Graphics Contest *TOP 3 RESULTS*

Perfect replicas should be worth just as much as custom shit. Creativity/Accuracy?

No, because replicas are just following an already existing designing. A custom skin is creating it yourself.

Nah man. Making a perfect replica is just as much work if not more. I'm not talking just graphics, but getting all the parts and everything as close as possible.

Sam made all of your skins for you. How would you know?

I make my own skins! I'm just not very good at it.

[DJD]

I hope you rethink accepting replicas though cause your basically eliminating creativity from the judging category, which in my personal opinion should be one of the larger scores.

That doesn't mean replicas are easier to do.

You should score creativity for a custom skin and accuracy for a replica the same way and let the wow factor be the most important part of judging.
I'm affraid that if you score creativity too high you'll get just ok skins score higher than great replicas. The best looking skin should win, replica or not.

All custom graphics is my choice. How else are you going to determine who's graphic is better? IMO it would be better to judge on the style/design rather then just the actual amount of work put into photoshop. This way you winner will be an actual good design artist. Not someone who just knows their way around photoshop.

Either way, its your comp. So do what makes you happy. I have one sitting on my hard drive I am going to finish up. Its nothing major, but at least it will be my first completed skin.

This. I feel like graphics are only a small part of the skin as a whole...

That makes no fucking sense. Graphics = Skin. Same thing, selecting a graphics kit from a website and replicating it exactly is not creating. You're just copying.

That's why I never make replica shit. Its boring as hell and involves no creative thinking. I would like to see what everyone can come up with on their own.

Its a graphic DESIGN contest people. Not a copy-cat contest.

Jeez, you'd think that someone affiliated with a clothing company (i.e. graphic designer) would swing towards custom...

I'm with DJD. Create something unique, don't replicate.

Custom is just so hit or miss. Blah.
