Boo Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 [center][size=5]Otaku[b]Boards[/b][/size] [size=10][FONT="Georgia"]Signature Of The Week[/size] [size=5]Voting | Week 003[/FONT][/size][/center] [size=1]This is the voting thread for [b]Week 003[/b], where all members of the OtakuBoards community are welcome and encouraged to join and vote for their favorite banner for the week. The theme for this week was [b]Back to School[/b], to issue what currently occupies probably the majority of the visitors of the site. Voting will be taking place until [color=red][b]Monday September 15, 2008[/b][/color] @ 11:59 PM PDT. The next SOTW contest will begin shortly after that date. [b]A few notes before voting[/b] [list][*]We encourage you to [strike]both vote in the poll [i]and[/i][/strike] reply with a post stating who you voted for and why. In the post you can let the participant know what you liked, didn't like and in the latter case, how they could improve. For further information, please read the [url=http://www.otakuboards.com/showthread.php?t=59385][i]Art Studio Basics[/i][/url] thread, on Constructive Criticism. [*]Remember, this is a banner contest. Therefor, [i]please do not vote for someone because you like the person so much[/i], but instead vote for someone because you like the banner over the other banners. [*]When voting, you're asked to also look at how well the banner fits the theme. In this case the theme is [b]Back to School[/b]. We have all been through this time of year plenty of times before. Summer was over, back to the real world. Can you relate the banner to how you felt in those first days of the schoolyear? [/list] Without further ado, here are the entries for this week's Signature of the Week![/size] [center][FONT="Georgia"][size=5]SOTW [COLOR="DimGray"]Entries[/COLOR][/size][/font] [size=1][b]Cat[/b] [img]http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c141/BillyIdolFan14/Backtoschool.jpg[/img] [url]http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c141/BillyIdolFan14/Backtoschool.jpg[/url] [b]jigglyness[/b] [IMG]http://i38.tinypic.com/sq1she.jpg[/IMG] [url]http://i38.tinypic.com/sq1she.jpg[/url] [b]Lrb[/b] [IMG]http://img185.imageshack.us/img185/164/backtoschooledited1ti8.jpg[/IMG] [url]http://img185.imageshack.us/img185/164/backtoschooledited1ti8.jpg[/url] [/size][/center] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaiyanPrincessX Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 [SIZE="1"]Sir Boo, I'd love to vote, but you seem to be lacking a poll. ;) Aha! September 15th happens to be my birthday. Pwn. I think I'll go with [b]Lrb[/b] on this one. I like the chalk on chalkboard idea, however I don't like the grass, it doesn't fit atall.[/SIZE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunfallE Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 [COLOR="RoyalBlue"][FONT="Lucida Sans Unicode"]I'll vote in the poll once it's added to the thread. :whoops: However, I'll go ahead and put my reasons as to why I chose [B]jigglyness[/B] I just think their banner captures the essence of returning to school the best. So that's who I vote for...[B] jigglyness[/B][/FONT][/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Persona Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 [COLOR="Red"][FONT="Comic Sans MS"][B]Jigglyness[/B] gets my vote. When I first looked at the banner, it simply pulled me right to day one in school. Pissed that summer was so short, tired, skipped breakfast and the lecture was boring. Erm, anyway....As stated above; The banner captured the majority of students who sleep on their desk for many reasons. The font was also a nice touch to the qoute (If that even made sense.). Also the banner seemed to give of a warm feeling from the colors. Maybe it's the brown from the hair and sweater. Overall, well done![/FONT][/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo Posted September 10, 2008 Author Share Posted September 10, 2008 [size=1]I will just pretend that I did this on purpose and I wanted people to post their votes (I can count like a monster) this time, until I see how to fix the poll. :][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horendithas Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 [COLOR="Indigo"]I'll be voting for [B]jigglyness[/B] as well. Overall I think their piece captures the theme the best. The colors and everything about it just go together really well. Plus, falling asleep in class just seems so perfect. I was not one to do that, but I remember seeing fellow classmates do it.

Desbreko Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 [color=#4B0082]I think only admins can add/edit polls so I went ahead and added one. The close time for it is a bit off since it only counts full days from when the poll is added, but whatever.[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rachmaninoff Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 I'm going to vote for [B]Cat[/B]. Their entry makes me think of a teacher who has reached that point of turning the mirror students see of themselves into a window where they see [I]beyond[/I] themselves. I don't know if that was their intent, but that's the impression I get from it. So I vote for [B]Cat[/B]. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allamorph Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 [FONT=Arial]Let's go, [B]jiggly[/B]! Yush. Although I did like the atmosphere of [COLOR="DarkRed"]Cat[/COLOR]'s, it feels like it's drawing too much on the "what education should be" card, like those commercials for universities, and the other two look better at the general feelings on the first day. And [COLOR="DarkRed"]jiggly[/COLOR] over [COLOR="DarkRed"]White[/COLOR] because I liked the smaller space, for some reason. Not really a quantifiable choice, there. <_<[/FONT] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabrina Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 [FONT="Tahoma"]I really like the atmosphere in [B]jigglyness[/B]'s piece since I can relate to it. It just really captures the feel and mood behind returning to school in my opinion. It also just has a nice feel to it and the colors are warm and inviting. So I vote for [B]jigglyness[/B]! :catgirl:[/FONT] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
