2 million dollars in debt, this artistic Alberta tourist town will do anything to come out on top.
View ProjectA selfie is the best marketing tool around. Wait! No it's not! Good thing; because we enlisted the multi-faceted talents of Kaycee Vandenberg to design 2 POSTERS that are sure to make us STICK out. Oh, and you can be sure Holly, Gio and Aaron got their vision in there too.
Fave 56There's just something about a hobby horse head superimposed onto a human body that makes me laugh out loud...how silly. How fabulous!! Keep up the great work, guys!

poster a love the horses head
Thanks Lori!!
Im sorte gio i hâve à hard Time with this
Jamie you got it! Thanks for becoming a fan! Just come back on Nov 6th and vote for us! That's all you gotta do:)
All the characters together in a small town makes Poster A better
We think these characters are a dynamic bunch of wackadoos that will win over anyone. We just had to put them front and centre on the poster.
i have a feeling that horse is gonna be a big hit! dont ever get rid of it lol also poster A kicks butt, sorry giovanni :P
We'll never get rid of that thing. I'm gonna mount it on our wall.
I know eh? We won't. May just need to buy a back up! He is more than prop!
I like both posters, but Poster A is so clean and funny, I can't not choose it. That being said, the way Gio is holding his horse is a little bit dirty. Tell him not to choke up so far next time!
Hahaha! Just doing what comes naturally.
hahaha Oh Taylor for sure.
I have to give today's praise to Kaycee Vandenberg. I have never met her, but I am in love with her poster series. Great comic photography over a plain white background and a fairly simple but memorable title card... Never mistake simplicity for laziness, because the results are the most professional and eye-grabbing posters in this competition. Brilliant artistic decisions, Kaycee. As every comic strip artist knows, the human eye is inherently lazy, which is why we are drawn to a colourful focal image on a plain white background. And when you're working with characters like Gio and Holly who pretty much jump out of the photo at you ... How can you go wrong? :) Exemplary...
Yeah she knows what she's doing!
And, of course, equal praise to any other artists who may have collaborated on the posters, I'm not sure how many are on your team!
I forgot to say: welcome to the Top 55! I'm glad to see this project made it and I'm cheering for you guys to go all the way.
So far, I think this project is one of the most professional I've seen, almost as if it is already a full fledged TV show! While I just had to vote for poster A, I also really liked poster B and the Shakespearean aesthetic.
I like poster B too! I like the tag line too but I knew when we came up with the first idea that everyone was going to go for that!
Thanks Wendel! We are stoked to still be in this! I mean our dream goal that we are working hard every week towards is #1!
We do have a full fledged show and we want our project to reflect something that could easily be inserted into primetime production. Branding is also something very important to us. We love that it is nailing our vision home. Poster A is a hit. We knew it would be! Poster B is really layered with story too. We love showing two different directions that work and are usable. Probably in different marketing avenues. P.S. Shakespeare rules and he is super funny.
I have spent time watching other videos, the ones that are high in numbers and I was quite disappointed. Why is this world so obsessed with sex. I think there is sex in most of these videos. Just want to say that it is so refreshing to come to yours and see something really creative, smart, and everybody can watch. Thank you for bringing something to the platform that is witty, funny and creates a desire for more. Hope you go up to the top; you deserve it!
LOL! ya, just a little though; I heard it can make your eyes go crooked!
There are a lot of different tastes out there in humour. It is good to see the variety to know what type of show is more suited to you. Ultimately, we are excited to be bringing what we have brought so far. With that said, we want to say don't be surprised if you see something on our show one day that does have sex on the brain. I mean after all, it is on all our brains once in a while or every day! Plus, if you look at our week 3 video we did mention "sex" but without using the word. It is true though, we want to be a show everyone can watch. Thanks for your thoughts Monique! They are always welcome!!
Well, hey, some sex is cool too though. Just a little.
Poster A made me laugh out loud good way to start a day. Congratulations for advancing in the top 55. Looking forward to laughing more and more while following your performance in your project Welcome to Tulip.
