I am marking this 15 minutes earlier then I said...and I'm not going to lie to you as to why that is...it's because I'm bored and thought I'd take a break from playing COD4 for a bit.

Thankyou for all of your wonderful entries - I loved all of them! I was amazed at the diversity of designs recieved during this competition and the interest in the thread itself.

I had a hard time judging the top 3 as all were so good, however below is the list I have come up with as the top 3 so enjoy.

1st Place - He672
With a bold entry that was clear in detail, displaying all the information without overloading the brain with infomation, I award He672 first place.
Using a greyscale background with the coloured pictures and logos made them stand out that much more and I thought it to look very professionally made. Well Done! (below is He672's entry)

2nd Place - Dienamickz
Closely followed was Dienamickz with his entry. Using a wide array of effects, Dienamickz has pulled off a well made poster that emphasises the idea of a Sims community by using various characters from the Sims 3 series on his poster.
This very nearly won 1st place however it was slightly let down by the clarity of the font used (which I felt may not be clear enough for passers by - unlike He672's font which was bold, large and clear enough to see whilst walking along in a busy street).
In addition to this some of the cropping of pictures weren't as good as they could have been leaving white patches around the hair line of Brianna. (below is Dienamickz's entry)

3rd Place - JohnnyDeppLuva
Coming in alalala place is our trusty friend JohnnyDeppLuva giving us a poster, which although simple in design and layout, accomplishes the task set in an effective manor - well done.
The only downfall of this poster was the look was slightly less professional then that of Dienamickz and He672 as you did not soften the edges to the cut outs (found to the right of the poster), however regardless of this, I still feel you did very well. (below is JohnnyDeppLuva's entry)

A special thanks to those who took part and well done to the top 3, especially He672 who came 1st.
