YOUR votes are in. The Grand prize winner of the #FuturGOTChallenge is... Kento Yoshida! This guy showed up to every challenge with multiple entries that were always solid. Congrats for taking the lead with 15 total points from all 3 rounds. Also, shout out to the runner ups, it was a very close race: Lillian Figeroa, Newton Llorente, Jason Tucker, and Kendra Willford. Thank you, everyone, who participated and grew from the experience. What kind of challenge should we do next?
I really enjoyed the stream today, I feel really honored to have made it into the top five. I was SO excited to work on this submission. Honestly the research itself is a great part of the fun for me. Thanks so much @the futur academy for all of your info and especially the critiques you give. These challenges are so fun and inspiring. They mean a lot to me.
For the Tyrell poster, I think that in the middle is Margaery and the two kings next to her are Joffrey and Tommen, which she was married to (she was a really good manipulator) and that green mark is the wildfire because of what she died caused by Cersei.
I'm feeling really bummed out right now, but it was a great learning experience. I will use it to keep getting better. Thanks for the opportunity it was a fun ride.
Awesome project to work on and brilliant stream once again! Buzzing to have made the top 5 and thank you for the critique on all of the entries, I picked up lots of tips yet again :)
The top 5 have been chosen. Now you can vote for the winner of this round, so we can tally up all the points and announce the grand prize winner: futur.shortstack.com/TCg917
Any word on the winner? Just curious. Unrelated question: how do I get to these things BEFORE they're over? I'd love to submit work for feedback and/ or just watch live. Great feedback. And since the GOT challenged seemed like a great exercise, so I designed house Stark sigil and wordmark in my spare time & am working through a poster. I like them, but it would have been great to know what Chris and Matt thought. That said, I really love the Futur & everything u have on RUclips. Keep up the work.
I should have worked harder on this but even then i couldn't compete with those awesome designers, illustrations and posters are not in my area of expertise but i had to participate and try new things with this great community the FUTUR has created. I really appreciate you guys for having me in the FUTUR and being part of this is more than enough thank you guys and good luck for the top 5
Interesting submissions! I love being able to "sit in" on these critiques. So much valuable content here! Taking notes to apply to my own work. Will participate in your next challenge. I realize it takes tons of behind-the-scenes work to do these contests. Thank you all! Much appreciated 👏
I was a bit confused at the comments made toward the flat designs like the design from Kyle Daily. It’s a design style and was a nice break from the gradients, etc. it’s important in our criticisms that we aren’t only keeping our personal preferences in mind.
It was a choice based on lack of time, to be honest. Can't argue with how it makes them feel, which is a little underwhelmed. It was an ambitious scene to depict, and I would have rather done it like Agnieszka's Tyrell given the time and resources.
It was fun working on this project. 👍 It is Robert Baratheon during his glory days and it was depicting the battle where he kills Rhaegar Targaryen. A friend mentioned Robert's Warhammer and that lead me to read about the Battle of The Trident and Robert's Rebellion. I think I enjoyed the research more so than the design itself. 😁 It made me want to pick up the books. Thank you for the feedback.
@@TheFuturAcademy lol, no worries. I just like to geek out sometimes. I'm surrounded by hardcore GoT fans who analyse anything in detail. Yesterday at work they were having a heated debate about the show's end while I was watching this stream.
This was a lot of fun! Thanks for the feed back. I didnt realize my designs appeared so dark because my monitors have them lit up more, wish I had know so I could have made an adjustment. I do also want to mention that in your design brief video you did not mention using the wordmark or sigil, which is why I think people didnt include it. I realize it is in your written rules and I should have read that as well. But lesson learned for the next challenge. Thanks you to all the people at The Futur for doing this!
I think maybe the second one is Gendry the bastard Baratheon.. He is lean and young and the horned helmet was significant for him plus he's a blacksmith... Hence the ax. But I see the yound Robert Baratheon in war perception as will... Curious to which the deaigner intended. On the third one... Really good suggestion creating depth and adding mystery guys... Great critique.
Kinda sad that the Tyrell landscape poster didn't get into the top 5. I really like that one. I know it's missing some depth, but it was beautiful and has some The Legend of Zelda vibes that I love.
I think the poster by Alex buttler has quite meaning in there. I think the lady in the centre ie Margery Tyrell and on right of her is Jofery ( recognised him from his posture in the poster, similar to the show ) and on left of her is Tommen ( Jofery's brother ) and this is because she married both of them. The green texture in the background is wildfire in which Margery died.
They said minimalistic poster but a lot of the improvements they were suggesting were very details heavy, is that just me? I feel like I don’t know what minimalism is anymore lol
Agnieszka Grochalska's was so good they had zero critique of it lol. The only thing they had was it was no drama, but literally every other house had violent drama and these were the farmer knights providing food for everyone and prospering crops with rolling fields, considering this was supposed to be a contest for the Great House as a whole and the only entry standing out as highlighting the house's peaceful flourish aspect, I think the guys had bias toward flashy guy juice movie pow action things. The poster perfectly matched the slogan and every aspect and requirement, it isn't just a pretty picture, but the elements were balanced and placed as best as they could graphic designer-wise. did they want some imagery showing how Tyrell always sided with the winning team and flew too close to the sun and got burned and showing lots of burning crops for drama twist? That wouldn't be embodying the essence of the Great House as a whole and DEF not matching the "Growing strong" slogan of the house so I felt that the judges strayed from their own terms. The key is designing a poster for the whole house and not just a select few of quirky characters that stand out from the house. I don't think the critique did the great feat justice, esp how flawlessly the sigil and wordmark and slogan matched the poster theme. Well that is my take on it and I only bothered to write it out because I respect and appreciate the Futur's contribution to the design world a lot. I'm not saying it to promo conflict or make anyone angry but I feel like my reaction to it has a lot of valid reasoning and people don't have telepathy and wouldn't be informed of these things for consideration unless I had the courage to type it.
He was talking about the similarity in your name and Valyria in the show. Valryian steel was used to make the best swords. It was from a place well before the Game of thrones story. In the books the Targaryens came from Valyria.
Why do people post these pics through for these guys to pointlessly critique? Half these designs are good enough to carry their own. And some of the critique for the flat designs is flat out counter productive. "This feels a little too digital arty, too vector". 🤦♂️ jesus christ

