Great entries! I voted.
Tough decision, all are wonderful.
They’re really good. I’m gonna resist the urge to take a peek at the voting.
That’s gotta be tough. You probably never peeked at Christmas presents either. Hard to do, but worth the surprise!
What a great project. I voted.
Jane, keep resisting that urge. It’ll be more fun when the winner is announced and we all need as much fun as we can find. ((Jane))
They’re all very good.
I voted.
wow! voted but it was tough, almost had to close my eyes and simply point the mouse – all of them beautifully done
oooh and now I’m a certified Art Pimp – I recommended the contest to one of these finalists !
Hard to pick. They’re all good…
Emptywheel has a fresh cross-post already in progress: “David Frakt on Material Support Charges and Military Commissions”
What happened to the 30 finalists? You only came up with 6?
What a grand idea! I voted for the arteriovenous system, but heart being in DC may not appeal to everyone.
There are pitfalls to being an arts professional. These are all well meaning but…
I voted and a big raspberry for the grump.
The purpose of good graphics is to seize the eye and then create an image so memorable that it can’t be forgotten. Our side deserves that – health care deserves that.
Think about the poster of the napalmed child with the words: And children? And children. That poster changed minds.
These are all very nice and perfect for a PTA competition to sell pies to people who want to donate anyway. But the health care industry is paying ad agencies big bucks to find the memorable image. This is why the Right wins hearts and minds and we complain. Because we are nice and don’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings. Exactly what so many of us complain about with Obama.
