Weekly overview of the Graphics category - Week 48, 2018

This post is a short overview of the last week in reviews in the graphics category of Utopian. I cover the review week from November 22 to November 29 unless otherwise specified.

Previous posts:

• Week 47 (missing)
• Week 46
• Week 45
• Week 44

Category summary:

• There were total 8 submissions, 6 of them were reviewed and scored higher than 0
• Contributions were submitted by 5 unique designers
• The average score of these 6 contributions is 51.3

Contributions

Contributor	Title	Score
@mansyaprime	New Logo for Blue Deman App	32
@midun	Logo Design For Bankeeper	39
@camiloferrua	Logo Design The Amanuensis	81
@richardbmx	Logo design for RANTLY	42
@mansyaprime	New Logo for AppListManager	57
@zuur	Logo Design for Elephant	57

You can see in the table above that only one of the submitted designs received a high score of 80+. Majority of those contributors found their tasks through GitHub. Project maintainers were satisfied with the final results. Even though an appreciation of the projects' owners is essential, we can see that it does not make the designs better than others.

All of the contributions listed above were reviewed by our reviewer @baranpirincal. He added tips to improve the designs in his reviews. @oups has been helping with verifying the originality of proposed designs. We have seen many times that some of the designers were heavily inspired by existing designs, which made it difficult to understand an added value.

Although it didn't happen this week, I can't forget to repeat that everyone who wants to participate in the Utopian community and has their work reviewed by us should submit original work and not claim the authorship (ownership) of a piece of work that was made by someone else. That applies to work outside Utopian as well. Another point to mention is that some of the designers are trying too hard to propose their work just for the reason to submit it to Utopian. Remember, you don't do the work for Utopian. You do it for yourselves, and the posts are a medium to share your experience, skills and is a way for you to get feedback from others.

Logo Design The Amanuensis by @camiloferrua

This particular design was submitted to a task submitted by @to-the-sun. The designer did a good job. However, we may see a few minor issues with the presentation as all the variations make a long sequence of images. That may feel a bit repetitive. One can see it in the last section of the submission and compare for themselves. One more point to highlight is that displaying the designs in an outline mode does not work well as the "proof of authorship".

Design Tasks

We can't forget to bring new tasks for you. Although they weren't submitted in this review week, we would like to see our community to take part.

FPL Plus needs a logo! by @amosbastian

Amos has been working on a browser extension to enhance the UX of FPL fans. He has made excellent progress with that, and it is time to work on a logo to make people remember his extension easily.
