ENTRY:
Film Making
JUDGE'S
COMMENTS:
Seven colors plus two lacquers printed on Pressure Sensitive Paper. The use of both matt and gloss over lacquers create the contrast between the film reel containing the stamp images and the side art. The judges commented that the background on the right is ethereal and creates the impression of bygone days. The silver lettering adds to the ambience. The lettering on the back is extremely sharp. |

ENTRY:
Glade Magic Candles
JUDGE'S COMMENTS:
A challenging job on shrink film printed with shrink film inks and Thermo-Chromic inks. Good register and clean images. After application the sleeve maintains, “full color” until the candle is lit. The border of color turns white revealing reverse printed butterflies. |
