Sadness in Scandanavia

 

 

There was disappointment in Scandanavia this week as first time World Cup GM Henrik Zoiderberg lead his team to a first-round exit after going 0.500 in the round robin stage. Zoiderberg took personal responsibilty for the loss, stating, "This one's on me, my heart just wasn't in it" Zoiderberg added, "The whole team played their hearts out, including Paulo and that whole first line. They wanted to bring it home one last time and I couldn't make that happen for them."

 

A humbling experience indeed for the first-time GM and leadership hopeful.

Not a lot done here to this sig. I have to ask, what did you add to it? That's just text and a little logo. Usually you put a little more effort into it with your sigs.

oh boy, time for a breakdown:

 

On image:

Text is dual-layered and includes tweaking of the stroke effect to make it stand out against a difficult background.

Planet express logo was cut out and blurred onto the door for more of a background effect.

Mild touch-ups to the edges of the photo to make Z pop a bit more on the image.

 

I also included a 100 word blurb for like...quarter credit? towards the image not being quite as flashy as a few that have been put in in the past; but all of my sigs are generally just text on image with a logo, sometimes with a background thrown in. If that's not going to fly I'll need to take more photoshop lessons.

 

If this isn't good enough, I'd ask time to be given a re-do for last week's TPE, since this criticism didn't arrive until the following Monday and I've had no time to fix it.

Sorry, lack of official response from me. I'll let this one pass.

 

As for the 100 word blurb, the writing doesn't really count towards your PT if it's a graphic PT. You can't combine them together and do like a so-so graphic and a so-so write-up for 3 TPE each, etc.
