WoW Poster Competition - Winners!

Posted 26th Aug 2008 06:47 PM by Maticus

It’s been a long process, and we had loads of images to look at and mull over, but we’ve finally decided on the top 5 entries in our WoW Movie Poster competition!

The level of quality in the posters was outstanding, and it was very hard to decide between them. A huge thanks to everyone who participated, and if your entry didn’t make it into the top five, don’t be disappointed - if we had more beta keys to give away I could have easily picked another 30 or more people to award them to!

Ok, on with the results - Here are the winning 5 posters! From top left, congratulations to Candaloo, wHt, Raytheon, E and Nelthion!

I will contact each of the winners above by PM about their prizes shortly. Congratulations! All the competition entries can now be seen in the competition gallery.

Honorable Mentions

I’d like to mention these guys and their posters (see links) too, as they were only just pipped to the post by the winning five above. Fantastic efforts!

Sethamun, Crowne, Sabianz and Khatum.

I’m going to be the sore loser here and have a go at 2 of the 5 winners.

1) Take cinematic stil
2) Add ****ty, thoughtless typography
3) ???????
4) Profit

I knew I shouldn’t have wasted my time on this as I’ve told my friends before I even started: odds are the "jury" are complete tits when it comes to design. But I figured it was worth the shot.

I’m happy my personal favourites got a key though, have fun with it Candaloo and wHt.

Oh, and the only posters I’d hang up are those of Candaloo, wHt and Khatum, the rest are pretty much lame attempts at design and if Blizzard didn’t release the cinematic this week, 2 of those reet posters wouldn’t even be submitted. GG.


/elitism

Or nor, one more thing.

If blizzard didn’t release concept-art or cinematics and all, 4 of the winners wouldn’t even have submitted anything. In my humble opinion, when juding something has to do with art and design, judges should judge how much effort the artist put into it. 4 of the posters were created by others and chopped up by the "artist" who then took the price/goods. If this was a real world, lawsuits would be heading their way.
