When I thought of the topic I was looking for a definition of Rapflava as a community and a website. It could be rap related, and it could be something else. It depends on how the person interprets the phrase "The Movement." I was surprised at how well everybody captured that concept..
To the vote.
Algor Mortis - I knew you'd do a female signature.. I only suggested one to you because you said that you couldn't think of anything. Besides the fact that it's nicely rendered and clear, the color scheme isn't working for me. The yellow pinkish swirl doesn't blend with the darkness of the backround. The text and feel is up to par with your usual.. I feel that even a simple female image would have been better. The dotted line near her armpit was creative, I imagined an octopus tentacle. Nice entry, boog.
Dynamite - Not bad, I like your approach to the movement with the flag victory war scene. The downfall of this was the red backround design. It doesn't belong with the theme.. I still think your entry feels complete. The cursive text didn't strike anything with me, you should have continued executing the military vibe.
Run - Best entry so far.. concept is just what I expected. The clear photomanipulation makes it look like a coffee shop ad.. the lighting is nice, added laptop fits right into the theme of
RF. For a second, I thought it was you.. could it be? The "m" on Rapflava.com is cut off but that's not a problem, everything still looks professional. I kind of wanted to see all signatures in this contest, but a vertical styled entry like this is acceptable. Very good entry, thanks for participating.
Thraxwell House - Ahh, I've seen this one before. The image you chose is actually on PURE's free website. Strongarm took that and labeled it as a section for one of the websites options. The man in the middle is kind of blurred.. the dark text at the top and light text at the bottom are a distraction. The pinkish light on the DJ's record player doesn't bring out the "speed of light." If you've ever seen a streetlight photo they're blurred/distorted by the camera. That would have been a better choice for a light display.. Still though, thanks for entering, I just feel that you could have done better judging from your other sigs you've made for members.
STRONGARM - Haha.. I forgot to pm you about the contest, I wanted you to enter. Sorry about that.. you still showed up. Solid entry, I should have known you'd do something gory/organ related. Funny
BlackH - Damn, nice one. The view, graffiti, and text are all equally successful usages here. It's black and white, but not to the point where it seems bland. Def. one of the top 3 here, thanks for entering Black.
