Before I begin I would like to make a public apology to all my fellow DP fans. It has been a difficult 年 for me, and I haven’t been doing very well with keeping up with my 图标 contests, especially this one. Thus, only about half of the months were finished. I am very sorry, and I have made some adjustments that should help me do a better job of staying accountable. Thank 你 for understanding.
Now, with that aside, I am pleased and honored to announce the 图标 that 你 fellow DP 粉丝 voted, out of countless entries, the best 图标 of 2014!
* Drum Roll *
“Breaking Free” made 由 snsdlover4ever!!
Congratulations!!!
I am also proud to announce the 秒 and third best 图标 of 2014!
2nd place goes to fanlovver with her 图标 “Can 你 Paint with all the 颜色 of the Wind?”
And last but not least, in 3rd place came “I See the Light” created 由 euny!
Congratulations to the three winners, as well as the countless other participants! All the 图标 were amazing!
I would like to 列表 the honorable mentions, the winners of each month!
(The 前一个 three not included)
March - juliemontoya “Cinderella”
June – fanlovver "Just Around the River Bend”
October – nmdis “Dream it Out Loud”
September – euny “Jasmine”
As 你 can see in the screenshot at the bottom of the article, some interesting things went down. There was originally a tie between fanlovver’s icon, and snsdlover4ever’s icon. I had to do a tie breaker, which was still very close, and when it ended snsdlover4ever’s 图标 won at 53% and fanlovver’s at 48%!
Now, an interview with the winner!
Please Welcome snsdlover4ever!!
~ About snsdlover4ever ~
Q: When did 你 join?
A: I joined on the first 日 of January in the 年 2014 (which seems like it's been ages for me ><)
Q: Why did 你 join?
A: Since I'm an avid 韩流 fan, I noticed that the 论坛 on my then-favorite 韩流 group were full of activity and people who were into the same stuff I was in. It seemed like a new and fun experience for me to try.
Q: How did 你 pick your username?
A: I went with the first name I thought of. Girls Generation, 或者 SNSD for short, was my 最喜爱的 group and I thought they would still be my 收藏夹 today. Now that I think about it, I wish I had thought of a better username.
Q: What is your 最喜爱的 Princess?
A: I'm very fickle when it comes to choosing a 最喜爱的 out of the Princesses, mainly because of the many, MANY discussions/debates that other users have instigated. They usually bring out a new perspective of a certain Princess that I never seemed to notice. I'd say I'm fairly neutral about all of them; I view them all as characters that strive for perfection, but are stopped 由 a major flaw of theirs, which I think is relatable to me in a sense.
~ About the icon: ~
Q: What program did 你 use?
A: I only used Pixlr Express. Out of all the things I've made, this one was the simplest and easiest 图标 I've ever made.
Q: How did 你 name it?
A: Since Ariel was breaking out of the ocean, I thought it would be a suitable name.
Q: Is it a 最喜爱的 of yours?
A: I'd say it is. I honestly thought that there were other 图标 that had better quality than what I had made, but I'm grateful that people actually enjoyed the simplicity of it.
Q: What gave 你 the idea?
A: During summer, I had a phase where I would 编辑 lots and lots of screencaps, so I stumbled upon this one and decided to use it, and threw in some overlays. I then decided that I wanted to 提交 it as an entry for your contest, since I actually had time to partake in it.
Q: Are 你 going to keep entering icons?
A: Hopefully I can. I can tell that I've gotten much better at making them, and it's always been fun to make them once in a while. The only things that get in the way are my laziness to scroll through tons of screencaps, and the fact that 潮流粉丝俱乐部 has ruined the desktop version on my phone.
Q: How long have 你 been making icons?
A: A little less than a year.
Q: What was your first one? & Can 你 describe it?
A: Well, I made a 《冰雪奇缘》 编辑 based on the scene with the reprise of FTFTIF. The only thing I can say to describe it is that it turned out better than I thought it would.
Q: What is your favorite?
A: I'm not too sure what my 最喜爱的 图标 is. I've made lots, so it's hard to choose just one.
Q: How are 你 feeling about winning 图标 of the year?
A: I still feel overwhelmed and grateful that I chose to enter in the contest. I'm glad I took this opportunity, and after some stiff competition, I'm thankful to all of the users of the DP club, since this is where I started editing, and I don't think I'll ever stop.
