Go honey bunny! <3
it looks so cute, i love it
Thank you everyone for rating! Please pass this along to all your friends!! THANK YOU THANK YOU : D
this is by far the best background I ever seen
Thank You! that’s really kind, thank you haha : )
ok, this is good and everything but it doesn’t really deserve to win..
I think it deserves to win. If it didn’t, it wouldn’t have as many votes nor high ratings as it does.
Actually she could have a shit load of friends.. Doesnt really mean shit =]. I think it sucks compared to some others who dont have as many.
I don’t think this is a good twitter page, it would be fine for a fan; but for The All American Rejects…
Isn’t this a bit too simple?
you call yourself a fan? well ur background doesnt look like it.
Opinions.
IMO, it deserves to win.
I believe the comments are supposed to be for “Constructive Criticism.” You may have opinions about what you think about this design, but if they do not help the creator in any way keep them to yourselves and your “shit load of friends.” Sometimes the most simplistic things are the things that stand out the most. You have to keep in mind that she put time into this, and I don’t think you would want people insulting the things you have made without any input on the matter. If you don’t like the design then don’t vote, you don’t need to put comments putting her down.
I’m going to write some constructive criticism. Truely the page has no color, the page needs to stand out and yell. The All-American Rejects; frankly, would not like it. No offense. It doesn’t express their passion. It needs color, something that makes it stand out. I’ve seen quite a few other ones that stand out; for example, one by Janice Gasper. I honestly think that having her “shit load of friends”, is what is getting her this far. I can see maybe being third but not to be putting her down I really don’t see this winning. Sorry.
Kim, I like your input, but honestly, how would YOU or anyone else really know what the AAR like? Colors will just make any design flashy and “stand out.” This is called a back ground for a reason, because it is meant to stay in the background. Did you notice how on Janice Gasper’s design, it is just one image repeated 6 times, depending on how the web designers lay it out, it will be their faces repeated through out the entire webpage. This design here, will not overshadow anything they would put on their webpage, and if they lock the picture still to stay the same even if you scroll down, it would be repeated at all. The picture in this design is the same picture was Ms. Gasper’s design, but this has been changed to black and white. If you know about Photography, then you would know a making a “black and white” picture look good is difficult. Having a color picture will make the colors stand out no matter what, but for a black and white photo, the tone is what plays the key point in making a picture stand out.
Kim sounds desperately jealous
Actually, Kim, if it didn’t deserve to win, it wouldn’t have such a high averaged rating. And it’s not cool to bash on people like that…it just makes you sound jealous.
I think this design is awesome. Whoever you are, Monica, I’m glad you won!
Whoa whoa whoooaaa…what’s with my name all over the comments?? I wasn’t going to reply to this (because this is just lame and a waste of my time) but I just had to.
First off, “Ando” whoever you are, please don’t talk about my “repeated 6 times” design like you know it all. There is a reason why it is “one image” that is repeated multiple times. This winning layout by Monicato (congrats by the way) was designed on a “fixed width” - I’m guessing 800px. Many of the submissions on here are like this as well. These people probably didn’t read the “tips” on the contest rule page or maybe didn’t understand it but it clearly says: “Multiple resolutions will be viewing the backgrounds.”
This winning layout (as well as many others) looks really off on higher resolution screens. You cannot center your background on Twitter because they do not offer any html editing. This is why Twitter backgrounds are either “repeated,” have designs only on one side, or are just one whole big image.
And trust me honey, making a picture black and white look “good” is not hard at all.
Oh and P.S.
If you’re gonna type my name out, at least SPELL it correctly. And if there’s anyone that should have won this contest, it should’ve been Josh Hemsley. He did amazing. The way this contest determines the winner isn’t really legit. AAR should have the last say in the winning design.
I so agree with Kim. I don’t understand why this design has so many votes. And it’s true, this design doesn’t respect all screen size as Janice said. I have a big screen size too and i can’t see the photo on the right so that’s why i didn’t like it . I think it doesn’t look professional. @imaderejectstv (?) was so great, it really deserves to win but well, I suppose the teenagers who rate don’t have the same sense of design…I really wonder what does the band think about it because it’s gonna be on their twitter for a while…
anyway bravo to @monicato….prizes are so cool…. but honestly i won’t be proud that my fav band will have a page designed like this.
also the 2nd and 3rd winners aren’t that great….
I love AAR they are so awesome