Didn't get accepted to school back here in Sweden, This channel is legit educating me!
Thanks y'all!

Please do Black Mirror Design challange
I'm feeling really bummed out right now, but it was a great learning experience. I will use it to keep getting better. Thanks for the opportunity it was a fun ride.
everything is a learning opportunity. stay out of the results and you'll enjoy the ride William.
@@MatthewEncina Thank you Matthew, I learned a great deal and had fun.
Holy moly, that House Tully one was absolutely amazing. My work schedule killed me working on this...but that House Tully one is amazing.

Make sure to update it in the video description; you still have the link to the wordmark.
@@9KoubA2 Good catch

I believe the green in the House Tyrell poster is representing the wildfire explosion caused by Cersei
oh. good catch.

check your gamma or luminance curves to verify.
@@TheFuturAcademy Awesome! Will do, thank you!

On the third one... Really good suggestion creating depth and adding mystery guys... Great critique.
The green at 24:55 is quick fire. Which Cersei used to blow the sept and the whole Tyrell house with it.

6:17 robert baratheon ?
That last House Tully one is definitely a reference to the red wedding.
I really love love love the 2nd design.

Agnieszka did get snuffed. That was the most beautiful poster in the bunch.
I got overly excited when Mathew read my name in 14:50 😂 but I'm confused by Chris' reaction. What Valeria is he talking about there? 🤔
He was talking about the similarity in your name and Valyria in the show. Valryian steel was used to make the best swords. It was from a place well before the Game of thrones story. In the books the Targaryens came from Valyria.
@@Dale_youngblood Ooh, I see! Thank you for clarifying! I haven't watched GoT or read any of the books and got very confused.
The second poster; I think he's one of the founders of House Baratheon, not Gendry.
That's a scene when robert baratheon killed the targayrean prince.
Some very nice posters there, also some bad ones, still great work all in all.
21:38 mathew greatest hype man
wow i thought this was a current episode because of the mask haha
for gods sake! that was Robert in the battle of the Trident!
Was kinda annoyed by most of the critics s. Especially since you guys didn’t know much about the show.
Why do people post these pics through for these guys to pointlessly critique? Half these designs are good enough to carry their own. And some of the critique for the flat designs is flat out counter productive. "This feels a little too digital arty, too vector". 🤦♂️ jesus christ
Guys the suspense is terrible!!
Announcing soon
if the sword was inside the mouth of the wolf as if he's holding it maybe
