Mr Bohannan

Alright, there we go! Glad to finally see a super dope signature that I would wish it would be for me. Always have loved this pink-ish and purple-ish combo of the colours as they well fit together, love the different and unusual size for the canvas, the little cherry of both texts on both sides and the main text as well is well done. The only thing I could pick on and that is just my personal preference is the stock image background. I can kinda see too much of it and would love it to be more "taken care of". Rating 9/10

The team started to go down the loosing stream path with some wins in-between but overall nothing great. Team management were desperately trying to find out ways how to get back this great team on the horse, but nothing really helped. It was decided to bring in new talent and hopefully they would give us the fresh start and motivation to finish off this season on a good note, same note that they started with. The first games with the new teammates did not go well and it was okey, Matt was not the one to judge when he could have been judged on his own as he felt one of the games was on his shoulders, because he did not score his shoot-out attempt and the game was lost. He liked the new guys and he was looking hopefully on this new team of Mexico City Kings and he knew that with a bit of extra time to feel each other out, they will climb back on that god darn horse and show what everyone is made off!

Very simple and straight forward graphic and I like it. It is very sunshiny and I can tell you tried to boost the brightness of the sun, but I think you failed there a little bit and therefore messing with the contrast some of the places in the graphic are overdone, for example the hair. But rest is quite good for the simplicity. The only reason I will give you a bit lower score is because it is a very simple piece. Rating: 7/10

Alrighty, hello again my friend and wow, finally Im witnessing something different and Im happy with what I see. I cannot say I am a fan of this type of style of art, but this one is made nice. I do agree with someone who said earlier that the VHL logo fits well on the wall and is added really nice and oh boy, I LOVE the text, especially TORO part. There could be some things done differently, style wise, but that is already my own design ideas and your is yours, so well done. Rating: 8/10

1. With the recent players we have acquired do you think this team will start to dominate? - Well I hoped so, but it was not the case and maybe they just need to adjust, so Im still hopeful! 2. Are you following the play-off beard tradition if we get into the play-offs? - Oh Im following it even in regular season. Maybe trim it a little bit, before the playoffs. 3. Is there anything you wish the team was doing differently at this point in the season? Hard to tell, because I trust my managers and just because something does not work, does not mean it's wrong. 4. Is there any player on the team you want to be on a line with? Im happy with the linemates I have, so no. I think we are doing a great job and our personal scores show it. 5. Do you have any ideas for an article or graphic for the theme week? Yes, I do! Gonna make it and post it soon after this. 6. What is one thing on your bucket list (IRL)? Own a house by age of 35.

The start of the season was good for Mexico City Kings and also for Matt. But lately the team has struck a loosing streak instead of a winning one and that bothered Matt a lot. Someone who fought for the top positions not just in team, but in the whole league, he felt like the burden of making sore that the team wins was on his shoulders. It might sound ignorant and very solo based, but it wasn't all that. It was not like he wanted to score all the goals, not at all, he wanted to lead by example and if he had a bad game he felt guilty about it, guilty about not being able to give the team mates the example, lead the team. He knew he was not the captain and it was captains job to keep the team motivated, but he also knew that when he can show up for the game and set up a good play or even score it boosts the teams morale and gives them drive and for those reasons he felt guilty about the loosing streak that the team was having and was determined to break it.

Ooof, this signature looks like it came straight out of some "Wrong turn" or "Hills have eyes" horror movie. Obviously I think that the dark and scratchy effect is way too much. Like the text tho. With some better effects or maybe just some colour changes, making it simple, the graphic would have been way nicer and better in my opinion. Rating: 6/10

Unfortunately I will not be able to be as nice in this review as the person above me, but I think that constructive criticism is good for the growth of the individual, in this situation you as the graphics creator. Let me start with the fact that although I understand that everyones skills are different I still thing there should be some margin of quality of the work in order for it to be presented as full 6 TP admission. I for example dont do graphics because Im not keen on them and mainly it's because I dont have so much skill to make what I see as 6TP piece each week. Of course everyone learns and if you're interested in producing graphics I think the "Supplemental Point Tasks" section is more for this type of piece as place for learning. Of course this is my personal opinion. Now to the actual piece. The render is cut out nicely (could have used more clear picture as this is bit blurry compared to other things in the piece), the jersey swap is not to chabby as well. The things I struggle with the most is the background and the text. I dont really know what to say about the background besides that it doesn't really look good or fit with the player, but I might be wrong as Im not fully aware of what you were going for in this piece. About text it could always be better, but that I say to everyone, always. The only thing I will point out on the text is that the shadow is rigid and I would prefer if it would have been blurred instead. Rating: 6/10

1. Now that the season is in full swing, what has been your highlight of the season so far? Could be team related or player focused. - My highlight of the season probably was my first game winning goal. I mean I had 5 more after that, but the first one was special. 2. How do you feel about bringing in a new goalie in Big Hank? - Well the name already gives you the vibe of a good goalie. Big Hank, hopefully will be big help and big change! 3. With the trade deadline looming in the distance, what would you do with the current team? - If I could answer this question we would not have need for a GM! haha 4. Matt Avens has been killing it recently in goals and currently ranked number 4 in most goals so far this season. Why do you think he finds so much success? - Teamwork, 100%! 5. Anything surprise you yet in the VHLM/VHLE/VHL? Could be a trade / team performance / player / etc. - My biggest surprise was how many hits Im taking, but still being one of the leagues leaders. 6. What is your biggest regret? - Not scoring more and bringing more wins to the team?

