That might need some explanation. Viva is a weekly magazine here in Holland "focosued on women between the ages of 20 and 35, with a higher education, who have a strong opinion." Boomerang mostly makes free cards for in the bars and clubs. The cards are usually a little edgy and humorous. Besides the free cards, Boomerang also works with companies looking for new graphic products (ads, cards, beer bottles, etc). Freelancers and amateurs alike can pitch their ideas. One running task is to "illustrate the weeks news" for Viva.
Last week Tom made and uploaded a card in response to the news about a movement to have warnings put on fashion photos where the models (near-perfect) bodies have been further photoshopped. The next day Tom got a call from Boomerang that his illustration had been chosen! Yay! And here it is:
This is not the first time Tom's design has been chosen by Boomerang, but it's the first time he's won for Viva. "Boomerang-ing" has been Tom's new hobby for the last few months. While it's fun for him just to do it, it makes it even more fun to get some recognition, too!
