SND Competition: Behind the Design

It was very informative but in the sens, I learned a lot. I never realized when looking at many of our covers for VOX that they do seem a little under done at times. I think that we could do more but at the same time, I realize that the judges are right; I guess we do need to work a little harder to make the printing work for us. But it was nice to hear from a outsider that the printing was horrible. So the students aren't the only ones that realize it.

I also realized that judging for competitions shouldn't be taken personally. They are totally subjective. It all depends on that particular judges tastes and how they feel that day. They might see your work that day and hate, but maybe seeing it again a few weeks or years even from that time, and they might love it. That really bursts my bubble when it came down to it. I guess for some reason I figured that judges have/had a definite reason for rejecting someone's work. But after watching them fumble through some of their reasons for rejecting a piece, I realize a design competition can be a little superficial.

I swear a little piece of my innocence dies everyday.

Congrats to all of my fellow classmates that won the competition. You deserved it.
