So lets talk about this site.
It seems through contest winners they seem to favour 2.0 style, graphics over logo...
Would anyone consider entering?
I don't like the idea of doing work for free, or on a risk, well I say that I have been willing to take the odd risk, but then I'm only human. (I entered a shirt design for technics, but I had just done a a random set of doodles that were perfect for the brief, strange that I won...)
I was flicking through the briefs, this was the first one that caught my attention as it suits what I do...

Now this is a cover for a book, and dear god, all the entries look like low rent websites.
I honestly have to wonder how many of those designs have even considered what counts towards good print design!

This one as well! It's a shirt design competition, now I am not picking holes, but gradients on a tshirt?!?!?! There is one design that would be 9 (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) colours! Excuse the exclamation, if you want an explanation of why that is frightening I will give it.
So lets talk contests and such...
