The last of my Design Challenge entries. Saw this stock shot and decided
to make a quick ad out of it still using the 3 primary colors. Nothing
to write home about, I know.

I really enjoyed doing this exercise. Every week I was forced to
readdress the criteria 4 different times. It's easy to go with our first
notion and not explore alternative solutions.

If you folk are interested in participating in another such exercise let
me know. We can do them a month at a time with different themes and specs.

Hope everyone has a good weekend. I'll be outa here for a long and we
deserved sabbatical tomorrow.

Toodles!

Certainly, the least interesting of the 4 weeks. But then again, what
kind of competition did you get? If it was a race you would have lost,
however. I've never seen anyone run away that fast.


I'd love to try when time allows. I couldn't be more busy right now, and
the next few weeks will continue that full-court press. We've got a new
web stat package coming in to install this month and I'm in NYC on the
18th-21st for training. But if you're up to organizing these, please
post. As I've said, most of the other forums I post on hold similar
challenges and they work out very well. They inspire ideas and comradery.

Agreed. I had more grandiose plans, but life got in the way.


I like this quote by Matthew Moulton in the "Hey Dribbles! Er, I mean
Drew" thread made on 5/13. And I quote:

"So have you now officially run the fuck away from your own challenge,
or what? I mean, come on Drewster, don't fail us all again."

LOL!

If he hasn't taken down his week 1 "entry" I think I'll grab it and do a
comparison "Review" page and play "Whack-A-Mole" with him over the summer.

Post posturing..."WHACK!"

Post blather..."WHACK!"

Post "God level" bluster..."WHACK!"

You get the idea.

That's my thinking.

Picked a damn good time. Temps are supposed to hit 95º here Saturday.
Where we're headed, stream side should be in the high 70s. Mountains 2
hours away. Beach, 3. Ya gotta love this place!

Fun stock shot! I'd would have really loved the ad if you had made it
more like a retro detergent ad though with "Clean" in a sparkling burst,
etc.

Yea, it could have been better, but the competition didn't rise above
the sewer.

What else can I say.

I think that about covers it. Perhaps if you could offer MORE in the
way of competition, ie better than nothing, then you would get more
people interested in participating. As it stands though, competing
against an open sewer of "design" like you holds about as much meaning
as trying to compare ones work to that of a mildly retarded 3 year old
with a box of half broken Crayolas. Simply put, you have nothing
worth competing against. *shrugs*
