Votes are marked with astericks.
*#1 Because I don't like the blank border around Meyrin picture, and the blank bar under the text which seems useless. Instead of the blank under the text you could have used something more decorative. It would have been better, even with the blank border.
*#1 - I like Meyrin's coloring, but I feel the icon design is a little too simple and that there's too much yellow. Also, I think that something more interesting could have been done to the text.
*#1: the icon just seems kind of plain. The border area is really pale and doesnt really match the brightness of the image. the image with the background is fine, but the border kind of ruins the effect. also, the green flowers confuse me a bit. they would have looked better in a brighter color that matched the icon.
01 : The flowery texture should've been a little more colorful or have reddish pattern to remind the hair of the character. Else it's perfect :3
*#1 - There's a bit of white space at the bottom that serves no purpose. It'd be better if you probably used some tiny text down there so it wouldn't look so empty. In addition, you could probably make the icon a bit brighter.
*1 The white stripe on the bottom of the icon seems to be a bit out of place. Maybe if you have added another one on the top, the icon would have looked better. With only one stripe, it doesn't look well balanced. The green of the stripes behind Meyrin and the green of the stars at the right kind of clash together. I think it would have been better if you use the same green.
01 - the white border around meyrin is nice, but the white bar at the bottom of the icon seems a bit too thick
2: Beautiful, it's my favorite, the only thing I feel bad with this icon is that it seems too loaded. According to me it's because of the 3 images + various patterns.
#2 - I'm not really sure what to say because I like it alot, but maybe you could have focused on one box more. Right now, my eye is a little confused were to look. Other than that, it's beautiful~
*#02 because the picture on the upper right is distracting me from the whole icon, maybe because it was resize and the picture to the lower right wasn't. You should've crop another part of the main picture and keeping the same resolution or resizing the picture to the lower right as the other one. And the font seems a little plain comparing to the image, it should've be a little more colorful, for example you could pick the color from the most orangy part of the scarf for "smiling". :)
#2: I like the icon, but it is a bit busy. It just takes a minute to really focus on the icon and take it in, but I do like it.
#2 - Nice design and concept. Perhaps you could add some more light textures or something like that.
*#2 because in comparison to #1, it's too repetitive and bland. Both icons are fantastic but #1 is better IMO
2 I really like the cropping of the icon. Maybe you should have change a bit the color of her scarf, which is bit too orangish... or use the same orange color for the "smiling" word.
*02 - the icon seems rather jam-packed and busy to the point that it's distracting - also, the text seems awkwardly placed and squeezed in, try redoing some of the cropping
So that concludes session 3 of Last Icon Maker Standing!!! I'll probably start Session 4 within the next several weeks, and I hope to either start it the week of June 12th or so, or else the beginning of July, since before then is really busy with stuff, and i'll probably be in London later on. So look for the next sign-up post!
