We were happy to see all of entries came in over the weekend, but we’d like to see some more drawings for a few of Rams’ designs:

Braun HF1 Television (1958)

Braun RT20 Tischsuper Tube Radio (1961)

Braun HLD4 Hairdryer (1970)

Braun Citromatic (1972)

Braun T3 Domino Table Lighter (1976)

Naturally, applicants are welcome to draw any of the others as well.

Just a couple reminders:
-Be sure to fill out the information at the top of the form
-We’ll be printing these in grayscale, so black & white works best
-One product per entry please (although you are welcome to submit as many entries as you like)

Good luck and hope to see you on Wednesday, when we’ll be announcing the winner!
