Cover Design Winners!
Posted by: | CommentsWe have the winners from our first ever “Design Our CD Cover” contest! The contest was open only to members of local after-school programs with both the winner and runner-up coming from the Computers4Kids program. Entries were judged by design experts at Journey Group. So without further ado, winners are:
First Place and winner of $200 is Tyberious Conn:
The judges comments: I like the cut and paste motif. This has a mixed-media feel. Nice layering. Interesting, yet simple, typography. Unfortunately, some of these images are low resolution, though I think it adds to the overall low-fi effect.
Second Place and winner of iTunes gift cards is Romel Jones:
The judges comments: I like the simple layout. Well balanced. Clever use of the MRC logo.
Congratulations to Tyberious and Romel! Make sure to come see the design in person at our 2012 CD release party on May 24th!
Closing Monday the 20th

Past judges have included Dave Matthews Band member Boyd Tinsley, internationally recognized poet Rita Dove, best-selling writer Rita Mae Brown, musician and winner of YouTube’s ”My Grammy Moment” Ann Marie Calhoun, and music industry executives Bruce Flohr, David Frey and Jason Colton.
