Comment by Deborah Christman on August 11, 2010 at 7:53am: Which button do we click to see the examples? I seem to be going in circles here.

Comment by Andrew Spiering on August 3, 2010 at 9:25pm: @David,
That's a good suggestion. However, it would take quite a bit of redesign to make that happen at this time. We'll definitely consider it for future contests though...

Thanks!
Andrew

Comment by Katharine Rudnyk on August 3, 2010 at 6:08pm: I agree with you Henry! There is always room for more and more votes to be had. Please spread the word.

Comment by david j bockman on August 3, 2010 at 7:01am: Would it be possible to increase the thumbnail size on the competition's main page? Many of the black line drawings, while superb in zoom, lack the fine detail at that size to catch the eye. What do others think?

Comment by henry cohen on July 31, 2010 at 6:30pm: I've been following the competition, since I'm in it, and I just want to say there are wonderful pieces of work here. I thrilled to be on the same page as the folks in this competition. To me, they're all winners.

Comment by Monica Hernandez on July 19, 2010 at 3:01pm: Thanks Katherine ! congratulations on promoting great design through your site, and this competition!
