| I gave this a 9. Sorry, I didn't leave you any comments during voting, but now I'm back to say that it's disappointing that your score wasn't higher - at least I wish you had received more comments to indicate why. Your entry fits the challenge perfectly in my opinion. If the background had been non-white, I would've given it a 10. |

My evaluation method of this challenge is as follows:
1. Did you catch my eye while I was driving by? Oh Yes!
2. If I didn't catch the text while I was driving, did you intrigue me enough to look for this billboard again? Definately!
3. Did you sell your stuff to me? Yes, yes and yes!!
4. Extra thoughts: Wonderful, funny, will make me smile on my way to work even on a sunday morning (In case you were wondering, my working week begins on Sunday...)
So simple, so powerful and was validated. (what for actually?)
Nothing less then a perfect 10.

ok, i am voting this challenge in 2 passes. in this pass, you will get a partial comment and a score. then i will come back to comment again. if you have any problem whatsoever with this comment, pm me and let me know. otherwise, take it with a grain of salt...i'm not trying to be a know-it-all, i'm just explaining where i'm coming from in voting this challenge. and, if this comment is NOT helpful (of if you think i'm full of $#!+), don't mark it helpful.
billboards are a science unto themselves. a lot of research has gone into determining just how much information a person can digest and retain in specific time spans. they use this information to develop formulas for determining the number of words and letters to use on billboards, as well as their sizes. they also determine the size and number of visual elements to include.
the graphics/photograph on a billboard are designed to get the point across in a moment. on the road, a driver will have less time with a billboard than a voter will give your image. this is a key element in the challenge: composing a shot that will get its point across quickly and succintly. along those lines, a strong composition will probably have few details and make strong use of negative space. |
