Here we go again. Good response this month. A last minute rush especially in Category A has meant I have had to hold some over for next month. Just too damn hard to pick just 6 for you to vote on.

A3 ... Double sided gate sign and design
A4 ... Sandstone, glass and aluminum

Lots of great entries again this month!
My votes are as follows...
A1 I love the use of color and how the various elements work together. Its effectively used dimension to make one classy sign!
B4 Nice use of blends... I'm always prone to vote for a great use of a cartoon. It will be interesting to fins out who designed this wonderful piece.
C1 I'm positive the phtos doesn't begin to show just how fine this piece is. I've seen a step by step of it during the building process.... it is a TON of work well executed!
D3 There is a wide variety of colors on this truck... but they all work together well. A work truck never looked so good.
E5 This piece does exactly what is is designed to in a very simple and classy fashion. Great design!
Overall C1 Nothing like reverse glass... and this one uses every single trick in the book and a few more besides.

A1 - wow! Feels like Disney quality!
B2 - great colors
C1 - the old fashioned elements are just so charming
D3 - I want one!!!!
E 4,5 & 6, lovem all! E5 struck me with that haze behind the logo, beautifully done!
Overall, A1 gets my vote. It just fits so well on that storefront.

A-4 B-6 C-1 D-6 E-? loved the one red x the most...
Overall-C1-nothing beats reverse glass and like Dan said, this ones got all the bells and whistles.
Posted by Kelly Thorson (Member # 2958) on :
Wow this was the toughest one et for me....I want to vote for almost all of them!!! A-6 - I love the woodsy feel on this one B-2 - Fun! C-1 - Surprise... D-6 - I like the edge treatment... E-6 - Made me smile
Overall C-1 I'm with Dan on this one....the incredible amount of work and attention to detail in this piece as well as the in depth step by step and willingness to share and teach by the creator blows me away. I can honestly say I got almost as much pleasure out of the creation of this piece as I would have got by doing it myself. Well done! Posted by David Harding (Member # 108) on :
A-6 A hard choice between this and A-1 (not the steak sauce!) B-2 C-1 How would you like to have your job competing behind this one? Can you spell stomp? D-2 Way cool idea! E-5
Overall, C-1. I would love to see this one in person. I followed its construction on Mike Jackson's site and I'm sure the photo doesn't come close to doing it justice.

a1--I'm a sucker for a great color scheme--but nice craft, too b--can't choose just one c1--yowza d2--nice shadows between the barn wood panels and the shadow of the car against the barn e1 and e4--partial to the simplicity and class of e1, but I like the ghosted back of e4
Posted by Rod Tickle (Member # 575) on :
