The Joy of Designing: Round Two - Voting
Ends the 13th at 11:59pm

Workshop Two: In Progress!



Voting


Everyone will receive 3 votes. You may vote for three different design sets - not individual designs. You may not put all three votes on one set, but you may elect to vote for less than 3. Feel free to leave comments for our designers about what you liked about their design and constructive criticism about what you would have liked to have seen done differently. All applicants are allowed to vote, but! You may not vote for your own design. I will know who's design belongs to who - so no sneaky stuff. :P YOU MAY NOT CHANGE YOUR VOTE IF YOU'VE ALREADY VOTED - there will be no edits allowed. Please do not reveal your designs to anyone until voting is over! Revealing your designs or getting your friends to vote for your design set will result in an automatic elimination. This means don't submit these designs in other contest and please don't submit them publicly on the generator! Please let me know if you'd like to be pinged for the voting threads! Please take the time to read each round's theme so you know the objective for each design.

Recommended: I recognize there is a lot to go through here, I ask you please pick out those you are drawn to, then look at all their information and references more in depth to make your decisions. (:

Round Two Theme - Wonders of the World



Please use different species for each design set and include any references used!

Design Set 1 - For this design set, I ask you create an identical design pair based on the official wonders of the world. This maybe be from the 7 wonders of the ancient world, 7 wonders of the modern world, or 7 wonders of the natural world. But please only use the official wonders!

Design Set 2 - For this design set, select a man made structure you believe should be added to the wonders of the world - ancient or modern. Design a pair around it - they must be identical and one of each gender present.

Design Set 3 - For this design set, select a something in nature you believe would be considered the 8th natural wonder of the world. Design a pair around it - they must be identical and one of each gender present.


I can't wait to see what you all come up with! Because this is posted early, you get two weeks to work, however, there is the possibility of being eliminated in round one's voting round - so please keep this is mind!

Design 2:
Sydney Opera House Ferrikki
I think this building is beautiful, an architectural work of art. I was inspired by the sea around the building and used that for the base color. I then used the colors off the building for the accenting of the design, and flowing traits to based off the flowing lines of the building.

Voting for 1, 8, and 11!


There are so many nice ones, but after quite a bit of work, I've settled on those.
This is unnecessary to do, but out of each one, my favorites in each set are the first in #1, 3rd in #8, and 3rd in #11, thought I'd make that distinction for the designers of them.

I vote for 1, 8 and 14.

I vote 1, 4, and 13!

Also just gonna say for #13 I really love the Area 51 design! It's creative and if you actually pull it into the generator it is a really cool and fun idea!
