Jurors’ Comments:
Gerald Dawavendewa: I like the use of a lot of pastel colors, but they’re still very strong. It’s a cohesive, strong image even though there’s a lot going on. You can appreciate it from a distance, but also closer up.
Ryan Huna Smith: I loved the use of color—minimalist but nice. I liked the fluidity of the design from the top to the bottom. Overall it’s visually very nice.
White Swann: I noticed the background has nice texture, which brought the design out really well. I liked the blend of pastel colors and the meaning behind it all.
