Wow Hybrid, fantasic colours! Awesome layout! Good use of elements! Kick Ass text!
This one will be hard to follow, Im going to sit in the wings and watch this with interest.

Thanks Nat!

I'm hoping it'll pick up ;)

For some reason, I love the text.

This volley will be hard to work off of for us unispired people, but that's the challenge I suppose. I'll give it a shot.

Odd file dimensions... good to do something different though.

I wanted to redo the pallete, but I liked the colors alot. Anyone want to give me some advice on how the text could have been done better and stayed balanced? I threw it around literally everywhere....

Hybrid: Don’t worry, You have some really good ideas for battles, a lot of which not only challenge creative thinking, but the elements and boundaries of design, this one is sure to draw a lot of attention.
I personally cant wait to see what comes of this.
Very good idea.

dude, flashy, that is way tight. nice!
not only is it brilliantly composed, it has the imagination to tell a story.

:) :thumbsup: :)

good work, i quiet like the last one! :thumbsup:

Very cool Flash!

I love how it looks like he's cutting the darkness with his finger. :)

I hope you all dont mind me going next

./edit I wasn't even paying attention to the battle title. I was thinking Imagine -> imagination but now i just feel like dork

Really nice image JWin, I personally think it all fits together well. The only thing I'm unsure of is the 121 with the ace. I'm not really sure that fits well into the image.

I do find it amusing that everyone has chosen to keep the man and his child. So far this battle has been centered around that. I personally like it, it's like many interpretations of the same image (similar to a Fill This).

DaVulf. I aggree with the numbers not quite fitting. But it's not an ace it is a clock face (correct me if i'm wrong). There are some other numbers getting lost in the clouds if you look close.

So fare this has been a tight battle. I'll be watching and when I get a second ill take part...

Yeh, its a clock, it's a wwII era plane. The point was the clock was supposed to dissappear into the clouds but I ended up putting an hour just into the propellors so I got bored :p

Thanks guys, can't wait to see the next ones

JWin,

Nice job. I like that image a lot. Are the trees and the sky the same image or two?

Once small thing, there is a line in the upper right corner of the frame.

In fact JWin, I liked it so much I was inspired. Here's my submission.

I found some cool WWII posters.

what line :p
oversite on my part

It's 1 and 2 (and 3 sorta). I cut the house and trees out, made em black and put em on top. and the main background is 2 images, the original and one set to hard light on top in PS.

I like the response a lot shots

shots, awesome, your best yet! Keep it up.

Love the return shots. And many kudos for the poster resource!!

Thanks! I'm liking this one too. Although, now that I look at it there are a couple changes I might make. The planes and text are too dark. The color should match the scattered black lines. Second I might add a bit of grunge to the text. What do you think, would these be improvements or should I just leave things alone before I screw it up.

You're welcome about the posters. Just knock a few levels off the url and you'll find the poster search page.

Shots, the grunge brushes you used there could be toned down a bit, they fit the image, but they're not 'apart' of it as well as they could be...try turning down the opacity a bit on them so they'll sink into the yellow BG.

I guess grunging up the text would be cool, but do't go overboard with it. And maybe if you're lookign to add somethign to the text, instead of using that full black, try using a nicely dark gray.

Those are just a couple things i could see done, awesome again mang!

the grunging may be a little too pronounced, but I like how hard the black text is against the yellow back