Thanks Carole! We are so glad that we are moving forward and getting a chance to showcase our project every week! Keep checking back here to join in the comment feed! Also, TOP 15 voting starts in 8 days. So make sure to jolt your community to sign up and get in on the action too!!
Salut Carole, moi aussi le poster A est mon préféré. J'ai bien ri aux éclats! J'aime beaucoup leurs photos. Je trouve qu'ils interactent avec le public très bien, et réponde bien aussi aux gens qui laissent des commentaires.
I like the one of Gio singing in the rain best, because it peaks my interest for what kind of shenanigans he's going to get into!
And I agree with Kyla that there's something about the look of Poster B that attracts me.
Glad you love the signing in the rain! I am sure we will use it at some point. We had so many great ideas for posters it was hard to pick just two. It will be fun showcasing more and more images in the future! I am glad you also love Poster B. Thanks Sarah!
Hey nice job on both posters - there is a serious difference between both of them and they're both great. But for me - it's A, it has to be A. Good luck - your friends from Fruit Farm!
Thanks Joseph! We are glad we showed two distinct sides to the coin. Good luck to you too! You're posters were top notch and we're excited to see what you got coming up in Week 5! Keep up the hard work as always! It's showing!
Poster A gets my vote. I find the tidiness of it more appealing and it's comedic (yet slightly creepy) what was done with the swapping of the heads. I also fine the writing in poster A easier to read. Great posters though, both very different and creative. Oh, and thank you for responding to my previous comment, I think it's great when a team takes the time to respond to fans.
Love the feedback Christina! We feel the exact same. There is something about Poster A that just pops! Poster B is meant to be something to draw you in an look a little further. Glad you love them both. Our designer Kaycee hand drew the fonts and then put them on her computer. The care and meticiulousness put into these posters was much more than choosing a great font!
Hilarious! Poster A was my fav! Keep up the good work.
Thanks Jeremy! Glad to see it is standing out! We love how strongly it is grabbing people. Keep following; Top 15 voting is open in less than 9 days!
Love both posters, but A is a winner! I also want to say that your optional images each week have been stellar! Even though they are optional, you clearly put a lot of time and effort into producing them, which shows not only that you want this, but that you'll work hard to make a fun show. The images and their descriptions also portray your humour in a grand way. I look forward to these images each week almost as much as your entries! Keep up the amazing work! And CONGRATS on Top 55! So glad you made it!!!
Congrats on top 55, Welcome to Tulip is growing on me:) Look forward to seeing more of your fun style, many faces, and creative talents.
Thanks John!! We are excited too! So many creative and talented people on our team. All of them in vastly different and overlapping areas so we are layered with innovation. Keep following!!!
Congrats on the top 55!! Well deserved. Really liked both posters but A seems to be the winner! Good luck on the next challenge!! Hope to tune in to see your show one day soon
It sure does! Thank you for the well wishes. We hope you can tune into our show too!!
So happy you made it to the Top 55! Congrats on that!
Thanks Kevin!! What is your favourite poster??
The one with the horse heads is both hilarious and morbid. In love it!
hahahaha yes, it is morbid to have your head on a stick!
And please, for the love of cow cud, find a way to make Horsey an actual recurring character on the show! There has to be a way...
Yes, they must include the Horsey, I think everyone fell in love with him!
I am sure he will always have a way of making it into the season. Always in a way that surprises you!
Maybe it's just my jealousy of Shakespeare, or the fact that the horsey head poster reminded me of Voltron Lions for some reason, but I gotta go with A. Child of the 80s, what can I say... ;)
BUT I WANT TO PICK BOTH!!
making choices is hard.
hahahahahahaa for sure Kaycee!!! How can you choose when they are both so awesome and stellar???
There's just something about a hobby horse head superimposed onto a human body that makes me laugh out loud...how silly. How fabulous!! Keep up the great work, guys!
Thanks Alix! We will keep working hard!! I know that horse and those heads!!
Poster a has a good visual impact but after looking at both for a bit longer b started to grow on me, I think b tells me more about the show. This opinion and $2.20 will get me a cup of coffee at Starbucks.
