1. Competition in spanish in the text
Few weeks ago, when i was going to the post office into ship my parcel to the opposite side of this world , Carmen, the post officer gave me some papers with informations about postal rates, leaflet, and an ad about a competition for the “Correos”, the sapnish postal service and the aim was to designa new packaging for the 2012 parcels.
Like the Luas competion in Ireland, i said to myself that it was a good opportunity to try the spanish competitions, so i’ve been on the website and it was spanishly annoucing the competition, rules, etc … in spanish, and i don’t speak spanish yet. Thnaks to google translator (wich is not that bad actually), i’ve entered my finished design and have entered the competition with a big white box covered with just one single line, theses kind of boxes i love to design and cover it with tons of fancy stories…
Here is the result of the box with a 3D view, in a very pure style and some black ink on it.
I also noticed a very interresting orthografic correction of my name by a very smart software. the first mitake is mine (the “n” instead of the “m” ), but i rarely make the second mistake wich is the feminisation of “emmanuel” . Maybe because of my haircut…
2. Forgetting the competition
Well actually, i didn’t gave too much attention to the next of the on-line submission, according to the great number of competitors (more than 300) and the very classy and perfect finished design. I guess i’m the one to have submit a hand made design, all the others have been done using photoshop , digital pen and mistakes free softwares. However, i’ve “facebook” voted for my design to support myself, because i worth it, like my hairs.
The list of the designs could be seen at the following website specially design for the competition :

3. Invitation to Madrid.
What a surprise when i received a mail in spanish few days before the official gala of the competition. So it was an invitation send to all thoses who did participate to the competition, and the event did take place in Madrid
Geographically speaking, Madrid is at about 600km (400 miles / 7 hours drive) from Barcelona and 3 days before the event, i thought it was a bit a rush, especially when you don’t know if you will receive something or not. Following this invitation, i’ve jumped to the website into see the selection of designs entering the final step of the competition of the year 2012.
Here they are :
