Hey! So here are a couple of mocks I've been practicing on. Please let me know if they seem ok!

No matter how HQ of a picture I find whenever I resize them to 100 x 100 they end up like this and it's driving me crazy.

i'm not AT so i can't judge on the quality of the pictures, but one problem is that the corners of your badges shouldn't be jagged and have those dark edges (it's easier to see if you open the image on a new tab). the rounded edges are also wrong; they should be 20px and i think you made them 10?

Hey! So here are a couple of mocks I've been practicing on. Please let me know if they seem ok!

No matter how HQ of a picture I find whenever I resize them to 100 x 100 they end up like this and it's driving me crazy.

First of all, they all have bad corners (should be 20x20px in Photoshop or 40x40px in Photoscape) with some weird dark edges (can be best seen on the top of the Arin badge) and almost all, other than maybe the Yooa badge, are poorly cropped.

1. Bad crop (should be pushed up so she's not so low, straightened and also centered a bit more); also would need recoloring as her face is too pale.
2. Bad crop (should be pushed up) and also needs recoloring.
3. Bad crop (should be pushed up and straightened, maybe zoomed in a bit) and needs major recoloring, she's deadly pale.
4. Bad crop (needs to be zoomed in and maybe straightened) and also needs recoloring.
5. Bad crop (needs to be pushed to the top, her chin is literally touching the edge of the badge and probably zoomed in) and needs recoloring as she's too pale.
6. I know that this is how the original picture looks so this would probably pass crop-wise but it still needs some recoloring.
7. Bad crop (needs to be pushed to the top, her chin is touching the edge) and needs recoloring.
8. Bad crop (needs to be pushed to the right and zoomed in); probably needs some minor coloring fixing as well.

Quality-wise I actually would say that they're mostly alright! (The only one that looks slightly LQ is the Yooa one and I'd sharpen 1, 2, 4 and the last one a bit more but very lightly)
I hope it helps!

Thanks for both of the feedback! I'll try to edit them and make them better!

So we have a problem in Oh My Girl voting thread
We are suggesting mocks for OMG Banhana but people are wondering about the pixelated aesthetics of them
Banhana concept is based on video game therefore their logo is pixelated but we are worried that Award Team may not approve the mocks because AT will think it looks LQ while it's not

If that's the aesthetic of the logo then there should be no problem, just take into account that some mocks might still get rejected if the quality is too poor.

what is the correct size for the mock (100x100?) and round corner ratio? can't find this info in any of the pinned threads

edit: well someone answered just above, but still it would be nice to have this written somewhere

Noted! Don't forget that next time you get another form for another badge you need to notify us via this thread! Good luck with the voting!

i have another question

if an user bought an award form to contribute in the nct otp voting thread, can they keep it and i post here saying that they have the form, or am i the only one allowed to keep the forms since i'm the thread op?

for example, i have 5 forms now. if RenjunSlays bought a form and keep it so we can vote on a 6th otp, can i just quote my post and say that they own a form, or should i be the one keeping all of the award forms?

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask but I want to keep TXT members' badges and I don't know if i'll have enough badges. I'm guessing I'll have enough posts to keep the group badge by the time it's available but can I be listed as a keeper for other members as well? Or do I need enough posts to be listed as a keeper in the first place?

Hi! Yes, to be a keeper means you have to have enough posts to get the badge or have a badge you can swap for it when the badge gets uploaded in the system. However, if you are, for example, 10 posts away from a badge and know you’ll be very active it would be ok to list yourself as a keeper! Hope this make sense, it’s early here

oh yeah I got it! I've been pretty active so far and I think I'll have enough posts for three more badges soon so I'm gonna go ahead and be a keeper lol Thank you!

Is something like this allowed?

 

[Mina]

Is something like this allowed?

Hmm I’m afraid I’d say no, they are heavily filtered and a closer crop would be recommended! The eyes being shut could be a problem too.

I was not sure about the eyes and filter. Going to discard them and adding other pics instead, thank you :hearteu:

Someone mentioned that keepers / supporters aren't needed for OTP badges. Is that correct?

 

[Mina]

Correct It would be an advantage if the badge had at least 2+ users when it's actually in the system but you don't need to collect keepers/supporters in the voting thread.
