svg doesn't scale automatically. You need to set the viewBox attribute. Illustrator, Inkscape, etc. have an svg exporting facility, but then the file needs to be edited for some things to happen. Looking at the file I can see the boundingBox of your art is bigger than 1024x768, which is a good idea for getting extra art when viewing under a non 4/3 rez instead of blanks. But then I can also see you made the green rect with the purpose of setting the x origin there. Problem is, those programs above don't know your intention, so they set the preserveAspectRatio attribute to "xMidYMid meet" (default), that has the effect of centering, where instead you meant the gear to be slightly cut, say at the rect level, am I right?
Other explanations would be too long here. I fixed the file instead. Would you like me to send it to you? Where?
Your work is really nice and poetic. |

No. Purpose of post was to inform everyone, including judges, and no one in particular. There might be more works in that situation, who knows.
For those interested in discovering SVG a good place is http://www.svgx.org All links there.
Cheers.

At least two of the four selected works are not Scalable, including winner! They won't show properly at 800x600 and leave blanks at 1200x960 or any other rez. They are valid artwork, but no difference with any png 24 then. Thought it was an SVG competition!!! |
