7 is fantastic! Collected a bunch of previous elements – then that whitespace.. very cool … and even got a laugh in there.

Really enjoying this match…

Though it just cost me a fortune

Put a unicorn in the middle of #10 and you’ve got a sweet myspace page. (Granted, one with phenomenal vector skills as a base.. but nonetheless).

It occurs to me that when you’ve got two artists with such similar styles – they can’t engage one another. Last week, Inman and Cornell pushed each other out of their respective comfort zones – with very interesting results (both good and bad). But this week – not so much.

I love the work both of these guys do – but the match didn’t grab me. I’ll be glued again next week though.

@RevFelling nailed it “TON of talent here, but no strategy. Like watching the home run derby…”

oop.. #5 just appeared and is a little more interesting for me… a theme emerging?

looking forward to this! – quite different from last week. (though Matthew starts a few points in the hole for a site that resized my browser…!)

interesting how wide-ranging the opinions are. I gotta go with Shaun, though I had to do this to decide . Interesting to look at them all at once. Shaun is much more consistent in his style which may be good or bad. For me Kevin peaked at #2 (it’s my favorite conceptually), but Shaun rolled with #8 and #10..

love the final shot! Lots of old elements, but back to the web page concept – 4oh4. Very good. Definitely two different styles – that was fun to watch (even though I’ll now be working this weekend..)

now this is something! the colors back from #1 and #2, the chaos of the paper (from #7) criss-crossed with the rigidity of the transparent grid… that was worth the wait.

I’ve had my gravatar for years. Go figure.

I’m a volley behind but… I thought Inman’s was quite good – it brought it back full circle to the original – with a little cleverness thrown in. Cornell’s red monster isn’t doing much for me – though it serves up a new palette and open space for the next shot.

wow. when this began I wasn’t sure if they would basically tweak the starter graphic, or go sailing through the idea-universe. Definitely sailing.
