+ Background blends well with the render, color seems to be right on as well as matching the texture of the render.
- The text looks like it is just thrown in and doesnt really fit into the design which takes away from the overall look of the image.
Barker
+ Very unique and creative way of using the render, a color and design that I didnt expect.
- Not really fond of the white bar in the middle
- The cloud/smoke over the render is a bit thick and distracting IMO
Well I had a few more issues with Barkers design than Malks but the creative use of the render and design of Barkers I think put it over the top for me. While Malks was well balanced and a solid design expect for the text I enjoyed Barkers creative use of the render in the design. If it wasnt for the text on Malks I would give the win to him but the winner of this duel is Barker.
I couldn't fit the text in, no matter how many different ways I tried it, so I just went with what you could see. Styles, color, font, nothing I had would show up on it >_<
