I HOPE YOU DON'T THINK THIS IS SOUR GRAPES i know i am nowhere good enough to win one of these comps but i feel 1 and 3 stuck to the rules as for number 2. I would say the majority of it was taken from somewhere else
What do you think i looked at the rules long and hard thats why i don't have any graphics on it just Text and the sixties colour thing going on
Just thought i should say what i think
i do love you number 2 who ever you are really

I see what you're saying andy but when i said "must be your own work", i meant not getting a picture and just sticking text on it. I think i'm right when i say that (please correct me if i'm wrong) when making graphics, it can still be regarded as all your own work when you have taken an image from elsewhere and added it to a sig, as there is alot of work that goes into cutting it out and blending it etc.
Otherwise, if we say it has to be totally and utterly your own work, then we'd get into having to make our own brushes, fonts etc and thats not where we want to go.. unless people are that dedicated
And to be honest, i dont know why you're picking out just #2, as 1 and 3 also have images
