Hi.......I'm Annie!
Those people who are voting for me probably know me, or at least know me through my band's twitter page, where I posted my entry with a link to the poll. If that offends anyone , or is considered "spamming my friends" I apologize. I apologize for feeling kind of happy with what I made and wanting to share it with my friends. Trust me, I'm hardly about to win any "popularity" contests.
If it is my friends posting here, then all the better - they're already fans too. I have been known to play BB's albums to any unsuspecting friend the minute they walk through my door - shouting out "listen to this!! Doesn't it nearly make your heart stop?". Eventually they are unable to resist his melodies, as we all are.
But hey, while we're on the topic, I don't know why its wrong to know who made what. I wouldn't mind knowing who made some of these incredible posters myself.

I think it is better to hide designers' names so we could really focus on the poster designs. Katrina did a great job and I appreciate that.
When I choose one, I consider which one would be nice in my room. That's important.

Oh, so you're Annie.. Hi and Welcome.. it's great that you have love for Brendan as we all do, for me it was just strange reading all those comments when we didn't know who Annie was.. you haven't made an introduction thread or anything. So for me, who's been around for a while, it seems odd to have a stranger being spoken about.. that's all..
I know just about everyone on this board personally, and we have been friends for years, and we didn't even tell each other who did what, we didn't even talk about not telling each other, I think we just naturally had a sense of respect for the competition.. and for each piece of work to be voted for on the merit of the art, not voting for our friends.. that just naturally felt fair..
and hey, after everyone had already voted then I posted my poster on my private facebook, and only then did my friends who entered the comp too, share which one was theres.. but we still haven't and won't tell each other who voted for whom..
either way, I think the comp. has been done in a fair way and Katrina I really can't think of any other way you could have done it better;)
It's all good in the end as it's all for the love of Bb;)

I actually have less friends on twitter than I do facebook.
This whole thing is depressing really. I feel like I'm being accused of cheating because two people mentioned they liked my poster. First design contest I've ever entered, very likely the last.

Annie, it's really not like that at all, besides it was a bit presumtuous (sp) of me to think that only regular board members who have made loads of posts and who I've met at gigs etc would be entering a comp. where you could get your poster sold on the Bb website..
the funny thing is that on my facebook I said my fav poster was yours and this was before I even found out which poster you submitted. there seems to be a few artists who have made entries and are promoting their work on other sites.. I guess it's just the way competitions go...
on other news, the 15th seems like forever away..
Katrina, how long do you think it will be before we have the poster in the webstore??

Hey guys, come on now. Lets not get at each other for something so silly.
Yes a lot of us are already friends (from talking on forums and going to gigs - which is why it's always great to get involved on forums, you meet such wonderful people!) and we did all have the same thought about not revealing who made what. I designed a poster and personally, I would prefer to only get votes because people genuinely like my work as I need a lot of help with my confidence more than anything.
However there was no actual written rule that you couldn't tell your friends which poster you made (I'm not saying this in a negative way either - Katrina is awesome and works out so many cool things for us!!) I'm just saying that everyone's mind works differently.
Annie - I hope you head to the Introduce Yourself section and tell us some more about you! We're all here for the same reason and it would be great to get to know you. And anyways your poster shows off your talent and that a lot of work was put in!
At the end of the day I'm voting for the poster I would pay money for and want hanging on my wall and I hope everyone else does the same! Otherwise we'll end up with a poster being made for us that doesn't sell and that won't make anyone happy.

What was said about each entry being judged on the merit if it's own art, that's what I meant when I said it wasn't fair that people were voting just because they know you. I never said it was cheating, just that it isn't really the point of a competition based on art or design.

Katrina, how long do you think it will be before we have the poster in the webstore?? We won't have a winner until the end of May, so hopefully by mid-summer. Depends on turnaround time at the printers and all that logistical stuff. As for everyone else, chilling out would be advised. No one is cheating. Spreading the word on Brendan's music and getting you guys a killer piece of merch is what this is all about. You're allowed to be proud of your designs and show them off to your friends. Only love on the boards, please? |
