Dramabeans wins graphic design competition

Just wanted to share some awesome off-topic bloggy news: Dramabeans was entered in the Graphic Design USA American Graphic Design Awards Competition 2011, and our site was selected as a winner! Well technically, the lovely, awesome, talented designers at JPD Studio won the award. Because they did all the hard work. (Details, psh.) But we feel like we have bragging rights by association. You guys do too, since this is your home as much as ours, so champagne for everyone!

There were over 8,000 entries from all fields in the creative community (ad agencies, graphic design firms, corporations, institutions, publishers, etc), and DB scored one of very few awards. For being pretty! [And functional! It’s so tasty too! -jb] Remember when the makeover caused widespread panic and gnashing of virtual teeth? Maybe it’s the princess complex talking, but we always knew Dramabeans was a looker. **beauty queen wave**

Congrats again to the JPD Studio team: Jessica Perilla, Krista Chambers, Kim Sall, and Vita Ng. Thanks for making DB its shiny new clothes! We promise to keep it decked out in eye candy and drama fairy dust for another 5,000 posts and counting!

Outstanding! Congratulations to all concerned. This is a lovely looking site plus easy to navigate and so informative!

My only tiny tiny comment is that the revolving banners are so fabulous - but I don't always know who the people are or which dramas are referenced and most look like poeople / dramas I would want to watch. But this may be my ignorance - is there an index somewhere?

And 5000 posts. woot woot!!

Kudos Dramabeans! You all deserve the awards and accolades. Keep up the excellent job of keeping us updated and informed of the latest and not-so-latest news about KDrama and the like. This is the best-looking blogsite I have ever been: clean, crisp and lots of stories/news/updates/ recommendation to its readers. God speed! Cheers!
