Okay so uh hi so I can't get into great detail as I am on my phone and tiny keyboard and thumbs because my laptop died soooooo I'm gonna summarize my thoughts as best I can here:

I'm giving @Neo Emolga first place and the 3 points! I liked the overlay and it just killed me with the five cents. I think that really added the vintage for me, made me think of those days way back when, it was good. I didn't feel my eyes wandering away from the main point of the image or to anywhere that was an empty space. This is a poster that I would want.

I'm giving second place to @Pokemon Trainer Sarah for the rather motivational propaganda war posters from way back when, or whatever you call them. It was nice and simple, though I had a tiny bit of a hard time with the colours contrasting, but that could have just been me. I can imagine these in the PXR Admin room, all over the wall.

Third place goes to @ Sou Cliefe and one point to them. I liked yours a lot, and the bit with the varying quantities of Bulbasaurs was a nice tough, though I kept gravitating to that empty space on the left and I think the text could have been a touch bigger. Other than that, it was a close tie between you and Sarah.

sorry these aren't super detailed with points and what not, but those are my thoughts and scores! Neo if you can link this in the scoreboard for me, that would be great. Sorry to ask again DX



So this next weeks theme is a little different: ITS SUPER EFFECTIVE
Yes that's the theme. You can make any kind of graphic you like, banner, avatar etc. You are free to use what you like, make it serious, funny, work with Pokemons biggest trope. The only rule is that it has to be Pokemon related or contain a Pokemon in it or something Pokemon related. This may seem a bit vague but that may add some challenge for you all. I just realized I repeated myself but I'm on a phone and am not going back to erase it. Also having the text of the theme in the banner is encouraged but not required.

So something quick again, because I've got oil and cotton jammed in my ear and I need to get it checked out:

I'm gonna five first place to Neo Emolga, for his fine use if gifs and something that was plain, sweet, to the point and just plain enjoyable. If I don't see that being used in other places, I will be disappoint. Use it loud and use it proud dude! My only miff is that it's a tad tall but that's just a minor personal preference.

Second place is going to Pokemon Trainer Sarah for, another simple little poster like graphic, as it was entirely adorable, and brought me back to my Gen 2 days. That was also the generation I stopped sucking at Pokemon. I think you could have made the center piece a bit bigger though and trimmed down the amount of white, but I do like all the other little type symbols on there as well.

And third place goes to Sou Cleife for that nice little animated banner! I liked the layout a bit, though the tiny grammar flaws bug me just a tad. Need dem apostrophes for my inner RPer. XD Also the edge on the left side... feels rather cut down, I'm not sure what was goin' on with that side in comparison to the rest of your borders, which looked very nice. Maybe it's the PXR Skin I'm using, I dunno. O_O

There you have it!

@Saraibre Ryu~ Odd, I cant say I know what you're talking about...mmm. does this look better?
Just out of curiosity lol



though I am noticing some things with the transparency as I post this that dont appear when I'm saving the actually PS file. weird. This is a still of what it looks like in PS lol

[Pokemon Trainer Sarah]

I've noticed that when trying to save gifs with transparency in photoshop, it makes the transparent part really messy. :( I haven't been able to find a solution which is annoying. I guess it's just the limitations of the file types.

On a dark background, the version you just posted looks cleaner, yes! :)
