While this in no way is meant to denigrate the competition, it is a pity that the art director didn't catch the black text on black paint trouble for that brochure. The word can be deduced from context but it shouldn't have to be.

I mentioned this contest in a comment on Jessica Hagy's blog Indexed. http://indexed.blogspot.com/ Check out her blog — I don't know her and have no vested interest in this. I bet you'll really enjoy it, and I think she can make a book cover that'll really stand out.
IMO, of course. ^_^

Thanks for the tip on Jessica Hagy's blog! I think you are right about the book cover....
Hooray!
If you get her to do the cover, may I get a signed copy of the book? =D

Where are there other mixed-idea type contests? I have found this one so far: http://www.newartperspectives.com/
I'm looking for something also related to math and art too.
Thanks in advance!
