This is for the Alumni vs. Barons contest. My theme was: If 3 people are photographed together, the one in the middle will die first.

Your designs often remind me of the Cure actually, because they're sort of dark and eerie and creepy sometimes, but playful and gorgeous...

I thought this design was more about stealing people's souls, but any way this is interpreted one interp shines through: that of this being really really really awesome to look at. the interplay between photo and photo taker is simply outrageous.

I really like this, but the more I looked at it, the more I thought: "Those are polaroids, but that's not a polaroid camera". So, what's the deal?

When you draw those teeny textures, do you like to say "texturetexturetexturetexturetexture" over and over? Cuz I say it when I see them. Rad art!
unmake
unmake on Nov 05 '07
Since those appear to be Polaroid prints, perhaps that's what the camera should be as well?

A unique title not named exactly after flash-in-the-pan, flavor-of-the-month radio fluff would have enhanced the originality of the illustration considerably.

ThursdayDove on Nov 06 '07
amazing. I'd wear this.

shakethesheets on Nov 06 '07
how does the title enhance the originality of the illustration? I don't know if it's even physically possible to enhance the originality of valorandvellum's work because it's so amazing and distinctive already.

5$ as always!
Kerrn
Kerrn on Nov 06 '07
...since when was the cure flash-in-the-pan, flavor-of-the-month radio fluff?

and how does the title change the originality of the illustration?
did you even read the artist's description of her design?...

bullshit aside, beautiful work.
love the textures and colors and the little details like the skull on the camera.

I'm not talking about The Cure. I'm talking about that annoying song by who-even-knows-their-name called Pictures of You.
valorandvellum
   valorandvellum on Nov 06 '07
The title of this design was prompted by The Cure. I wasn't aware that there was another song by a no name band with the same title. Thank you for clarifying (?).
synecdoche
synecdoche on Nov 06 '07
I'm pretty sure geewally's talking about Ashlee Simpson's "Pieces of You," which is not even the same name.
geewally
geewally on Nov 07 '07
I just looked it up on iTunes, and it's by some band called The Last Goodnight. If the title was prompted by the song by The Cure, that's a different story. (But I doubt it.)
phyntosia
phyntosia on Nov 07 '07
v&v - cool design! :) At first I thought it was really cool and a bit weird, and then I read the backstory and decided it was even cooler :) I've never heard that superstition before!

Sometimes designs here rely on their titles for meaning, which I think is a weakness in a design. This design doesn't do that - it's a standalone design that would rock even if were untitled.

I don't understand why the title would affect someone else's scoring of the design to such a degree, or why which song it's named after should really affect the scoring. Mostly though, I don't understand why someone would doubt the designer's explanation of how they came up with the title.

Who cares, anyway? It's a cool design. Score it on that. :)
