1. Name:GrantJohno
2. Real Name: Grant Johnson
2. Country:England
3. Age: 15
4. Position: Ranking crew
5. Reason: Well i have been here a wjile now and i have always thought..im never going tom apply to the staff as i wouldn't get in and i am not the best gfx artist around. Now i am still not the best gfx around but i think i am really imrpoving and also believe that i know whats a good tag and what isn't. I think that i can easily tell a persons ability to there tags and what they have put into them and could easily say what a person should be ranked :).
Overall i just want to make a difference to this site and help out because i have been here for a while and have kept quiet for a while. Im now starting to come out of my shell :)

6. Experience: I dont really have much experience. I have wandered aound the ranking topics and come up with ranking decisions and compared them before and have turned out the same most of the time.
I have also been an admin on a little site which didn't really take off, but i dont think that matters xD lol

8. Please provide some work (at least 5 pieces) that you have created in the last month.

hmm last month:

Grant, please could you rank these three tags for us to see an example of your ranking ability?
You'll have to PM them to a staff member, as I don't think you can reply here.

Grant's PM:
Please may i note that i have also applied for mod. if i have to choose i would rather choose mod over ranking crew as i just want to put something into the forum.
Also i do not believe that you can accurately rank a person without seeing more than one tag ;).. So this is basically down to what i think the tags like :)

number1: This one imo opinion looks really washed out. the effects, where there is any, look kind of nice and so does the smudging. It shows some fairly advanced skills but i do not think that they are put together very nice. There is also too much text. Low mod-mod


number2: some very nice smudging and displacements here :) The effects over all look rather nice and the depth is quite nice however it is an easy tag to create some depth with. I deffinitly dont belive this would be an inter as it just doesn't have wow factor. Mod imo, high mod if that text wasn't there. It really brings it down.


number3: Well this is one sexy tag xD It has some nice depth and flow and effects are really nice. I also believe that B&W was the right decision for this tag as it fits in perfectly. Overall i would rate it inter. Wouldn't reach high inter imo. From how the ranking is getting stricter nowa days i think that this would be in the middle of inter. closer to the bottom half than the top.

hmmmmm:/[/b]Although you have applied for mod, you could be accepted to Ranking Crew first. :P Then depending on the outcome of the mod applications, promoted to moderator. ;)

------------------------------

Okay since no one else has commented on this one I'll give my opinion now.

I'm going to say yes, to accept you.
You've done well in ranking these tags, and matched pretty much what me and Vera agreed they were. You've also given good C&C to them :) Well done.
