(Contest Now Closed)Giveaway Contest: Win 500 Free Business Cards from NextDayFlyers.com

January 23 , 2012

This week I will be running a contest with a prize of 500 free full-color business cards from Next Day Flyers. Typically with giveaways on design blogs, the entry criteria is just to comment on the post stating what you would do with the prize, but I wanted to do something a bit more fun and engaging.

The Contest

Below I’ve provided you three random textures. Your job is to create a composition using all of these. You can also use your own photography, textures, resources, etc. Here are the textures, they are available for download as a Zip folder below (like all other texture packs)…

VV_Rust

VV_BookCover

VV_Sky

The type of piece you want to create is in your hands. It can be an altered photograph, a unified abstract texture, or anything you can think of. The only restrictions are that it must use all three of the photos above, and must be emailed to me by Saturday night (January 28th). I will evaluate the pieces based on aesthetics, creative use of the provided photos, as well as visual impact and staying power.

Here’s one more perk of entering this contest: With your individual permission, I will publish all submissions in their own post next week, with links to your own personal portfolios, blogs, etc. This will give you a bit of self promotion and potentially help you gain some new fans.

I will review all submissions as a whole on Sunday and announce the winner next Monday, January 30th. I will then direct the winner on how to cash in on their prize.

Email all submissions to “dschmieding@yahoo.com”. Simply a JPEG of your piece will be great, but if you would rather post it online somewhere and send me the link then that would work as well. Please also tell me whether you’d like me to publish your piece in the showcase next week.

If I left out any details or you have any questions at all, feel free to comment below or send me an email. Have fun with this!
