They didnt stand a chance

Yeah, there's no way a library is making someone show up at City Hall for an award.

I was thinking that. Unless she took the photo herself.

Isn't that the purpose of stock photos? Finding and chosing the right stock photo can be part of the process. Of course the license must be right.

The real question is, if the result is good enough to award her, which is debatable.

Knowing libraries?

They either didn't put an age range there so as to not discourage young adults or they mentioned it as being linked to some young readers program but didn't say "for the young readers."

That or he just missed that and, since it was probably mostly parents communicating, no one realized what happened until it was time for the photo and everyone was too awkward about it to say "Oh, well #2 here wins then."

Because they wanted the best local talent an "award at City Hall" (and maybe a $32 gift card to Applebee's) could buy.

Source: worked for a major city library with an enormous budget that used a kids "design contest" for their marketing materials and library cards. Lol

it is nice, it would just be too cramped and busy when printed on a handheld card

i think that's why he won, because his design is relevant, cute, and simple enough to display well on a small card

That's my pick too. It has the most character.

The glasses one has to be the worst one up there. If I found a library card on the ground and the first thing I saw was glasses on a book I would walk past it. It doesn’t convey any information with a quick glance. I can’t read any of the book text, but I imagine it doesn’t say “Fullerton public library.” So it would just look like some kind of bible leaflet that you see on the ground in Vegas that when you pick it up either has nudes on the other side or a bible verse of how I’m gonna go to hell.

That one looks like a stock photo. It's so generic.

Glasses are too stereotypical - and negatively connoted. But the domination most probably was a hint on the voting results ;)

I prefer the tree branch one, but to each, their own.

Maybe it was a shortlist and then voted on by the public, thereby allowing him to 'dominate' the vote.

I mean we don’t know the specific results of the judging. The grading could have been a landslide in their direction.

Art is subjective after all.

I can just imagine you starting the interview for a kid's show, completely hungover and loudly declaring "listen here, you fuckwit!"

Officially, "The Picard Maneuver" is a trick that Picard came up with to fool enemy sensors into seeing two ships and not knowing which to fire at.

Unofficially it's the way Picard always awkwardly readjusts his uniform (which is what my profile pic is). He does it constantly.

In-universe is an attack pattern of jumping to maximum warp (possibly to dodge weapons fire as well) to point blank range of an enemy vessel, and unloading all available weapons before they can react. Picard described it as a desperation measure he used while in command of the Stargazer in combat with a Ferengi ship.

In pop-culture, it's standing and pulling a shirt down to present a clean front. The two-piece TNG uniforms had elastic bands at the waist and would ride up while sitting, so Picard would stand from his chair and straighten his uniform every time.

It's when Janeway steps over a chair on her way to murder Tuvix.

Also, I honestly go back and forth between which is my favorite series: TNG or the original. I've been itching to start another rewatch of the original series lately...

I like this one

Oof.. Looks bad. Ai has a lot to learn.
