I want everyone's opinion on it.

I'm thinking about making it into a layout.

/edit:
It didn't attach?

I'll get it here as soon as I can.

/edit:
I've got it.

Gah, was I being an ass about something? I wanted opinions, not bashing.

She gave you her opinion and you had a stuck up attitude about it.

There's a fine line between abstract and random stuff thrown together. I think you crossed it.

I like the general idea but the shapes are wayyy to undefined to register as a graphic. Try doing the same concept with more recognizable shapes.

this is not bashing; i kept it about the image; its not like im saying you suck. im just saying, your image sucks. you can't make out sht. it's just black and white blobs. abstract my ass.

Bashing the image is still bashing. Vectors and sprites aren't the only form of art. If you understood my personality, you might understand my image.

Abstract doesn't mean different, its about emotion. Ever actually take an art class?

Well sorry for trying to prove my opinion wrong. You're the one that asked people if it would make a nice layout.

Actually I just asked if it looked good and that I was considering using it in a layout. But my point there was everything has its place.

you know what, go make it into a layout , submit it and let the design staff reject it. you don't even need us if you're going to have this attitude about this. you expect good compliment about something that sucks? no. go ahead. just go make it into a layout and submit it.

Damn, I'm not trying to be an ass, I'm just telling people my point of view, but I never said you have to accept everything I say. I know I'm not the best people-person. I've been having a bad day and have been a bit irritable, but I don't think I've been this much of a dick. Have I? If so I apologize.

it looks like it could be a yeast infection or something, nothing layout/graphic worthy.

As a piece of artwork, I can see how people can appreciate it.

But as the main image in your layout? That's going to be extremely difficult to do. The image looks more brush quality than layout quality.

Yeah that was my thought, but then I figured I could add some crap to it. I haven't decided what though.

But at least I got some CONSTRUCTIVE criticism this time.
