Design competition! Win some southwest eggrolls.
Do you consider yourself somewhat of an artist? Do you enjoy ethnic food that has been mutated and watered down to suit your blunt American palate? Do you have trouble feeding yourself on a regular basis? Well my friend, this opportunity is for you. The Suit in Sneakers needs a logo. Not just The Suit blog, but The Suit me, which is why I’m holding an open design competition. Anybody from the interwebs can throw their hat in the ring for the grand prize of dinner for two at a local family eatery of your choosing. The only restriction is that you choose a place with crazy crap on the walls, as those tend to be more affordable then say, a place that doesn’t have crazy crap on the walls.
Here are the guidelines:
I want this to be more than simply my blog logo. I want it to be a symbol that represents me. Something that can be projected into the night sky when there is an advertising account that needs servicing. Something I can stamp on every piece of correspondence I send out.
The only requirements are that it incorporates my initials JF, and is somewhat of a compact shape so that it fits on a letterhead. It can have sneakers, some big dark framed glasses, big headphones, some sharkyness, something Miami related, whatever you like.
I would like all entries by Thursday, July 23rd so I can announce the winner on Friday the 24th. I can also post all the entries if you’re open to it. You can promote yourself as a freelance designer on my blog, which is read by literally dozens of people on a daily basis.
So please, tell a friend. Tell loved ones. Spread the word. There could be a basket of jalapeño poppers in it for you.
Will this prize be kosher, or is there some loophole where you’re gonna SCREW me out of a meal. Soup at Mendy’s doesn’t count.
Cancel the contest. I just won.
p.s. that guy looks like Daniel Plainview.
Ladies and gentlemen… I’ve traveled over half our internet to be here tonight. I couldn’t get away sooner because my new design was being presented at Coyote Hills and I had to see about it. That design is now advertising on two thousand stations and it’s paying me an income of five thousand dollars a week. I have two others in magazines and I have sixteen producing at Antelope. So, ladies and gentlemen… if I say I’m a graphic designer you will agree. You have a great chance here, but bear in mind, you can lose it all if you’re not careful. Out of all men that beg for a chance to design your advertisements, maybe one in twenty will be graphic designers; the rest will be speculators-men trying to get between you and the design-to get some of the money that ought by rights come to you. Even if you find one that has money, and means to sketch, he’ll maybe know nothing about colors and crayons and he’ll have to hire out the job on contract, and then you’re depending on some hippie artist that’s trying to rush the job through so he can get another toke off his marijuana cigarette just as quick as he can. This is the way this works.
Post the entries. I wanna see what everyone else came up with too.
