 What the judges said

GH : It’s comforting, yet disturbing.

JP : Yeah - maybe it’s Southern Comforting?

DW : The man with a donkey head is Shakespearian. A Midsummer Night’s Twang.

JP : It’s so Photoshop-y, it’s almost FARK-y. Or is it so lowbrow it’s highbrow?

BB : Like a redneck Chip Kidd.

GH : The bottle is an alcoholic snow-globe. And the chromatic salute to Pepto-Bismol works very well.

DW : The song goes, “My man’s a jackass and lives in a bottle of bourbon.”

BB : Nice use of ornaments from the Dekoria typeface.

JP : They remind me of Grandma’s curtains.

GH : Full points for using all the lightbox elements.
