Ad for the Cannabis Cup

Posted by admin on 16 Oct 2006 at 02:16 pm | Tagged as: 420 Jars, Design

So sometimes things get done at the last minute around here. Actually more often than not. Although we’ve been getting better. The quality of our design has improved because we are taking more time. But…I can’t say I really took a lot of time on this piece. Due today, it was done this morning. In just under 4 hours. It looks good. Matt likes it. I’m happy with it. More or less. I’ve know about it for weeks now, but have spent a lot of time working on our other ads. This one sat on the back burner waiting for High Times to send us the art for the jars. Now did I need that art to get started? No. But that was the excuse I told myself. So I waited. But I knew that this morning would be the morning. This glorious Monday. So I awoke, made some tea and started pounding it out. It’s really what I’m best at. I like to think of myself a sort of design cowboy. Shooting from the hip. bang bang! So I just started making stuff. 4 hours later we have a pretty cool looking ad. The bar is low, believe me, so I guess it’ll be just fine. I’ve already thought about multiple things that I’d like to change, but it’s out of my hands now. I guess the lesson here is that I don’t need to wait on some other stoners to get started. I should have been laying this thing out weeks ago, but I was busy then. So I did it when I had to. That’s how our business works after all. Whether at the last minute or just in time. It’s all the same.

By the way, this is the ad that will be going into the Cannabis Cup Guide Book. We are a sponsor and the official stash jar. In case you didn’t already know that.
