Update #3: Get to know our Judges
Part of our approach with this project is to give the judges a chance to express themselves and bring the best out of designers entering the competition.
Likewise we believe the designers can benefit from knowing a little about the judges and what they're looking for.
Without giving too much away, we will be creating a more dynamic judges profile that shows personality, professional background and expectations.
(note to the wise: don't let the smiles fool you, they won't be easy to please)

Update #2: Inside Scoop: Chris Piascik to do official project poster
Hey guys, for being backers, not only do you get awesome gifts but you're also privy to the inside scoop on how the project is coming together.
The latest news is Chris Piascik (http://chrispiascik.com/), a very talented illustrator will be creating the artwork for The Say Something Poster Project. His unmistakable style is exactly what we were looking for to capture the youth focus of the project but still deliver an intelligent, thoughtful message. Here are some samples of previous work to wet your appetite.
Update #1: Fantastic first week
