Remember the postcard contest from last year? We did it again! Basically the same rules, only now we were more about overall style than just cramming stickers on.
But then Bernard instantly said “rules-be-damned” and sent three cards as his entry! He didn’t reveal this, so it ended up being his three versus my one. I’ll present them here; you can judge for yourself who won…
Bernard’s three:
The Gudetama card! The simplicity belies the obvious time that went into the design and implementation.
A card that celebrates the diversity of marine life, endlessly circling a sleeping egg. Had Bernard named this, I think he would have called it ‘Albumen Depths‘.
And finally a card dedicated to Yeri from Red Velvet. Gude reclines on a rasher as he ponders the inclusion of the grapes in the central image.
Three cards therefore. A strong collective entry. But was it strong enough? Although I didn’t know the extent of my opposition, I humbly present my knockout entry:
I call this one ‘Planet Gudetama‘ and put my very soul into it. The letter placement! The sticker choices! The hours I spent creating it! This was my magnus opus, at least until the next contest!
Incidentally the Gudetama theme was coincidence. But Bernard and I have been on a ‘lazy egg’ bender for a while so it wasn’t surprising. After all anything is better with a Gudetama sticker!
So what do you think? Did I win?
As incredible as my three entries are, I’m prepared to concede defeat. The Duran Duran lyrics were an inspired choice, I can almost hear Gude singing.
I believe that’s now one win each. 🙂
Indeed we are tied.
I’ve got an unbeatable idea for the 2019 contest though 🙂
