Judges
Below (in the spoilers) are the scores and reasonings behind why the judges gave this score.
TheLadybug: 10/10 - I loved that you kept it to one theme, heck even one stage at that. I adore how clean the gifs are, no pixelization is glorious to see in a gif set.
ghostings: 9/10 - aww she looks like she did not want to take the ears off and put the pig on. Same girl same, let me keep the Pikachu ears. Again a very clean set of gifs. The main gif for your PFP is so cute, I want to steal it lol. I would have just rearranged the order of them in the set on your signature a bit.
SeniorKpopper: 8/10 AHHHHHH SANA. Okay cannot be bias toward seeing my bias. I liked the gifs you chose for your signature but they are used a lot, I did like the unique choice for your PFP and how clean they are though
horizonshard: 5/10 I was hoping to see a pfp change for the competition. Your signature confuses me but it is clean cut and unique. It is not something I would look at and think it is aesthetic though sadly
kittykitka: 7/10 more sana???????????????? Okay well I am not sad to see more Sana by any means, I am laughing so hard that you put the "Is Sana Gay?" in your signature, I was mildly hoping you would have the gif of here singing and it sounding like "I'm so gay" but overall it is a nice set, I just wish the gif in your signature was not so pixelated. Still love you though
t-swiftie: 5/10 PFP is cute but I am mildly disappointed you did not go for a full Twice set for the competition
irenesbadboy: 6/10 that PFP is so cute! your text in your signature is very nice but your gifs are very very pixelated and grainy also your first gif is cut off very weirdly which makes it hard to see as I tend to be distracted by the random black bar that is only on that one gif and the spacing of the gifs is all over.
kooxgalaxy: 10/10 I love this set, all of your GIFs are clean cut and loop very well also you made a very cohesive set and the coloring is consistent on all of them from your pfp to all 3 gifs for your signature. Very clean, well done.
ripia: 8/10 I love the beachy feel of your set. the gifs are very clean and the quote is very well written and the gradient adds to the beachy feel!
SanaLovesMe: 8/10 your PFP will never change lol, I adore the gif of the "ONCES ASSEMBLE" and how you used the avengers endgame scene I am sad the gif is a bit pixelated. But overall the effort you put in makes up for any compression issues with the gif.
Yunathehomegirl: 9/10 THIS SET IS SO CUTE. The choices in the most recent comeback that is coming next week is a nice touch, the gifs are a little pixely but overall the cohesiveness of the gifs with the quote and the pfp of Momo make for a great setup.
*scores are beneath their reasonings
TheLadybug:
I never said them, but TheLadybug is a user that always catch my attention aesthetics-wise and this time It wasn't different. Really great choice of gifs for PFP and signature, the quality of them is very good too, just like the matching of colors in the text with the groups' names and DTNA's phrase.
Score: 10
ghostings:
Dahyun is so cute, we must protect! Honestly, the gif ghostings used for PFP was so eye-catching that I kept looking at Dahyun's cuteness and for a moment I forgot I was judging, lmao. I love how they matched both dp and sig too. My only complain is that the DP could have a bit more of quality, maybe It was too big to be resized.
Score: 8
SeniorKpopper:
Both PFP and the sig are pretty! But the aesthetic don't match. If there's a meaning behind the chose of both together, I think I've failed to understand.
Score: 6
horizonshard:
I love it so much! If "Taste of Love" itself has a reference of "What Is Love?", then horizonshared also did a great and creative job referecing other TWICE songs in the aesthetics for the new comeback too!
Score: 10
kittykitka:
I really like the Feel Special's Sana gifs for both the PFP and Sig, also the attention for the colors in the text used to match the aesthetic, just like the reference for "Is Sana Gay?" on them.
Score: 8
t-swiftie:
I wish t-swiftie had put a bit more of effort in the aesthetics, since It's just a simple photo as PFP. Maybe keep working on the TWICEcoaster/TT's aesthetics (?) It would be nice!
Score: 2
irenesbadboy:
I think It was a creative idea to focus on an aesthetic for TWICE's 2020 korean releases!
But I want to say two things: I think It would match better If the More&More gif in the Sig was with Nayeon as center, so It could follow the PFP, I Can't Stop Me and Cry For Me gifs' path. Second, the quality of the photo and the gifs in the sig could be better too.
Score: 5
kooxgalaxy:
I don't have too much to say apart from the fact that I love everything here about the Chaeyoung's aesthetics! They really chose the elements well and the colors in the text match that elements.
Score: 10
ripia:
I love the gifs in the signature so much and the gradient text matches with them. My only complain is about the choice of PFP, a better choice matching more the other aesthetics and It would be a 10/10.
Score: 7
SanaLovesMe:
I LOVE IT??
The way they chose the right Tzuyu's PFP to match the meaning of this great signature amazes me! I really appreciate the creativity of everything.
Score: 10
Yunathehomegirl:
First I want to that I what I love the most about these aesthetics was the matching of the colors in the gifs and the gradient text. It's beautiful! And the PFP following the Taste of Love's concept was just the cherry on top.
Score: 10
TheLadybug - 9
I love how they color coordinated and the gifs of SANA ARE AMAZING. I wish the purple in text was more magenta though to match the gif more! Like this.
