Here at Third Man, there are myriad textbooks, novels, design journals, websites, posters, newspaper clippings and records (old and new) that inspire the design team on a daily basis, though we don't always reveal our direct influences. This case is the exception to that rule. As another Vault contest, we are offering the vintage Brazilian postcard which provided direct inspiration the art for Vault package #23 -- the White Stripes Live Under Amazonian Lights package! Here's the scoop on how to be entered for a chance to win --
1.) Find the most fascinating fact you can about Manaus, Amazonas, Brazil, where package #23 took place
2.) Title the email "Vault Package #23 Manaus Photo Contest"
3.) Send your one-sentence entry with a link to your online source to: vaultcontests@thirdmanrecords.com
Please note: only one entry per member! The contest is open until Thursday, February 19th, at which time the winner will be picked and announced. Also, some of our second-favorite facts will be posted with the winning entry, just for fun.
Have at it!
Possibly a dumb question but can the fact simply be about Brazil and not specifically Manaus? I found a cool fact but it’s more a Brazil fun fact
I had the same thing peppermintgirl, hope it doesn’t disqualify us!
So people ADD THE SOURCE/SOURCES!
Ugh, I forgot to add the link to my first email, so I had to resend. :( Hope that doesn’t disqualify me. Found some super interesting facts on Manaus!
Whoo just when I almost wanted to post in that there is no city called Menaus, they changed it :)
@Lucca yes, only one entry per member. Post updated!
Question: one entry only per member?
@DanTheMan333 Research guru should be a shoe in for this.
Ooo i have a good one :) fingers crossed
I think there’s some monkey business directly influencing your team’s vintage spell-o-meter, Third Man. ;-)
Thank you for giving us another fun competition so soon! Nice to see your inspiration for the next Vault package too, and to be given the chance to win it.