The first team that reached out to Matt was Saskatoon Wild to sign him out of waivers as he did not make the draft and was put in the next draft class. During the draft Matt was not picked up by Saskatoon, but Mexico City Kings instead so that meant that he would have to play against his former team and it was not a fun thing to do as he got to know some of the guys close enough to call them his friends. With the sad thought in his head he realized that it is what it is and it has to be done. Either they win or he loses and in his mind there was not room for loses and he proved that when in one of the games he scored 5 points against his former team and was named the first star of the game. It is a game, so no hard feelings and besides that, the season has just started and Saskatoon bois will have plenty of chances to get Matt back for it, all in good fun.

Very nice and high end looking banner, but I do not think this banner would win or be the best submission. All that golden colour makes me feel that the banner is very fancy, rich, so I kinda wish you would have mixed some other colours and made something more unique. Also I am not fan of the font you've used for the player names. But you know, that's just imo. Rating: 7/10

And here is your first review as well! Hehe Considering this is your first graphic, I have to say that you have done a good job with the little you've done with the puck render. You have figured out how to bend the text in a circle and how to make it feel like it is a properly signed first goal puck. I give you extra points for the originality of the graphic idea as I have not seen this before. Rating: 7/10

1. With the first 11 games in the books are you happy with your players performance? - I am very happy as Matt is doing a brilliant job helping the team and showing upon top leaderscores. 2. With the team being 6-3-2 are there any early adjustments you think the team should make? - It's too early to consider any adjustments as there is still a long way to go and more games ahead to analyse. 3.With Dookie Headtop being the top point getter in the league right now, what is your reaction to that? - All good, bit jealous! 4.Who do you think deserves the Captain “C” this season? - To be fair I have not thought about it. 5. What is your go to dessert? - Oat Cookies 6.What is your favourite video game right now? If you play games. - I guess New World.

The Junior Showcase Tournament could not have went better. Royals, the team that Matt was representing, ended up going all the way and becoming the gold medallists of the tournament and on top of that Matt ended up being the top point earner in the whole tournament. He was feeling good about himself and he knew that he showed himself from the best possible way he could. Now it was time to see how did it impact the both, VHL and VHLE drafts. The first was VHL draft and considering that that is the big league and he would not play in it for at least two seasons, he knew that he is not gonna be the first round pick, but he was hoping to go at a good pick. As per his wish he got drafted with the 33rd overall pick in VHL draft into London United. When it came to VHLE draft, a league where he could move up next season, things had a weird turn. Already 50 picks were made and still Matt did not hear his name. Players that felt like are way worse in what they offer and their on-ice skills, went before him, so it was a massive feeling of confusion, what's happening? Why VHLE GM's were not interested in him. 78th overall pick came and he finally heard his name being called. Not happy and not sad, just confused he promised he would rip the VHLE league and show what everyone slept on!

Not sure have I seen the first one and probably I haven't, but it's all about this one right now. If you would like to compare this piece with some other pieces that we have seen on this forum, then I would say that this is an avarage piece, but, there is always a but. It's average from the perspective of skillset used, but as a whole graphic it is actually very nice and above average. For me this is one of those very simple, but still a nice graphic that hits all the spots and you don't really mind it. Jersey swap is done very good, the little design pieces are adding to the whole composition and overall it is a super balanced and nice piece. Great job! Rating: 7/10 (7 compared to other graphics, 8/10 on its own).

Very nice, very painting-y, overall super cool piece. I wish I could actually give any pointers or anything for this review, but pieces like these are over my own skillset so I simply cannot say nothing that could make this signature better than it already is. It gives me this dreamy vibe and overall I like the colour choice. I would say the colour choice is a safe one as it is a very common combination. The text is OK as well and knowing that texts are always something that could be done better, Im not even gonna really touch on it. I must ask tho - do you see this specific style of graphics your style or you just find it easy to make or what is the reason you are staying in the same lane with every work you make? Rating: 8/10

What is something you couldn't live without? - Feeling of being needed What is one thing ritual you do before every game? - I listen to one specific song. What song? It's a secret! What is your favourite pre-game meal? - Strawberries with sugar and milk. Need to keep it light. If you had to play another sport what would you play? - American Football What is your go to shoe when you're relaxing? - Not sure what does shoe has to do with relaxing or I dont understand the question. If you could put a team anywhere in the world where would it be? - Chernobyl and call them - Chernobyl Atoms
