Congratulations to the winner and to the honorable mentions as well.
Congratulations to the winner and HMs..
I’ve realized that its not so hard to get maximum votes.. just take the newest pic of Emma and put the calendar on it.. instead of all the creative hard-work that I do — stupid me..!! I guess its the latest pic that matters.. not the creativity or the design..
btw, I mean no offense to anyone.. I’m just cursing myself for putting my time and hard-work into this thing.. 🙁
Jia, I don’t think that it’s the latest pic that matters. I Think it depends on the “mood” of the people that vote. I mean I won Two times and the first time it was in 2009 and I put a lot work in it and the 2nd time was last year and It was the simplest one that i entered. I think it really depends on people and how they feel at the time of voting. By the way I love your calendars !
Oh don’t be sad we all know that you are one of the best designers… The photo of Kathy’s calendar is very suitable for making calendars and she used the theme very good to make a simple beautiful calendar… take it easy 😉
Jia it’s not the latest pic that matters. Many ppl do vote for creativity. I voted for Kathy b/c that was the one I thought stood out the most. I liked other calendars too. It’s not hard to tell that Kathy did something creative with the pic of Emma. The lighting of the pic is done so perfectly that it looks really professional. It looks like an actual Calendar IMO. I voted for other ppl as well b/c theirs were also really creative. Congrats Kathy & everyone else! Thnx for voting for my calendar too! =]
thankyou everyone.. and i’m really sorry if i offend anyone.. i was just disappointed with myself..
i’m sure the winner and HMs are well deserved.. sorry again..
First of all, thanks for the comments everyone 🙂
And now a blurub about graphic design…
The ability to create outstanding calendars comes with time and practise, just like anything.
Jia is right. I definitely think using the newest or rarest picture in your calendar gives you an edge. It means people have had less time to get bored of it. It’s fresh and more interesting.
Besides choosing a good image, you need to have a strong “vision” or “idea”. Even that is not enough – how useful is a good vision if it is executed poorly? You might be able to picture the greatest calendar in your head, but not have the experience or ability needed to make it like you visualized it on your computer. That’s where time and practise come in.
What Marie and Window said are completely true, and sometimes it is about luck. Art is highly subjective and people’s feelings and opinions about them vary from person to person. You will never be able to create a calendar that everyone loves or everyone hates.
Moral of the story – practise, practise, practise! Even if you don’t win you still get a lot of experience which will help in the long run. And don’t use Microsoft Paint, because the things you can make on it are VERY, VERY limited compared to multifunctional software like Photoshop or its free alternative, GIMP.
thanks for your support Kathy.. and I’m extremely sorry if I said anything offensive.. I was just disappointed with myself, thats all.. I really didn’t mean any hard feelings against anyone here..
and yes, I always use Photoshop.. do my graphics look like they’re made in MS Paint..?! 😮
Well it was the best calendar :D!
