When it comes to the entries in Planet Green and Hessnatur's Eco-Tee Design Challenge, judges Summer Rayne Oakes and Miranda Purves have their favorites--but Hessnatur creative director Miguel Adrover knows just what makes the brand tick. His favorite image this week is the one submitted by Lily Chin, shown here.

"I respect the power of words, but for me the image, the visualization of an idea, is what moves me. If I don't react spontaneously, if I have to rationalize my way to a  judgment, then the communication was unsuccessful. This week there were many such images and choosing just one was difficult.

"I was taken with the simplicity of the design created by Lily Chin. The line drawing of a plant breaking through the earth. I like to imagine that the tiny plant grows to maturity warmed by the sun, fed by the rain with only organic supplements to nourish and protect it. This is Earth's way. And it's the best way. The design is a symbol of purity and health to me, the essence of our commitment to save the planet. So, Lily, I applaud your design. As she says so beautifully, "made by earth with love". It's my pick of the week."

Think you can do better? Submit your own design on our entry page through September 1, and you'll join the other contestants vying to have their design printed and distributed on a Hessnatur tee.
