What is Graphic Design Poster Competition
2008 at 01.47 pm posted by Veerle Pieters
Are you ready for some creativity? I hope you are because it’s finally time for my previously announced What is Graphic Design Poster Competition. Sharpen your pencils and let those creative juices boil until you come up with a unique concept. I’ve waited a bit longer to start this as I got a few requests from people that are off skiing this week and wanted to join. Now you can submit your poster untill February 15th.
What do you need to do?
The basic concept of this contest is to come up with something creative or witty that visualises the question 'What is Graphic Design?'. It doesn't matter if you can't draw as it can be all type as well. So for example you could look at all the comments of the orginal post and pick something out and translate it to a visual message. Basically this is your one time chance to give total freedom a shot. Like I said you could use some of the things you've learned here but that's certainly not an obligation.
So what can you win?
Thanks to some great people I was able to gather a list of attractive prizes to win. Be sure to check the sites of the sponsors.

I'll be the judge and jury :)
I'll base my final judgement on a lot of factors, like creativity, placement of things, good copy, etc. So like I said before you don't have to be a creative genius to win, just make something orginal and funny and you'll get a fair chance too. So all you need to do is:
Where to put your art work?
You upload your artwork to your Flickr account and post in the pool that I created for it and make a text link to it via the comments. If you don't have a Flickr account you can join for free. Becoming part of the pool is easy just click join on the right. If you do it like that I can follow all new submissions by RSS.
Join via Flickr
- Create your masterpiece in these dimension 750px wide and 1000px high
- If don't have a Flickr account already sign up for one it's free.
- Become a member of the group by going the group and click join this group? on the right.
- Upload it to your Flickr account and place it in the pool "What is Graphic Design Poster Competition" and text link to it in the blog comments by using <a href="http://www.mysite.com/">my poster</a>
- Don't forget to set the content type of your poster to "other - art, illustration, CGI, etc." and NOT as a photo as wanted by the Flickr guidelines
Update: Don't forget to add your entry to the Flickr group/pool. It is very easy to do so: just go to your picture and above it you'll see the second item “send to group”. When you click on it it will load the groups you are part of. Just look for “What is Graphic Design Poster Competition” and select it. That’s all, it should now be in the group/pool.
Update II:Don't also forget to set the content type of your poster to "other - art, illustration, CGI, etc." and NOT as a photo as wanted by the Flickr guidelines. If you already uploaded it you can change it under the organize menu and go to the poster (choose recent uploads), double click the thumb of the poster and in the popup window choose filter and select "other - art, illustration, CGI, etc."
Further info:
- More than one entry is ok
- Entry must be submitted by Friday February 15th
Good luck and may the creative gods serve you well :D I already submitted mine just as inspiration but don't worry I'm not playing ;) ... and it's not ok to copy mine :D
Update III:Good news! The good folks from Fontshop and OurType have supplied me with some extra prizes.
- From FontShop: 2 Font books
- From Our Type: De Arnhem family
With quality of entries so far I'm sure I'll find some good use for it :)

Wohoo! I’m excited, and collecting my ideas ;)
2
Wooow so many ideas, so little time. But i already have CS3 :(
3
Thanks V! Ready, set, go!
4
That’s gonna be awesome!
5
This competition is just great! And the prices are amazing :) I will definitively enter this competition with no hope of winning, but hey, one can always try eh? :)
6
Finally! :)
Just one question: Has the «claim» to be included in the artwork?
Thanks.
7
I got a question about a procedure :D
I’ve sent my poster to the Flickr pool but where should i post a link to it: here in my comment or ...?
In any case, apologizing, i post it here(i hope you correct me if i’m wrong:
my poster
On a side note: being your fan for a long while now (not if I’m trying to win this way :D - this competition was right in time after I’ve finished one not that satisfying project.)

If you mean the “what is graphic design?” part it’s not obligated to put it in. The poster should fit as an answer to what it really is since that is the concept.
lmn said:
It’s indeed in the comments like mentioned in the Join via Flickr part.
9
This is my poster. I hope someone like it :)
10
This is my first shot :)
11
Good! I also try to do something
12
"Upload it to your Flickr account and place it in the pool "What is Graphic Design Poster Competition" and text link to it in the comments by using <a href="http://www.mysite.com/">my poster</a>"
question, this <a>...</a> is in the poster comment or on the group comment??
BTW this is mine my poster
13
Sergio said:
I thought it was clear that it was in the comments of this post since you can’t post it in the comments on Flickr. I’ve added the word blog so it’s super clear now.
14
Can you make my logo bigger?
NO!!!!
What’s with all the unused space in this design?
It’s called whitespace.
graphic design is…
15
thanks veerle!!
16
Second shot :)
17
Umm, so this is my try…
right here
I think I have to make lots to even stand a chance against the awesome ones that is in the pool right now.
18
My poster, not the last?!
19
What happend? It says “Group Photo Pool (0 photos)” and “There aren’t any photos in the What is Graphic Design Poster Competition pool.” here.
Does it happen anywhere else, or is it just me?
20
I wasn’t going to participate, but then I got an idea, so I’ll be all over this tomorrow :)
21
my poster is here!
My first attempt…
22
Hey Veerle.
My entry for your competition is right here.
all the best from germany,

Here’s my poster. Hope it’s ok. The other ones look so amazing!

