It feels so good to win …thanks Agustina and exclusive wireless

Posted on 10 April 2008

So last night (Wednesday night, Apr. 2nd), my friend Agustina from California calls me and of course she wanted me to help her with something. If you haven’t noticed… I’m “that guy” to call when you want some help with something technical. She tells me about a competition that her store, exclusive wireless (a T-Mobile authorized dealer), was having. There was no real prize or money involved but I’m a helpful person… not to mention that I’m as competitive as it gets. She tells me that a co-worker at another store was the “graphics guy” for their franchise for awhile and also that he uses Illustrator. He reportedly submitted 3 drafts into the contest. So I was starting to have doubts that maybe I didn’t stand a chance. So Agustina and I stayed up to 3AM EST, working on this flyer for a “Tax Free Weekend Sale.” - It came out good, but I wasn’t too happy with the image on the upper left but I was too tired and exhausted to continue to work on it. It was due the next day. Damn Agustina and her last minute missions. It felt like the show Dinner Impossible but for graphic design.

So she calls me today and tells me that I’ve won! And the flyer will be posted up at every exclusive wireless store in the Sacramento market. Hopefully if they have future sales like this, my flyer might make it to other exclusive wireless stores in Modesto, Sacramento, Reno (nv), Visalia, Bakersfield, Tulare, Madera, Porterville, Delano, Dinuba, Turlock, Atwater, and Stockton. Her regional manager loved it and the owner of the franchise was impressed as well. VICTORY IS MINE! I just want to thank the associated press, My mother for having me, the teenage mutant ninja turtles cartoon that inspired me to draw during my childhood, and thanks to my buddy Agustina for giving me to opportunity.
