Effort 2/2: text, stock work, coloring, blending. that's enough for a 2. Look 2.25/3: not bad, but there's still a few things you could work on. first of all, the background text makes it look like the sig is watermarked and just distracts from the overall feel. the main text placement could also use some work, and I'm really not feeling the completely unsaturated style of this one. Creativity 1/1: sure Overall: 5.25/6

Effort 2/2: text, lighting, coloring, border-thing. its close but since it's a manip its harder to tell what was actually done so i'll give it to you. Look 2.75/3: this looks really good, but I still feel it's missing something. also I don't really like the font you chose for the players name. other than that, this looks good. Creativity 1/1: sure Overall: 5.75/6

Effort 1/2: not much better. still like 3 images pasted on top of each other and some text. Look 1/3: as said above, not much was done here so not much to grade. needs a lot of blending and effects to reach a 2 from me. Creativity 1/1: Sure Overall: 3/6

Effort 2/2: text, blending, stock work, coloring, render effects. definitely enough. Look 3/3: no complaints from me, really really like the text on this one and the whole thing just flows really well. good job. Creativity 1/1: Sure Overall: 6/6

Effort 2/2: text, blending, render effects, some stock work. close but I'll give it to you. Look 2.25/3: not a huge fan of this one. it looks like the only attempt at blending was a motion blur effect and it didn't really go that well. text also sticks out like a sore thumb. Creativity 1/1: sure Overall: 5.25/6

Effort 2/2: text, blending, stock work, lighting. Look 2.5/3: I like the idea here, I just don't think it was done just right. the coloring looks off to me, which also leads to the render standing out a little too much. also, not a huge fan on the text. Creativity 1/1: sure Overall: 5.5/6

Effort 2/2: text, render effects, blending, lighting. Look 2.75/3: really like this one, only thing is that I feel the head of the render is almost lit too much, which makes it stand out a little more than it needs to. Creativity 1/1: Sure Overall: 5.75/6 Final: 6/6

Effort 2/2: text, blending, background, render effects Look 2.75/3: I like this one, the only thing holding it back for me is that the text is on the left side of the render, which gives the sig an unbalanced feel. having it more toward the middle of the sig i feel would give this a better look. Creativity 1/1: Sure Overall: 5.75/6 Final: 6/6

Effort 2/2: text, blending, stock work, render effects, lighting. Look 3/3: really really like this one. sig looks a little too bright/ washed out, but not enough to dock for. good job. Creativity 1/1: Sure Overall: 6/6

good series boys, that was close.

Niels Skovgaard Position: Right Wing Age: 18 Height: 6'2" Weight: 195 lbs Birthplace: Copenhagen, Denmark Niels Skovgaard is one of two Danish prospects expected to be selected in the S46 VHL Draft. Currently playing for the Saskatoon Wild of the VHLM, Niels has been regarded as one of the main pieces that brought Saskatoon to the conference finals. Skovgaard's play style has generally been team-focused, but he has been known to find the back of the net occasionally. Expected to be taken near the end of the first round or at the start of the second round, Niels should have all the tools to make an impact on his VHL team within 2 seasons. Strengths Vision: Skovgaard's hockey sense could be regarded as one of the best in his draft class. He can see plays developing very well, which complements his team-centered play nicely. The way he is known to set up other players for quality chances can change the flow of games. Skovgaard can be a real offensive treat if he is paired with a skilled goal-scoring threat. Endurance: Niels has been known throughout his career as a forward who can eat minutes. In S45 in the VHLM, Niels had the 3rd most overall minutes played among all players. This trait allows Skovgaard to thrive on the penalty kill and power-play, along with playing regular-strength minutes. Niels' endurance could be the reason he makes it into the VHL directly after he is drafted. Two-Way Play: Another reason Skovgaard can thrive on the penalty kill is his two-way play. This also relates to his vision as he has a good ability to read the offense to try and break up any scoring chances. He won't just linger on the blue line waiting for his team to make a play; he will get try to make the play for his team himself. Weaknesses Leadership: On and off the ice, Niels has been known mainly as being a follower, rather than a leader. He is known to be quite quiet most of the time, and he won't say much unless he is being talked to. Some say that him coming to play junior hockey in Canada, somewhere he couldn't speak the language very well, might have been a reason why he was not very communicative. Durability: Injuries are nothing new to Skovgaard as he attempts to make a VHL team. His defensive play style means he will get down to block shots occasionally, but a lot of the time this doesn't end very well for him. This is something he is always looking to improve on, as he does not want to be known as the Derrick Rose of the VHL. Position: Scouts are saying one of Skovgaard's main downfalls is that he isn't a center. When people look over Niels' skill set, it is obvious that he has all the tools to be a great two-way playmaking center. The only problem is that he has never been able to take faceoffs in his career. Some people have said that Niels' ranking could be even higher if he was entering the draft as a center.

Effort 1/2: Cropped an image, slapped a beach ball on there and slapped a logo on the stick. and added some text. Look 1/3: almost nothing to grade since this is pretty much just an image with 2 other ones sloppily pasted on top of it with some text. Creativity 1/1: gotta give you this one though Overall: 3/6

Effort 2/2: text effects, stock work, lighting. close but I can see it. Look 2.25/3: very little blending makes the render stick out too much on this one. also the text is very low opacity which makes it near impossible to read. lighting does look good, though. Creativity 1/1: Sure. Overall: 5.25/6

Effort 1.75/2: text, splatter brushing, blur effects. this one needs a bit more for full marks. Look 2/3: Not a big fan of this one. not much blending, no lighting, bad text placement, and the render is facing the wrong way and is very low quality. Creativity 1/1: Sure. Overall: 4.75/6

Effort 2/2: blending, text, lighting, render effects, stock work. Look 2.5/3: ageed with DAAD, the render is almost too blended in. it feels like you used too many stocks around the render that draw attention from the focal point. besides that, it looks pretty good. Creativity 1/1: Sure. Overall: 5.5/6 Final: 6/6

Effort 1.5/2: well it looks like you added some stocks and attempted some lighting this time, but still needs more work. Look 2/3: render placement, text placement, blending all needs major work. keep improving and you'll start getting 6's in no time. Creativity 1/1: Sure. Overall: 4.5/6 Final: 5/6

Effort 2/2: Blending, background effects, render effects, lighting, text. Look 2.75/3: This one is close, but the coloring really doesn't look good on this one. Not a fan of the blue. Creativity 1/1: Yup Overall: 5.75/6 Final: 6/6

Effort 2/2: Text, blending, coloring, render effects. Look 2.75/3: I really like the text and coloring on this one, I just think the render could use a little more blending on this one. Creativity 1/1: Yes. Overall: 5.75/6
