So torn between 4 and 5... but I voted for 4 because I can't say no to Lisa. :D

5... for aesthetic reasons, actually.

[identity profile] abiding.livejournal.com 2008-08-12 05:50 am (UTC)(link)
I thought 2 was super cute and poppy.

4

Personally, I'm shocked that Harvey Dent isn't winning.

That icon is magical.

I really liked #1, but the lines in the BG don't line up and it made me v.sad. I can see the seeeeeeeeeeeams. Whoever made it should check out the stripe generator. >:

Poor underappreciated #2!

[identity profile] beandelphiki.livejournal.com 2008-08-12 08:10 am (UTC)(link)
At a glance, I think that #1 would be way too wide for my monitor/screen resolution. Ugh, does anybody else long for the days when lj layouts actually all fit onscreen at a standard screen resolution? Since lj brought in that lifeless crap from Vox, people seem to think it's perfectly okay to have to SCROLL SIDEWAYS. WTF.

Otherwise, it's not a bad layout. Just the width thing is - no, sorry.


I REALLY like #2. It's nice and clean and easy on the eyes. The only suggestion I might make is to adjust the width of the header to match the entries table, but that's it.

Too bad it's not winning. There's just NO accounting for taste.


#3 is also comfortable to look at...but something about it (I'm thinking mostly the colors) sort of makes it look girly and teeny-bopper, which I suspect is the primary reason it's not winning. People might have given other reasons (I haven't read all the comments), but people have such strong subconscious reactions to color choices that I'd be surprised if color wasn't the main problem.

There's other things, but I can't put my finger on them, other than that shape might be an issue here, too. Both this and #2 have rounded corners in them that I'm guessing are turning off some people as well. Pity, not everything has to have square corners.


#4 will be harder to read than, say, my preferred choice of #2. (And looks like it will also be TOO WIDE, makeitstop!) But no more so than the current layout PLUS the Doctor's in there. As long as my fandom is in a header like that, I'm sufficiently placated to vote for it...


Because, WTF, how the hell is #5 winning?! I don't know what that header's about, but I don't care, either. I feel like a jerk for saying so, but even good layout makers can turn out stinkers, and this is seriously fucking ugly. MAN, IS IT EVER UGLY. Yeah, yeah, the background will be amusing for the first week or so.



The goggles, they do nothing. :(

Had to be number five. The colours are great and the whole layout is really stylish, with the hand drawn elements as well as the use of the paper textures.

Though I only ever look at f!s on my friends list, so it doesn't really matter too much to me...

K FOUR IS AWESOME.

[identity profile] justbolognese.livejournal.com 2008-08-12 10:18 am (UTC)(link)
BUT I LOVE THEM ALL!
Four and five are great but one is not bad either.
And wow, Harvey Dent! You people can't be serious for one minute, can you? xD

[identity profile] leafing.livejournal.com 2008-08-12 11:57 am (UTC)(link)
I'm torn between 4 and 5.

I can't handle the pressure!

[identity profile] wednesdaystars.livejournal.com 2008-08-12 01:06 pm (UTC)(link)
agh you're testing us with HARVEY DENT. I almost voted for him!!! D: poor Harvey Dent. I BELIEVE IN YOU.

ALSO all these backgrounds are so awesome annnnnnnnd I almost couldn't decide. I can't actually remember what I voted for either, so maybe that's a good thing.
therealkaichan: (ahahahahahaha)

[personal profile] therealkaichan 2008-08-12 01:51 pm (UTC)(link)
I voted Harvey Dent, because I happen to watch this on my friends page, so I don't care about the layout.

...

I would have voted Harvey Dent anyway, but this makes me sound like a more serious person U_U

[identity profile] pinstripedkid.livejournal.com 2008-08-12 02:29 pm (UTC)(link)

[identity profile] callmejude.livejournal.com 2008-08-12 06:31 pm (UTC)(link)
I couldn't choose between four or five, but five seems to be in the lead, anyway.

[identity profile] swimming4urlove.livejournal.com 2008-08-12 08:04 pm (UTC)(link)
#5 <3

#4 is nice too but it's too serious for F!S.

[identity profile] polysamachan.livejournal.com 2008-08-12 08:07 pm (UTC)(link)
I believe in Harvey Dent more than layout competitions. :<<< Sorry.

now if we could just get a Harvey Dent LAYOUT, then we're cool.

(Anonymous) 2008-08-12 08:39 pm (UTC)(link)
#4 doesn't include any of my fandoms... and I have 20 different fandoms. How does that work? :P
