ok, since your spamming your design in every post ill give you proper crit of this wallpaper, and why its not even average.
the theme is country western. why use an image of snoop wearing tin foil?? you didnt even try to change the color, never mind his attire. few other photoshopped his clothes, or just used his face. you never, and its poor, doesnt fit.
you tried to give the BG a texture of old brown paper, once again its pretty poor, only has 1 hue. try using other hue\'s. even using the burn tool adjusts the hue.
you have used a flat 2D background, but then added drop shadow to the snoopdogg text. make up your mind, 2d or 3d? you fell victim to applying pointless layer styles. why add shadow? becasue you can, we get it. fact of the matter is my dog could apply a drop shadow.
you also did it to JC\'s face. but not the other BG elements, such as the default photoshop vector shape i noticed you used (i dont know why it has no relevance, thats jsut laziness on your part)
btw, neither you, crestock or snoop dogg own the rights to use JC\'s face, so your entry isnt even valid. the winner of round 1 didnt own the rights to his image, but snoop dogg does, and it shis contest so i guess thats legal.
also whats the box that surrounds your title text? looks like plaster or somthing. and giving it a shadow too.. is it meant to look like its floating?
\'ego tripping\' is poorly placed, and white makes it stand out to much, is just thrown on and makes an already bad composition even worse.
theres not one part of your design i can say anything positive about.
so there, a fair and constructive opinion of your poor design.

"The fact of the matter" is:
1. It's people like you on here that I hate. You're the "poor" one, my friend. So much anger and rage. Who pissed in your cereal this morning. You probably never get laid....that's a given. And go figure. Who would want to...
Only 2 times I posted a link to my design when this other tool "jhonny" (it's probably you, no doubt) was posting negative sh!t on everyone else's page...and I added something positive with a link to look at mine. I'm spamming?...I don't think so.
I don't go around attacking other people's designs. I say something positive or don't say anything at all. What's the point in bashing, really? Do you feel better now? You're a loser, man.
2. You're not the judge of this contest. figure that out yet?
3. never asked for your opinion. Who are you anyways? A tough guy name dash "-". Wow! Where's your design? too good to bring yourself to work on something other than negative sh!t? (notice there's a difference between "too" and "to", Einstein)
4. you probably beat your so called "dog:...judging by the anger in your post you probably beat your kids as well for no good reason... that is, if you can actually get a woman. probably not. but, whatever, ugly people still marry ugly people and hence...make ugly kids.
5. Basically I do this for fun and it's dickhead's like you that don't make it fun. You just enjoy tearing other people down and don't have the guts to even put your own design out there. Coward!
6. ...learn how to speak English.
7. Get a life man! Seriously, you're taking this Snoop Dogg wallpaper contest way too seriously. Why? You're not even IN this contest!!! It's so funny that you have the time to go in and bash others. Actually, it's really sad. You're sad, man.

im baaaaaack :D
oh, what do you know, all my comments bar this one, have been deleted!
i wonder why, not once did i swear, i just gave out out alot of the truth seems no-one can accept. my posts were followed by some moron who swore and also withheld his name. (i can only presume he was one of the offended creators of one of these ugly ducklings.)
what gets me is that, why do people post there work online, on any website when they know people can comment on there work.
sorry crestock, i didnt read anywhere that you can only reply with positive comments.
and to be honest friend, its for your own good. tell me with all honesty that after reading my crit above, that you couldnt now good back to either this design and improve it, or make something better from scratch?
but hey, at least you came out with a reply, all the other bitches seemed to have just cried about som1 giving them harsh comments and asked for it to be removed.
so anyway in reply to what you said above...

1. nobody pissed in my cereal, and yes i get laid a few times a week if you really want to know, but what difference does that make to any of my comments? even if i was a virgin who ate pissed in cereal, wouldnt make my comments unjustified.
doesnt matter how many times you posted your link, your still spamming, obviously you wanted attention, and now you cry that the attention you got wasnt what you wanted to hear maybe next time you should post somthing like \'check out my design and please say \'im amazing and it should win!\'
whats the point in bashing? you call what i wrote above, bashing? why, because... you didnt like my tone? what if i had said somthing like, oh i really like your design but... listed all its faults and finished with \'if you change that stuff you could really win!\' would that make you feel better? thats how a teacher speaks to little children, grow up.
2. You\'re not the judge of this contest. figure that out yet?
- never claimed to be the judge. so thats a pretty pointless statement. btw none of the judges have any expert knowledge in design (should help you then LOL)
3. too and to, who cares, im not writing an essay or a book. i have several qualifications in english, not that it matters, but look i forget several \' in words above. maybe i should go back and fix them at the end of my post to keep them happy. you say you never asked my opinion but you did. not only did you post your work online knowing people can comment on your design, but you spammed it too.
ah the classic \'wheres your work\' what difference does that make to your design? what if i gave you a link to my portfolio and you thought it was the greatest work ever produced, would you then apologize about calling me names and then tell me im right about your work? i think not, so i wont bother.
4. beating animals, ugly kids, didnt really read this line, i think you were just trying to be funny. oh btw, i have no \'anger\' im just passionate about design and felt like telling some truths. but to be honest, its bad designers like you and the majority of entrants to this contest that make me rich.
5. oh sorry i dont make it fun! never knew i ruin all your fun by giving you negative crit. boo hoo :(
6. see above :/
7. how do you know im not in this contest? i might be, i might not be.
again you mention bashing, but you know what the funniest part of your reply is. you never mentioned anything at all about your design and my opinion of it. a review of your reply would be personal insults, probably trying to be funny on the internet, and other people will reply \'haha you pwnd that guy!\' because you told me i beat my dog or something. you pick bones out of grammar errors i never bothered to fix (thats really clutching at straws man).
why didnt you argue any points about your design? go ask even your family and friends if you have any if they think im right. or better than that, go try it yourself, take my advice from above and rework your image if you can bothered, and see my comments make your design better, and you a better designer for it. i assure mate, i am right.
