If you're a typographer or graphic designer, we've a one hour design challenge for you.
We're offering no prizes – this is just a bit of fun for the long winter evenings – but we will publish the five designs we like best on the London Design Festival website and our Facebook page alongside a little information about you and your design practice.
Back in 2009 Pentagram did a great campaign for us based around quotations from major design figures. We'd like to revisit that idea by asking you to design a simple A4 poster based around one of the quotes you'll find on this website:
Design Was Here: 80+ Inspiring quotes about design
The rules are simple:
• Choose ONE quote from the list and find an original, impactful way of representing that graphically
• You must take no longer than an hour. OK, so we've no way of telling if you're cheating or not, but we trust you
• All designs must be in portrait A4 format at 300 dpi (2480px x 3508px)
•.Competition ends December 9 2010
• Email your entries to william.shaw@londondesignfestival.com.
OK? We look forward to seeing what you're up to, and publishing your entries.
Below are a few of the posters Pentagram did for us:
