Judge’s Com­ments
These Ter­ra posters are a daz­zling delight, and watch­ing the two print­er judges scru­ti­nize this poster with a loupe, search­ing for the seam in the plates was my favorite part of the entire judg­ing day. Still try­ing’ to read the darn thing… — Stephen DoyleSome­times the best design is just a piece of work that makes you sit up an notice, and puts a smile on your face. This is one of those pieces: amaz­ing let­ter­ing, bril­liant craft, excel­lent choice of mate­ri­als and col­or. How can you not smile? — Marc Eng­lish320 square Inch­es of intri­cate design and near flaw­less­ly exe­cut­ed metal­lic foil. You can’t help but be drawn to it. — John Ear­lesThere we were, look­ing for the lines where the plates lined up. I could­n’t find them, even with my coin loupe. John from Hous­ton bird dogged the search until he found the evi­dence that this piece was print­ed with two plates, as we sus­pect­ed. The fact that it took him two days to make this dis­cov­ery deems this selec­tion just per­fect for “Best Of.” — Jim Sherraden
