Why I hate the winner of the Vita.mn 1st Anniversary Cover Design Contest:
1. It is too patriotic.
1a. 'WE ARE ONE' sounds like an ad for the army.
1b. There are too many stars and stripes.
2. It is really trendy - but trendy five years ago.
2b. I've seen the cursive typeface at the top a billion times on teen domains.
2c. Stencil font.
2d. The tiny little 'tech' '001' font. AGH! ! !
3. The stars are just random ass Photoshop brushes.
4. He used layers of varying opacity to create any sort of interest.
5. HE USED A PICTURE OF HIS CHILD.
6. THERE IS A HIGH CONTRAST ONE-YEAR OLD BABY WITH RAYS COMING OUT FROM HIS HEAD.
7. A BABY JESUS IN THE CENTER.
