I just need to say that I love nineteen.

(is not in this contest, but it seems fun. Too bad I can't make graphics!)
Do a see a set entry for my set contest?? =D
Anyways, I think you did a good job, Flame. I can't recognize any of them except for one or two!! (then again, like I'm good at noticing styles)

I have to say that I love 18, and the person who made it. They REALLY know John Reuben.
If a set is made for us, when are we allowed to use it?
(Also, I'm having fun figuring out who's who. I think I have most of them figured out)

As cool as it is that you like complimenting some of the sets, I'm going to have to ask that you refrain from doing so. It'll fill up this thread too quickly.

I'll make this short, but I'll try to give tips for improvement as well as I can.
One - Good job with the image, but you really need to work with the borders as well as the texts. Al though they're not entirely bad I would be glad to see more color and daring styles matching the flashy image.
Two - Marvelous set, the colors match well and the idea is very original.
Three - Nice base, so to say, but I'm still missing that extra little something. Maybe something more unusual for the borders as well as the subtext (these two are often the things that are quite similar in many sets, style-vise).
Four - Mainly I don't think the image matches the background that well. The set looks a bit empty, I think something else than just the sheep image would have been needed to fill it out. The border is awfully plain. However, I like how you placed the letter on the sheep in the avatar.
Five - The image effect you seem to have used really just made the picture look more grainy, giving an appearance of bad image quality. I think you should have used brush effects instead and kept the contrast from the original image. The text needs more visibility and stronger colors as well.
Six - Awesome job, and that's about it.
Seven - I like this, one big fall for the set are the texts though. I don't think you should have used those particular fonts. For the av you could have gone for Times New Roman instead, and placed it to follow the contours of the moon (for example) to not make the av so plain. Same goes for sig, where the main text could have been made considerably larger.
Eight - Well for one I like the simplicity in this set, it makes it very pretty in its own way. However you really should have thought about the border more, something more soft and more to the pink-side would have matched the rose better.
Nine - I don't really see how you used the first image in the set, so I get the feeling that it was quite unnecessary in the end. Anyway, the dreamy effect on the set is quite nice, referring to the colors etc. I think a short subtext under the main text on the sig would have been needed though, because as it is now "Jennifer" has been left "hanging in the air" in a way.
Ten - Far too plain, probably mostly because of the rather dull background, some flashy and more colorful effects with brushes etc. would probably have made this a lot better. The separated text on the av strikes me as a bit strange. Try to think about the image placing and size next time as well; on the sig I'm not particularly fond of how the sig borders get so close to the coke can's borders, either the can could have been a bit larger or smaller.
Eleven - Good start, the colors are not as good as they could have been. Especially the texts blend into the pink background too much. The image color gives the appearance of being a bit poor, but yet again i think that is because of the color arrangements.
Twelve - Very nice. The thing that strikes me though is how edgy the subtext and text on the av seem to be compared to the rest of the soft features in the set. I suggest that you next time don't use a pixel font for smaller text. Also, in a way the av text looks good where it is, in another aspect its placement is a bit strange.
Thirteen - Far too much contrast for my taste, however I do see the good in it and won't complain about that anymore, it does look very nice how it is. I like how experimental the set is in a way. Just one thing; the font choice is according to me not suitable at all for this set.
Fourteen - I don't get the feeling that much has been done to the original image at all. The text fits as well as stripe image effect I can see, but what more can i judge on really?
Fifteen - Umm, this set confuses me a bit, mostly because of the utter messy feel in it. Mostly I think improving the choice of colors would be already a lot better. Nevertheless, the "connection" between the colors and text give a very nice feeling to the set.
Sixteen - Image is good but there's a big problem with the text. It is hardly visible and the choice of both font, placement as well as size isn't the best. Mix around a bit more next time and dare to try many styles before doing a final decision (oh how poetic of me...).
Seventeen - Interesting choice of style, very original! Only the main text on the signature bothers me, maybe you could have moved it a bit more upwards and to the left?
Eighteen - Quite okay, but a bit too plain. Image effects could have probably done it as well as a bit more highlighting for the texts to give them a bit more visibility.
Nineteen - I must say I'm impressed by the fact that you created the image by yourself, it's plain yet it works since you have not thrown in that much extra to ruin the feeling of the set. God job.
Twenty - Too random, meaning that I don't see much of a connection between the images and text (it just looks like random pasting). Colors are nice but the set is still rather empty and lacking a personal style.
Twenty One - The base for both avatar and signature is very good. The texts ruin the whole thing a bit though, the seem to be rather bold and the colors don't match, especially on the av.
Twenty Two - Yet again a set that is a bit too plain. When you use images experiment with them a bit more, cutting out a person onto a singled colored background with a few background effects isn't the only thing you can do with the image. The "Medli" text on the sig should have been moved a few pixels to the right, as it is now it comes too close to the left border.
Twenty Three - Very pretty, al though you could have filled up the empty space with something. I like what you've done with the text. Border could have been a bit more than just a single colored, one-pixel line.
Twenty Four - Good start, and the avatar is quite alright, but almost every part of the signature could be improved. To just mention a few opinions I think the subtext is too big and poorly placed, the image quality of the sportier car is lacking and therefore it does not match the rest of the set and I'm not particularly fond of the background (if I'm correct it's a pre-made pattern in PS).
Twenty Five - Too plain, I see the style you have been trying to create but there is still a lot of improvement to do, for example the text colors and adding of image effects.