Cam! You know I will buy you two cups of coffee for your opinion. Especially when it is laced with your good sense of humour! You are right, if you look at B more closely you get to see more of the story of the town. The drawings in the background are light. We will probably darken them up to stick out more in the future. A note about Poster A and Poster B "Welcome to Tulip". Both of those fonts were hand drawn by Kaycee. It's awesome because she didn't just pick a good font, she made it.
Poster A seems like classic CBC comedy stuff, like an Air Farce or Corner Gas style show, although it implies the show is about horses, which I don't think it is. Unless I missed something? Poster B seems to imply more about the concept, but again, the horse imagery muddles the message. The doodles are also rather washed out.
i am with you Kathy B
To me, the horse prop shows Tulip as the theatrical town it is. I love it. It adds to the Canadian small town feel, and shows an element of 'play' which is common to actors. The slogan on poster A is catchy and seems to allude to why they are in so much debt. A quirky group, this cast, which makes Tulip a place I really want to see more of!
Can it be a combo of some kind? I think the horse heads is funny, but I LOVE the poster b artwork. I am crazy about it. It's a standout. I love it I love it I love it.
Who knows? We love both directions and that we had an opportunity to show two ideas. I think Poster B really showcases the ingenuity of the Tulip folk. We wanted to show that when you don't have much you can still make something that sticks out.
I like all the posters but poster A made me laugh - long and out loud. AND it also has so much to see - the kind of image that has a great opening hit and keeps being funny and interesting even when you've seen it before. Bravo!
Brilliantly said Angela! We are thinking the same thoughts and thank you for articulating one of our goals for this week: "the kind of image that has a great opening hit and keeps being funny and interesting even when you've seen it before." We want to linger in all your minds and continue to be fresh to you when you revisit!
I like poster A. It is pretty funny I like the slogan with the image of the horse heads holding the human heads... pretty funny!
Poster A has a real following! It is quite hilarious. My imagination always create new reasons as to why they would have their expressions. It is a fun game. You should try it!!
CONGRATS!!! Can't wait to see what you'll come up with next!!
Thanks Rebecca! We are already working on it! Should be a good one too!
Great posters! I love em.
YESSS!!! Love love love this! Glad they are standing out.
Gotta go with horse heads all the way! Stellar comic image. The tag line is great especially knowing they're 2 million in debt.
Thanks Andy!! Yes, the tag line is connected to the idea of the town's bigger problem! We tried to create images that showed what are show was about! Not just that we had funny characters! We are listening fans!
both posters are well done.
Carly! Thank you! Glad you like our work this week. Keep following!
What I got out of this is that Kaycee Vanderberg is amazing. - Randy Justice
I know I know I know!!!! She is brilliant and has a great sense for comedy. We are glad she could bring our vision to life and then some!
Randy Justice, you are amazing. Appreciate the kind words!
You want all your cast on the poster, so A it is
Well there you have it Forman! Glad the decision was obvious to you. Keep following!!
Good stuff guys! Great design on both! i prefer the horsehide myself but like both the art directions! keep up the great work!-Littleton Falls
Thank you Jordan! We love them both but it is great to see what is really grabbing people right away. It says a lot about marketability and branding that works. Keep up the good work too!
LOL! Love them both but really A made me laugh out loud. I also love all you pictures, and so happy to see the whole gang there! Love you guys, can Congratulations on making top 55!
Thanks Monique!! It was fun being able to have us all together for the shoot. Really brought home the talent and vision we have.
Haha! Great design. Loving Tulip more and more as the weeks go by. Hurray on the top 55!!! Yeehaw!
I like A best.. really creative..
The first poster has a much more interesting look and a more colorful back ground. It draws your eye to it far more than the other and speaks to the project much better than the first one....good job!!!!!
Great work, love the use of optional pics. - Wharf Rats
Thanks Robbie and Wharf Rats! We really loved getting to show what it took behind the scenes this week to make those two strong posters. We loved the process. Old tools with new life.
Congrats!!! Top 55 this is awesome...
