DESIGN COMPETITION // DESIGN FOR THE WHO AND PRETTY GREEN - TSHIRT

     


Editorial via Talenthouse

BRIEF

Along with the Beatles and the Rolling Stones, The Who complete the holy trinity of British rock. It is generally acknowledged among rock aficionados that The Who in their heyday were the most exciting live band on the planet, with their Live at Leeds album hailed as the greatest live album of all time.

After a long summer on the road for their European Tour 'Quadrophenia and More', The Who, together with Pretty Green, the U.K based fashion house, are turning to the creative community for help designing new artwork. Aspiring graphic designers are invited to submit their graphic artwork, as inspired by the vast catalogue of The Who music, for the opportunity to have it produced and featured as a t-shirt and sold on Pretty Green.

OPPORTUNITY

One designer will have their artwork interpreted for a t-shirt and sold on Pretty Green's online store. In addition, they will receive: 
  • 5% royalty of all t-shirts sold*
  • $2,500
  • Exposure for their submission across The Who and Pretty Green's official social media channels
*After local sales tax is applied, sold at a retail value of £40.

  • Exposure for their submission across The Who and Pretty Green's social media channels

The Association for Goldsmith's Art has recently opened their Friedrich Becker Prize 2014 competition. This competition are submissions from gold- and silversmiths, jewelry and metal artists and designers, from Germany and abroad.
In awarding the Friedrich Becker Prize – donated by Hildegard Becker – the Gesellschaft für Goldschmiedekunst (Association for Goldsmiths’ Art), Hanau wishes to commemorate Friedrich Becker as an extraordinary individual and important designer, and in accordance with his spirit, to recognize the best of the succeeding generation of designers.
The Friedrich Becker Prize is endowed with 5000 Euro and has been awarded every three years since 1999, for outstanding, independent design with highest-quality execution.
Submissions should be jewelry or small hollow/flatware, either one-of-a-kind or a prototype for serial production with an innovative character typical of Friedrich Becker’s work, which have been produced within the last three years. The inclusion of new materials and techniques is equally as desirable as the utilization of the classic materials for jewelry, hollow- and flatware design.

Submission deadline is March 7, 2014.  Go here to register and submit your designs.

   MOD GEOS   



Bold, simplified prints are making their back into the runway scene in several of the Resort 2014 collections with these Mod Geos. Get graphic with basic shapes; squares, circles and polygons will be your best friends with this vintage print trend.

   TYPOGRAPHIC   



One quirky print trend that caught our attention from the Resort 2014 runway shows was the use of typography. Often executed in black and white for a more optical effect, we see how various compositions create positive and negative space, accentuating both geometric and organic shapes found in the letters and numbers.
