Graphic Design Competition - Make a Magazine

[lolicjj]

... it has several problems.

The main was is that it is too busy. You have too many things happening for anything to stand out.

Suggestions:

1. Reduce the contrast and brighten the background so that it doesn't stand out so much.
2. Get rid of most of your text and just create a few article titles/ interesting headlines on the front. You have way too many right now.

Thanks for suggesting, I'm going to make another one now(and now for sure it can you read and not too much article)
Plus because I'm bad at graphic program, this cover i made only with paint. The headline still same, but now i won't use the elements again, but card picture. For the background, i think it will be still same (But Decreased Density to the lowest to make sure the text can be read)

What's the limit on pictures we can use from internet e.g. can we only use royalty free images or can we not even use them?

I checked with Dragoon1140 - we can ONLY use art we create ourselves or ingame art. Nothing from the internet, or from this forum that is not your OWN art.

Sorry for the late response, but Malduk is right.  Only in-game art and your own art is accepted, which is why the following are not legal submissions yet:



I am sorry that your submissions aren't legal yet, but the rules stated from the beginning that the images must be from the game or your own artwork.

that's good then was worried for a bit thinking that I could have gone for a different idea with other art. Asymmetry's will win though

It seems like not allowing people to use anything from the internet at all will put off a lot of people who would otherwise have competed, as it leaves them with very little to work with.

Maybe allow offsite art for the background.

The entire game of Elements can be used as art, so using your own art isn't the only option.  Limiting a person to not use random art from the internet isn't demanding all, especially for a competition.  I'm all for everybody competing and having a fun time, but following the rules, even if it is somehow limiting, should be a prerogative if those competing.

I'm not saying that it isn't important to follow the rules, I suppose I was just proposing a slight tweak that might allow more people to compete. Just my 2 cents.

OT: This is some great stuff. My compliments to whoever came up with the original idea.

That was fun.

Oh man this one just won as far as I am concerned.

I'll wait to see the rest of the entries, but I agree that it is very solid.

Nice job!
