About


Welcome to [info]geass_stills. This is an animated-free icontest for people who like the anime Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion created by Sunrise, or the manga.

Every week, a theme will be post and you'll have to let your graphic skills do the rest.
The themes will be
-General,in which a random word will be given and you'll have to be creative enough with both the image and the text, and even better, the series itself.
-Lyrical, the lyrics of any song will be post. You must use at least three consecutive words, and one should be able to read them.
-Image, any picture -except fanart- related to Code Geass will be post, and you'll have to work only with that picture, in any way you want.

Admin and mods will be able to enter, and we would never ever cheat.

Voting
To vote you must first join the community, if you are not a member, your vote will be discarded immediately. Voting will occur from Friday night to Sunday night every week. Comments are screened, so you do not have to worry about people seeing how you voted.

Vote for your three favorite icons in the order that you like them.

Example:

First: 44
Second: 99
Third: 11

SP:77

Or,

44, 99, 11
77

First place gets 3 points, Second place gets 2 points, and Third place gets 1 point; so order does matter!

Also vote for an icon that you think best represents the special category, which varies every week.

Most Creative: The icon that shows the most originality from the others through its cropping, blending, captioning, or typography, etc.

Best Adaptation: The icon that represents the theme the best through both the chosen image and text.

Best Color: The icon that stands out from the rest color-wise. It has the most effective use of color, whether it's faded, vivid, monotone, or duotone, etc.

Most Emotional: The icon that has the biggest emotional impact on the viewer compared to the other icons. The image and/or text is very well chosen and evokes any strong feeling.

Best Typography: The icon with the best treatment of text regardless of text content. This applies to the physical appearance of the words on the icon and can include good use of dingbats. Good text placement also plays a role in good typography.

Best Caption: The icon that has the best text content. This means the words' actual meaning matches the icon well. This can be well-chosen lyrics, a good phrase, or even a single, effective word.

Most Accurate: The only one I actually thought of, btw. The icon that fits the series better, being because of text usage or more fitting with the theme given. It is not the same as Best Adaptation, where the image and text have to fit each other, regardless the series.


All votes are screened so that only the mods can view them. Voting is just as important as submiting, so everyone should take a moment to vote on the icons of their choice.

Remember, you may not vote for your icon.
