Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with the winners of the HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY contest I ran a couple weeks ago. A quick refresher: The contest was to come up with presidential promotional posters to help Zaphod Beeblebrox get elected as President of the Galaxy. Thanks to all who entered! Now we have the results!
In third place, winning the set of Douglas Adams books is Nils Cordes from Germany. I liked this poster because of the way he combined the film with the TV show. The X on Beeblebrox is pretty inventive, too.
In Second place, winning the DVD autographed by Mos Def is the most Douglas Adamsy of the winners, from a dude calling himself Timbrewolf. I liked this one because the colors jumped out and didn't seem cheaply done. The biggest reason this made it in is because of all that little writing underneath the poster and the inclusion of Pan Galactic Gargle Blasters on the bumper sticker! The humor is witty and dry. Very Adams.
And the bumper sticker:
And the first place winner, who gets the Towel signed by Ford Prefect is a guy by the name of Andy. I loved this poster because it was completely different than most of the entries. It jumped out at me as being very geeky cool and a Kubrick reference is always welcomed. I don't know about anybody else, but I love the simplicity of the image. It's something Zaphod would do, knowing what the space baby represents. It's certainly a nod to his healthy ego! Enjoy!
Thanks to all who entered! It was fun looking at what you created! See ya' on the next one!
