Thanks for the invite, sorry I missed to submit an entry.

Congrats to the winner and to the project owner. But is okay to print that kind of design especially for patch? The winning design is a bit to dim or clutter?
For printing and color wise I think #32786180 is much better and look more an Alice in Wonderland.

Anyway congrats, good-luck to your event. =)

Thanks for your feedback Park! I wish I could see what you would have submitted. Burning Man is such a longstanding International event that I think everyone is aware of it. Unfortunately, I made too many assumptions in my original brief and it quickly became clear that a lot of designers weren't understanding that I needed the iconic wooden effigy in the design, NOT an actual "man". I revised it to provide a lot more clarity and photo references which I think helped, but I'll know better next time. I wish I could have kept the contest open for longer to see more entries; I also realize that many designers don't want to spend a lot of time on a design that may not get chosen and therefore no payment for their time. The "Crowd Design" format is a lot of fun, but not without limitations. As for the design chosen, you can get a LOT of detail with woven patches over embroidered ones and I think this design will be amazing as a huge banner AND on T-shirts and Hoodies and stickers. Take Care and I will invite you to my next project (coming in the next few weeks).

Yeah, many designers here choose mostly a Logo Project. Your project is more for Art & illustration type or category project and many don't want to try that because it will take a lot of time to produce an illustrations.

Thank you looking forward to your next project. =)
