OcUK Christmas Graphics Challenge

haha yeah thats a bit bare, im taking graphic design at uni so thats eating up a lot of my time, if people want I can post up some of my work for that in the graphics forum later and ill update my deviantart.

Oh and mks is right, xara 3d was used for the type, brought into photoshop for the placement/editing and airbrushing in the shadows. Photoshop aswell for the rest of it :)

Did you go straight from college to uni, or did you do a foundation first?

I think I've got a book cover you did for uni on my computer somewhere - Reactions, IIRC. hah, I sound like a right stalker - I had it as my desktop for ages, that's the only reason. honest :o

Samione, can you make the background (corners) white please?
 
Nope was 8.30am today, id say Samione's won it :)

Sic - lol thats cool, didnt think anyone would want that as a desktop though! Cheers :)

Samione - I did a foundation year at college 'cause I was a screwup at school and didn't get decent a-levels, it didnt teach me much except I hate textiles and 3d work ;)

Ahh that's a shame- we just had a talk from the local college that does art and design foundations near where I am and the course looked like a lot of fun, i'm hoping to do that first then uni.

Here's the updated designs. Black and red just incase :p

Its probably because my local college is pretty awful, its good in that you get to test out a lot of different areas and then decide which discpline you want to go into. Just that i'd used photoshop just as a hobby for a long time before then so the digital classes were seriously boring for me...
 
Im looking at going to uni to do a foundation year and get onto a graphic design course, but im having trouble finding a decent uni that offers one ! lol.

Well done to the winrar tho !
 
Some absolutely superb entries and a big thank you to all those who took part.

It was a close call but all things considered these are the winners :-
