*****MINI CONTEST #1*****

You work in the marketing department at Sutliff. Sales of Mixture No. 79 have been lagging. Your boss thinks the solution is a complete rebrand. Your job is to come up with some type of marketing material. A new print ad, a new logo, etc. He really wants you to capture the "essence" of the blend, and the type of people you imagine smoke it. For simplicity sake, we'll pretend there are none of the usual laws surrounding tobacco advertising. Also, your boss is a cheap SOB, so your only tools are MS Paint (if there is a similar Mac equivalent that is fine), Photoshop, stock images from the web, and anything you can draw manually.

You have one week. The deadline is start of business Monday, 6/22. Off the record, your boss is a bit of a goof, and you know anything that will elicit a laugh is sure to get his praise. This contest is open to all members, even if you are not part of the review contest. The winner will have his or her choice of a full tin of one of the following:

Erinmore Flake 7/13
Peterson Irish Flake 4/14
Orlik Golden Sliced 100g 7/13
SG 1792 Flake 5/13
Dan Hamborger Veermaster 8/14

If I choose more than one winner, first place will get first choice, second will get second, and so on. I also reserve the right to throw in samples and bodyguards to protect the tin.

Good luck!
