Abu Mikey:
How on earth is Yusufu's work better than Egift's

Seun,answer pls

iamswizz: You call these designs?? Seriously..

Smh.

Seun: The main flaw with Egift's submission is the compression. When he was told that his initial submissions were too heavy, he carelessly compressed them down to about 10kb. This introduced unnecessary compression artefacts that ruined the smooth gradients in all his designs. Anyone designing banner ads for the web should master the art of image compression.

The second flaw is in the area of consistency. His Wizkid Wedding ad is fantastic (well, before compression). His Fashola 2015 ad is quite unique and inspired (though also marred by the compression). But his Covenant University ad is subpar. The name of the university he wants us to apply for is too tiny to read. Even the action button which says "Apply Now" is quite tiny. His BBM on Android Ad is also subpar because his phone images are not aesthetically arranged. It's as if someone threw a bunch of phones on the floor and took a picture. The lettering for "TECNO mobile" is also fuzzy, and the phrase "think globally, act locally" has no relevance as far as I can tell. That's why he's number 5 and not number 1.

The ideal number one is someone that, if you ask him to design 10 ads, you will be sure that at least 9 of them would be fantastic.

I just clicked the "unfollow" button when I saw your post.

Now back to your response

1) His flaw based on compression,all I can say is,that shouldn't have been a major panacea for analyzing his work.
But since you take it as a major flaw,then so be it!!
You've taken a decision already.

2) I agree with your second spotted flaw
I didn't know you would notice how two of his works were sup Par, the third sub par and the fourth sub par.


Bottomline is »»» I quite agree with your result after the explanation you gave.

Job Well done Seun

ifyalways: clear comot for road. Your type are called "Oji onu" (all mouth/fart, no action) why didn't u participate if u had anything better?

iamswizz: You call these designs?? Seriously..

Smh.

ludot: If I am to go for a designer, I will choose the guy that came 2nd. His 'call to action' is consistent.

No matter how beautiful your advert is, if it does not ask the viewer to do something, it is a waste of space.

bro i respect your opinion but clients go for beautiful designs, if your designs aint beautiful then yous write up will be useless. The client tells you what to write on his/her designs, so that doesnt matter..... Yusufu16 made a design for Samsung and Nairabet, so he sure knows what his client want..... He is the winner anytime anyday.

Seun,answer pls

yusufu16: Congrats to all the winners and participants

We should not relent on our quest for self improvement.

We should not allow others to believe in us, but rather we should believe in ourselves.

Thank you Seun for this opportunity.
