > Idea comes from the fact Rico and his sigawards got me hooked on photoshop and desgin etc. Back in the day, i was using a combination of ms paint and powerpoint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the.ronin Posted March 13, 2006 Author Share Posted March 13, 2006 C'mon peoples, we've got some very clever entries so far but, as imaginative are many are, I would hardly consider this GDC in the bag!! Let's see watcha got, home-slice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the.ronin Posted March 13, 2006 Author Share Posted March 13, 2006 Its coz not many people know velocity( I did for a bit), so not many people can relate to it .. Just my opinion.. ← Totally fair observation, G-Man, and something the High Counsel of The GDC discussed in depth prior to launching IX ... Still, not too many people are intimately aware of really any of the subject matter of most design contests either yet they do manage to produce excellent entries - thus, actually knowing V should really be of no significance.
