Welcome to our Fall Famous Graphic Designer Contest!
Subscribe now to enter your students!
Our second biannual design contest will be open to the students of teachers who are members at DigitalArtTeacher.com. This contest will be a little different; it will piggy-back off the Introduction To Graphic Design lesson. Both student and teacher of the winning design will receive a prize (books, sketchbooks, pencil kits, see below) which will be mailed to the recipients’ school on Nov 1st.
To Enter:
- Every qualifying student will submit a short description of a famous graphic designer whom they admire. The description must include (1) the branch of design in which they work (advertising, brand design, book cover design, etc.), (2) an explanation of why they admire that designer, and (3) reasons why they would like or dislike working in that field. Also, attach a picture of their favorite work. (An example has been attached to this form. 🙂
- Fill out the Entry Form online. If you submit more than one design, you’ll need to fill it out and submit it twice. You’ll receive an email confirmation.
