    Judge Comment: Really impressive! This brings to mind the classic ads that U-High Midway used to create back in the Wayne Brasler era (for Medici in particular). The photo is first rate — really expressive and inviting. The tagline is excellent, and the first-person testimony tells a great story. All elements of the design work together to produce an eye-catching message. Very effective!
