Vivien, I submitted my design to that competition only in 24 hours before the deadline :p
Your definition about graphic design seems so obvious and you have a great concept to visualize what was in your mind..well done ;)

Omega, I’m really glad that you found the flickr pool of this contest inspirational.
Next time I’ll make sure to let everyone know about the interesting design contests way in advance.

Glad you too found the pool inspirational, Jacob. There were so many different techniques that it’s impossible not to take away something from those posters.

Wow, there are some great pieces of art in that flickr pool!

There is so much inspiration to be had from all of this.

Ronald, thanks for the Stumble. Yes, Beats Me poster is a very clever one.

Simonne, in my case I rarely design something in the exact way I had it in my mind. During the design process I may come up with other ideas and solutions, and choose to stay with them.

Jacob, sorry for the late warning. I was planning on posting this earlier, but didn’t work out.

Randa, thanks for the compliment on my entry. It is hard to pick the winner there, isn’t it?

Btw, I forgot to mention in the post that the very last poster on my list – Taking Others Ideas – is almost the exact copy of Veerle’s own interpretation of Graphic design. I thought that was pretty canny too. :-)

Gotta love Veerle. She’s awesome, and this contest is a great idea. I like your entry very much! I’d hate to have to choose the winner. LOL at the Beats Me entry.

Wow, I thought I was subscribed to Veerles blog, I was in the original what is graphic design discussion and would have liked to have been in the poster comp. There is some great talent there. I liked the beats me poster too :)

I liked all of them. I’ve always wondered if graphic designers manage to create exactly what they have in mind, or they try, but get something else, which is still good, so they go for it?

:) The poster with the clients was hilarious.

I love that last example: “Beats me. But I’m pretty sure it involves Helvetica” That is so me. :)

Stumbled.
