Background Blitz! The Tower (ends October 5th)

[xenophon]

This was a tough call...

IDEA - Loominous
ATMOSPHERE - Ben304
COMPOSITION -  Loominous
FUNCTIONALITY - Misj'

[Shane 'ProgZmax' Stevens]

Idea:  Ben304.  This was a tough category for me because none of the entries stood out as particularly innovative or took an interesting spin on the topic.  Still, Ben's run down metal tower seemed the most interesting to me of the lot.

Atmosphere:  Misj.  There's a lot of wonderful scenery and colors and strange shapes to focus on with this background, giving it a lot of flavor compared to the other entries.

Composition:  Ben304.  I love the stark color choice and depth created inside the tower. 

Functionality:  Loominous.  This is probably the first time I've given Loominous a vote for functionality, but here I feel it's well deserved.  Compared to the other backgrounds and particularly in comparison to Ben's and Xenophon's entries, Loominous's background makes great and ample use of walkable areas and interactive sections with clearly marked exits.  The other entries would 'work' in theory but their spaces are all very confined.

Thanks again everyone for all the awesome entries, I think was a really good turnout. I certainly enjoyed it.

I for one will definitely be competing.
