Well well, it looks like time is juuust about up for Faces of Africa.
Tomorrow is the final submission date for this awesome local ‘n lekker theme competition.
Here is my competition feedback so far!
First off I have to say that I am very impressed. I have looked through the submissions and am very happy with not only how many designs were entered, but also that there are some really wicked cool designs amongst them. After the two football theme competitions I have to say I was a tad worried that everybody would be over the whole “African thing”. Luckily I was wrong and some truly cool designs have been submitted.
Another interesting aspect of my competition feedback is the fact that not all of the submissions were from local South Africans. With a theme like Faces of Africa many international designers may find it hard to associate with the overall idea. However we have had a few internationals give it their best shot.
Everybody knows the drill for the Springleap.com t-shirt design competition. You cruise across to our website, create an account, download our template pack, send in your appropriately placed designs, wait for us to ok your design and then hey presto they will be ready for voting. One question that remains is the problem of t-shirt colour. While designers are “limited” to only one colour t-shirt, we are left wondering if future designs will be placed on various different t-shirt colours.
The answer to that question is evolving as we speak.
It first happened with the now famous WolFox design eSempowenis. Originally this design was submitted on a pink t-shirt and even though it was on a difficult colour choice it still made the top spot. Since then eSempowenis has been such a hit that it has been reprinted a few times and has ended up on 4 different colour t-shirts (pink, white, blue and army green). This is, at the moment, the best a design can hope to do in regards to being placed on multiple t-shirts colours.
