huib - top runner - 6th place - thats no inspiration man, work is stolen from www.iso50.com

shame you!!!!

mosk - gratuluje rodakowi, jak i pozostalej top 2

ha.. yeah.. total ISO50 (scott hansen) ripoff... i guess the judges aren't familiar with his work..oh well...yawn.

We have many talented people here in Poland :D Thanks for the 12 place. Good luck in final round for everyone.

Who can explain me how work all this contest... Should we invite a lot of friedns to get a high score, and then judges decide which work author bring the best profit to crestock? Or I miss something???

Explain me, please...

No, we do not intend on making a profit out of the contributions submitted. The judges (which are all external, none are Crestock employees) quite simply vote on which is their favourites. These votes are then summed up along with the popular votes, and the winner is decided out of that.

We do NOT demand the rights to sell the images submitted to this contest.

Seriously. I spotted that out right away. The winner's was top notch though. I knew that was going to win as soon as I saw it. There was alot of really good entries this week. Good work!

Thanks for fast reply...

Seems like I touch a hot spot:)...

But I'm not talking about selling thouse image, but about "more competirors new friedns, more new users, more profit"...

OK, it's just my thought, so lets forget about my question...

I just wanna see what will happen next (and the last week) and than I will know the real answer to my question...

Good luck for all who will join last week, and lot of new users for You - Crestock.com

I agree . . . http://www.merchline.com/iso50/productdisplay.452.p.htm

First things first, the winning image is amazing and it desevers to win , congratulations :D

but some comments:

I don't understand ? I can't believe out of the top 12 only 1 entry from the page 4 and 5 got in.... it seems the judges didn't really bother to look properly in the last 2 pages maybe they should have more time to decide? 5 hours is not enough to look properly at each design without getting tired.

I'm sorry but my design can not be so crap to be the least favourite amongst the judges, which seems it was the case otherwise I would be at least in the top 12.
Funny thing is I thought my image would be low ranked amongst the public who normally vote for "eye catchy" images and that it would do well amongst judges since they know photoshop so they would realize I was the only contestant in the whole competition that actually played with the elements rather than taking one of them and place it into a nice decoration around it. Furthermore my image actually has a concept, it is not just a "nice looking image".
Is this a "photoshop" competition or is this a "lets use tons of brushes and third party images and put them into one image so it looks nice?

Not to mention In those top entries there is one which is just a poster taken from someone else, another entry had like 100+ votes and is a mediocre design to be honest and it is very well placed so I don't get it.

And one last thing dont get me wrong, I am not desperate about winning a computer, I don't like macs, PCs work better for me. My whole point is just out of principles.

Rant over

You teke the words out of my mouth... I was too cowardly to say the things what you say, but I'm really surprised, that yours (and actually some other) works didn't take a part in TOP 12...

Really, really weird...

Thanks for all, who vote for me :)
I'm on 3rd place... wow! :D
I can't believe it !!!

re: iso50.com 'rip'

I wouldn't say it is a rip, but it is heavily inspired by iso50.com

anywhoo - congrats to the winner and commiserations to everyone else

maciej congratulations. i knew it.

The first 2 weeks were a little boring in comparison (in my opinion) though there were some good entries.  This 3rd week has a much better quality and higher creativity, despite some obvious copying.  This is the first time I wasn't surprised who the winner was, the first 2 weeks it felt kind of up for grabs as to what the judge's preferred style was, there weren't many that looked like the time and effort into them was readily visible.  Always nice to see polished art.

The 4th week is going to be nuts!#$%
