MRCL · Jun 8, 2009

Maybe w1zz eloped with the Asian chick that gave him a massage, starts a new life in Taiwan and we never get to know who won

stefanels · Jun 8, 2009

...and the winner is W1zz and the personalized 4890 it's sitting in his rig now...

When ever they manage to open the shiny gold envelope

W1zzard · Jun 9, 2009

first i need to figure out how to make it easy for the judges to select their favourites out of all the submissions

zAAm · Jun 9, 2009

Maybe create a page out of every 16 submissions or so and then they can flip through them quicker and easier?

InnocentCriminal · Jun 9, 2009

I can't help but chuckle at the entries that broke the rules.

MUHAHAHAA!

stormseeker · Jun 9, 2009

Download them all, put them to one folder and shift + del all that use CGI and screenshots :roll:

Not so simple. If a CGI or a screenshot is copyright free then it's pretty much valid

The only true way you can judge someones work is to print them all and pin them to the wall where u guys pass by every day. Leave it like that for 3-5 days, look at it while doing your daily duties, and favourites will then start to emerge.

Once you narrow it down to 20-30 designs, print a larger scale photo, the do the wall thing again... and select 5 or so of the best and only then you can sit down and discuss those that made it to the finals...

And don't rush it, take your time... rushing things like these only makes it worse

:rockout:

P.S. being somwhat the photographer, this is possibly the only true way you can select the real design...

saasouza · Jun 9, 2009
