Grafik-Design Kurzbeschreibung

Hi Designers,

We have a new and creative contest for you to get involved in!

This contest is demanding that you roll up your sleeves and take part in a task that will need you to display your brilliant skills in typography.

We want you to take words that would normally have negative or ugly connotations, and turn them into something beautiful with the power of design.

Here are some ugly words to get you started:

Yuck
Gross / Gross Out
Hairy
Smelly
Rancid
Repulsive
Ooze / Oozed / Oozing
Vomit / Vomited / Vomiting
Puke / Puked / Puking
Phlegm
Snot
Mucus
Chafe
Moist / Moisten
Unlike
Ugly
Hate / Hater / Hate You
Disgust / Disgusted / Disgusting
Grotesque
Cynical
Treachery
Cacophony
Gripe
Scream
Shriek
Carnage
Butcher
Gruesome
Murder
Violent / Violence
Brute / Brutal
Crude
Freak
Loser

Submissions should use words from the English language only, with the exception of using slang terms. Feel free to use words outside the list we’ve provided, or modify the words in our list e.g. “disgust”/“disgusting.”

Please note: Submissions should use only 1 word or phrase per submission.

While DesignCrowd welcomes original hand drawn typography, the use of existing and established typefaces is also allowed! We encourage you to explore different media in your submissions (e.g. watercolour, ink, vector, pens, pencil, textures, embossing). See list at the end of the brief for reference material.

The entries that show creativity and exceptional technical execution will have the best chance of winning. This means that designers entering the contest should consider core elements of design - such as the role of shape, layout and color in their entries.

Make sure that you also upload high res/high quality images.
