Kerning makes me feel dead inside

This game is honestly kinda interesting, because there is no real reason you'd need it unless if you wanted your kerning to be the very best it ever will be I guess?
I understand the potential value that could be given, to be the very best there ever was at looking at something and feeling something else is off..

OH, BEFORE I FORGET (I am really enjoying caps lately)

2) PICTURE

Although, to be fair, this was my third attempt (maybe fourth?) and each time I learned something newww, like I didn't know more than one letter could be moved, while this time in particular it was 3 letters that had to be moved, I'm still kinda proud I got it.
I really wish I got the word Bloody, I feel like I'd get a perfect 1000/100 on that one.
PIXEL PERFECTIONN

eMagine bored me to deathh

Okay, not really bored, but it's hard to stay consistent and fresh all the time.

eMagine is an event held by E-Comm annually to celebrate students who are really good at what they do. It's structure is similar to an awards ceremony, but I also dislike how only E-Comm students are required to go, while if anyone from their schools doesn't want to, they don't have to. I had a fun time, but I think it would be much better if only people who really cared wanted to go, or maybe offer extra credit.

I know of many people who just decided not to go.

ANYWAY
I had a fun time going, and it was rather fun knowing half the people who got called up, but I also felt sorry for the few people who really poured their heart into it and they didn't get nearly as far.

Google's Doodles are killin' it

Although most people notice, I suppose some don't quite realize it.
Google doesn't have the most flexible of logo, but they try to make it work, well, for everything. They call it a Doodle, whenever there is a holiday or some big celebration, (someone important would be 155!, etc) then they make a specialized, sometimes even localized logo. That is, the US gets an Independence Day logo, while the UK or Canada doesn't have anything. There are many examples on http://www.google.com/doodles/finder/2014/All%20doodles

They even have contests regularly for certain events they hold, like I myself put in a piece, although it didn't get that far (if it got anywhere, I was really bad with digital art when I made it).
The rewards are awesome, so why not enter?
Well, besides that it is locked in to student entries, I suppose.

Edited to add pictureesss
Because I didn't realize how many people would add them in ;_;

Bloody Dictatorship Away!!

We were instructed to make a minimalistic poster of an old movie, and I, loving all things open and understanding, decided to do The Great Dictator (1940).
It is a satirical political comedy-drama made by Charlie Chaplin about Hitler. (above is my poster, with the "Nazi" logo replacing eyes, with a Hitler mustache)
Our requirements were not many colors and 2-3 'things'
