Hello everybody! Once again there are new faces in Best Graphic Designer this time around. Christmas, Rengori, DK and Her Majesty's Agent Umaro werent nominated last time, and the only people who were are Rye, ff7+ff10 gurl 100 and Owen Macwere. My comments on the ones that stayed will be similar to those of last time, since not that much has changed.
Christmas is a wizard at MS Paint. When it comes to MS Paint, I think most of us agree that its as good as impossible to draw anything that looks like.... erm well, anything, but for some unkown reason Christmas seems to enjoy it and so has developed a nifty ability to draw some damn good pictures. If people realize the work that goes into those drawings, then Christmas should be a contendor to reckon with, but the main thing is, if you dont vote for her, your head will probably be chopped off.
Owen Macwere. Well what can I say? He picks up praise like a sponge picks up water, and rightly so, but I doubt he will stop there. No, he will continue until he rules the whole forum, then he will turn us all into slaves and sell us to the best buyer. Anyway, I doubt there really needs to be much said about Owen, as pretty much everyone knows his work already.
ff7+ff10 gurl 100. She is better than last year, and last year she came in second as far as I remember. So a force to be reckoned with. She usually creates sigs of her favourite bands and the like. She has, with hard work, been producing top quality signatures, and makes use of all sorts of brushes and filters and vibrant colours.
Rye. Well, the same from last year applies to her this year. She is an amazing graphic designer. Rye is the winner of the Best Graphic Designer loads of Ciddies in 2005 and 2006, dont ask me about ciddies before that, since I never visited these awards before that. She usually wins by a large amount of votes, and never stops creating work and improving. The question everyone is asking is, can she be beaten?
Rengori, DK and Her Majesty's Agent Umaro are all very new to graphic design, well actually, I have no idea whether Her Majesty's Agent Umaro is new to graphic design or not, I was not able to find any work from him

but im sure he must be good in order to be nominated for Best Graphic Designer. Lets hope the newcomers put up a close fight!
Well, that was it for my presentation speech. It was pretty hard to find anything to comment on, I think the winter season has robbed people of their motivation (I know that is the case for me, since my signature thread is lost somewhere on the 5th page I think. The veterans havnt made many more since last Ciddies, and the newcomers have only made a few in total.
On an ending note, I would just like to say I really hope that people do not use this award as a popularity contest, because its too much of a shame to waste a perfectly good idea like Best Graphic Designer. Keep it fair!
