Hello all, this is a quick update and a quick call for help. I know most of you are already getting this form me on Facebook, but i need you to re-tweet this article, Digg it, anything you can. Here is the story.
Shaun and I have been friends for many years, i have been with him through think and thin and he is like the brother i was separated at birth from. Here’s the long and short of what i am asking. Rob Thomas has a contest going on to help pick the design for his next single. Great marketing and a great setup if you ask me. Shaun, who is very talented, entered a picture for it. Here’s the thing though, we think someone is scripting themselves to win, and maybe they will get caught, maybe they won’t (heck maybe they are just that much more popular, i dunno) But here is some background on Shaun. Besides being a good friend, he is a talented Writer and a talented Graphic Designer. He has actually been shunned form jobs in journalism because he spoke up when others just dropped their heads and followed the pack. Now, in this hectic economy, he is Jobless, going to school to finish his Masters to make him more marketable, trying to make ends meat with his wife, and soon to be born baby girl. He works Sub Teaching Jobs while his wife also works full time to make ends meat. It’s the story of that one friend who can;t seem to catch a break in this world and does need one. So here is my call for help. I want you to take this blog post and retweet it, digg it, put it up everywhere as i have and vote, daily, to help him win. He gets no money form this, but he at least can put it in his portfolio and possibly help to get him a job where he will be able to showcase his talents. So please, internets, please help.
Goto this link http://bit.ly/9WNuil to vote. His design is the White on top Black on bottom mirror image cover (currently at this time in second place, thank you facebook). Please vote, pass it along, and lets see if we can help him win. If there is ever a need, this is it. thank you.
hi everyone!
first, thanks for all the votes! it does really mean a lot to me!
here is the link nick was talking about … for some reason it didn’t translate in the blog:
my entry is the one with the white on black mirror effect currently in 2nd place!
i’ve had people ask me about what i would win if my design is chosen … so here it is: i would win my design autographed by rob thomas. now, that would be awesome, but more awesome would be the credibility i would get if we actually pull this one out. i really want to add this to my resume of things i have accomplished! so, i’m not just in it because i’m a rob thomas/matchbox twenty fan. i’m in it to say i won this national contest!
thanks again to everyone who has already voted for my design!
