----------------------------------- Ernie Smith Fri Mar 03, 2006 2:09 pm SND results anticipation thread ----------------------------------- According to the recently-updated SND website, the full searchable database of winners should be posted in about four hours, at 7:00 PM EST. Did you win any? Post them here. ----------------------------------- Robb Montgomery Fri Mar 03, 2006 3:10 pm ----------------------------------- Cool - now if I can find one of those groovy javascript countdown clocks I'll hack it into the home page to build some drama. PLUS: SND Web Editor Rich Boudet todays also posts this "I think American papers are stuck in one model. It's constrained. They just do a reinterpretation of the way newspapers used to be. Of course there is elevated typography, but basically the papers are built on the same model. Too few American editors and designers – and people who care – are looking at the really good papers in Spain, Mexico, and Germany, for instance, for inspiration." Or South America, South Asia, Pacifica, or the U.K., or Korea, or India, or . . . Preach on Brother Phil. What is we all saying here? In a word -Weltanschaung » Welt·an·schau·ung (v lt'än'shou' ng) n., pl. -ungs or -ung·en (-ng-n). See worldview. Post up you winners, you. ;-) ` ----------------------------------- martin gee Fri Mar 03, 2006 3:23 pm ----------------------------------- "Too few American editors and designers – and people who care – are looking at the really good papers in Spain, Mexico, and Germany, for instance, for inspiration." true. but we also need to stop looking at newspapers. there's a vast world of inspiration out there. ----------------------------------- dkordalski Fri Mar 03, 2006 3:33 pm ----------------------------------- true. but we also need to stop looking at newspapers. there's a vast world of inspiration out there. Well said, Martin. ----------------------------------- Robb Montgomery Fri Mar 03, 2006 3:33 pm ----------------------------------- B-I-N-G-O - You are absolutley correct, sir. There is great inspiration to be tapped into from elsewhere. OK, I have wired up a Doomsday countdown clock on the home page . . . tick, tock. ----------------------------------- mattmansfield Fri Mar 03, 2006 4:30 pm ----------------------------------- I hope the clock is correct, but a call just now from the SND office says that they are having uploading trouble. SND does not want to upload the database only to have a bazillion timeouts or errors, so be patient if it does not happen today. The SND office is troubleshooting now. I just changed the snd.org page to Monday, just to be safe. Sorry, gang ... And please don't kill the messenger (ducking now). -matt ----------------------------------- Paul Morgan Fri Mar 03, 2006 4:35 pm ----------------------------------- I hope the clock is correct, but a call just now from the SND office says that they are having uploading trouble.

For that, I am happy. ----------------------------------- Mark McTyre Fri Mar 03, 2006 4:37 pm ----------------------------------- Duck, Matt, here comes a shot from atop the Space Needle. :twisted: Seriously, though, thanks for keeping us posted over here at VizEds. I can't wait to see if I get to put on a :D face or a :cry: face when the SNDs are announced. McTyre ----------------------------------- Janet Matiisen Fri Mar 03, 2006 4:37 pm ----------------------------------- Now it says MONDAY, 7 p.m. EST. Agony! ----------------------------------- mattmansfield Fri Mar 03, 2006 4:38 pm ----------------------------------- This will be far earlier than ever, whether it is today or Monday. But I am really sorry to have gotten up hopes. I should have made sure the database was running right before making any promises! ----------------------------------- martin gee Fri Mar 03, 2006 4:49 pm ----------------------------------- i guarantee you metropoli won at least one or several. :-P ----------------------------------- scavendish Fri Mar 03, 2006 6:44 pm ----------------------------------- i guarantee you metropoli won at least one or several. :-P Vegas refuses to offer a line on Metropoli or Rodrigo anymore. ----------------------------------- fordr Fri Mar 03, 2006 7:36 pm ----------------------------------- i guarantee you metropoli won at least one or several. :-P Vegas refuses to offer a line on Metropoli or Rodrigo anymore.

You're killin' me, Smalls. :wink: ----------------------------------- Jim McBee Sat Mar 04, 2006 7:17 pm ----------------------------------- Didn't we go through this last year? ----------------------------------- Eko Punto Pambudi Sun Mar 05, 2006 10:20 am ----------------------------------- Btw, let me know the font name they used on "The 27th Edition World's Best...." on this link: http://www.snd.org/best27/welcome.html ----------------------------------- mattmansfield Sun Mar 05, 2006 10:59 am ----------------------------------- Type answer: The font is Gotham Condensed (that's the Bold version you see on the World's-Best page). Background: Gotham family, with 20 styles, is from Hoefler & Frere-Jones, the New York City type foundry. They are kind enough to donate their type to SND for our Web project. Generous geniuses, these folks.

Bluffton rules! http://snd.org/competitions/contests.lasso?contest=27&ID=37621 ----------------------------------- mattmansfield Sun Mar 05, 2006 10:42 pm ----------------------------------- They are up.

Why doesn't anybody tell me about these things? Dang! ----------------------------------- martin gee Sun Mar 05, 2006 11:40 pm ----------------------------------- shut out AND lost the oscar pool. like i said... npd baby! ----------------------------------- Matt Petty Mon Mar 06, 2006 12:54 am MM Rules! ----------------------------------- Dude! Thanks Matt so if there are no golds, I guess that makes silver the top honor, oh, and JSR of course... ----------------------------------- chrisolds Mon Mar 06, 2006 1:00 am ----------------------------------- No shock and awe here after seeing the results. I think it's a solid lineup as always. (I will be shocked if there's not a thread bemoaning what *didn't* make it...) Congrats to the winners. I didn't see a whole lot that surprised me when browsing on there. Oh, and I told ya it would win, Angle... http://www.newspagedesigner.com//users/6098/launchcover.jpeg ----------------------------------- mattmansfield Mon Mar 06, 2006 1:04 am ----------------------------------- I would say these were some tough judges, what with no Gold winners. If you got a Silver or a JSR, feel darn good. And if you are one Matt Petty, feel very good. Mr. Petty is the winner of three (yes, three!) portfolio awards. That's some good stuff, dude ... Even if you do work at that other Bay Area paper;) ----------------------------------- kriskinkade Mon Mar 06, 2006 12:03 pm ----------------------------------- i guarantee you metropoli won at least one or several. :-P Vegas refuses to offer a line on Metropoli or Rodrigo anymore.

Who won the bet? ----------------------------------- robschneider Mon Mar 06, 2006 12:22 pm ----------------------------------- i guarantee you metropoli won at least one or several. :-P Vegas refuses to offer a line on Metropoli or Rodrigo anymore.

I think MattE lost, but luckily he was able to get some lines on some girls junior high basketball sectional finals, so he's hoping to make his money back there. Go East Aurora Junior High Lady Cougars! ----------------------------------- MattErickson23 Mon Mar 06, 2006 12:25 pm ----------------------------------- I think MattE lost, but luckily he was able to get some lines on some girls junior high basketball sectional finals, so he's hoping to make his money back there.

But I don't have a problem. Just because I once bet on which bird would fly off the fence first doesn't mean I have a gambling addiction. Most of this is all in jest. OK, the betting on junior high girls basketball is in jest. As is betting on how many awards Rodrigo would win. (I would never want to go down in history as the Pete Rose of competition coordinators!) We now return you to your regularly scheduled SND awards discussion. ----------------------------------- Ashley Dinges Mon Mar 06, 2006 12:55 pm ----------------------------------- shut out AND lost the oscar pool. like i said... npd baby! unbelievable!