26
This sounds fun! I’ll give it a shot.
27
Here is my attempt :-)

Thomassl said:
I don’t see anything wrong on my end. I’ve checked twice once logged in to Flickr and once not and both times I see the entries. The only thing wrong is that one entry has a private setting but I’ve mailed that person to change that. Could be Flickr flipping out because it sometimes shows the wrong number of entries but if you click to go to the poster and browse that way you see them all.
29
Great competition, Veerle.
Here’s my go:
Graphic design is getting your message fly across
30
Hi Veerle,
First, let me thank you for this great competition and I hope to come up with a good design for this.
But, I am confused,...everyone in this pool seems to be in quest for answering the question ‘What is Graphic Design?’ and what I interpreted from your post that we have to visualize The Question and design should still itself and make us ponder the same question. And also started thinking some idea on the same lines.
Should it be ‘A visual Answer to The Question’ or ‘visual Question itself’ ?
Can you please address this issue and make us/me clear this ambiguity.
I am sorry if I sounded really dumb in there. I appreciate your time and response.
31
Kuldeep said:
The concept is indeed answering the question “What is Graphic Design?”. You should try to visualize the answer in a way how you perceive it.
Hope that makes it clear now.
32
My poster is there now!
:D
33
Here is mine.
34
Bonfire Poster
A little cheeky perhaps but I’m happy!
35
I’ve watched this site for a few months now. I like the simple tutorials and things I just missed or overcomplicated. And actually, I love the fact that there is a comment board where people seem generally nice and constructive. This contest has pulled me in. I will hopefully submit mine within a few days and from now on will comment instead of just viewing.

Can’t…stop….making…..posters….
here’s another one.
71
Design - PURPOSE Driven
Art - PASSION Driven
Design - THINK
Art - EMOTE
Design - OBJECTIVE
Art - SUBJECTIVE
Design - BRAIN
Art - HEART
Design - FUNCTION
Art - FASHION
Design - Sense
Art - Style
Something like these…. you know.
“Design is not how it LOOKS… it is how it WORKS…” - Steve Jobs
If the outcome of the work is based on the objective and purpose of the concept of the project then we consider it as a design. On the other hand, if the outcome of the work is purely based on the emotion of the creator and with the intention to express one’s passion, feeling and desire, then we consider it as a form of art.
Design can use art to serve its purpose and Art can use design to express itself.
These two can go hand in hand just like our MIND and EMOTION is working.
Thank you. =)
72
Patience.
73
Alright, here are mine! I submitted one with two variations (hope that’s okay).
Original Poster
Variation #1

Veerle, you didn’t specify if we could use previous art. I made this last year, it’s an original idea of mine. I hope it’s acceptable.

Announcement
86
This is my second try. Yummy!
87
There seems to be a number of comments on these posters claiming that graphic design is not or cannot be art. That is ridiculous, in my opinion. That’s like saying that Architecture cannot be art.
It’s pretty sad to think that graphic design should only be a commercial activity and not contain any “artful” thought to it. That is what I think good design is made of.
88
Added a second:
Graphic Design is copying Apple
89
Try Too. :)

176
@Everyone: Looking through the submissions here is a WONDERFUL treat! Thank you.

I think that going with this idea is indeed interesting. I will inform some of my friends with this events as they were interested in this type of events.

Sergio said:
Apparently you have to upload 5 pictures if you are new to Flickr and if you do that your poster will show up in the group. Didn’t know that. (thanks to Billy Tamplin)
189
I was a first time Flickr user and only submitted one poster as my first Flickr post. My poster did not show even though it was marked “public”. I contacted Flickr and they said that everyone must upload 5 images in order for it to be searchable by other people. So after uploading 5 pictures, I found myself part of the group’s pool. I hope this helps.

im too, hummmm…....
198
^_^ ^_^
199
I’m having the same issue - my entry doesn’t show up unless I am logged into FLICKR, not when I am in the public view. I am wondering if this is because I am not a “member”? since I didn’t see my icon in the members section, either?
200
Hi Veerle, and thanks for the creative contest.
I had a question: Is it required for posters to use CMYK? I usually work for on-screen presentations, so I decided to create them in RGB.
Please tell me, so I can change them.
Oh by the way, what did you mean by “good copy” ?!
number 1, number 2, number 3
Thanks, again
201
Hi everybody, here’s my entry in the contest. Have a nice day !
202
I forgot to add that it takes about a day or two for the flickr images to become searchable (after uploading your first 5 images).
203
Here is my entry to the pool of extraordinary works of graphic design. I hope to find the time to do more.

Hi,

269
Here is my 2nd entry for this contest!
270
Hi
my 3. poster
271
First, more comical idea.
Sat back had another think about it and went with a second idea.
272
Last one here:)
273
This is my way to change the world.
274
Graphic design is a visual language
275
Eeeek I’m nervous, heres mine :-)

Hello Veerle,
I was wondering if “by friday” means we can still post on friday or if we haven’t done it before friday it’s over ? (I apologize for the bad English, sigh)
Also, if it’s on friday, what’s the closing hour ?
Thank you !
278
I’ve posted mine here: Poster
279
And here are mine:
Entry #1
and:
Entry #2
280
Thanks for doing this… Here is my first try.
281
Hey Veerle, one question:
Can I submit a 1000 (width) x 750 (height) poster?
Thanks a lot!
282
The outcome of this competition is already bigger than any price! What a great idea, Veerle! If someone asks “What exactly is that what you do anyways?”, then just point him to Veerles group :)
283
I actually finished these on time! Here are my three entries:
Graphic Design Is… FREEDOM
Graphic Design is… LOVE
and
Graphic Design is the sweet frosting on the content cupcake!
284
Here is my entry.
285
my second entry.
286
hope this works!
287
My entry has been posted.
I’m a professional designer and in all my years this is the first time I’ve ever enetered into a contest. What fun!
288
Here my second attempt
289
Thanks for the inspiration and such a great contest, Veerle. I wish I had more time to express Graphic Design in different ways, but this one, in my opinion, summarizes everything.
290
Here‘s my second attempt.
291
I’m a bit disappointed that you’d not answered my question. (Maybe I was asking obvious things?!)
Here are my edited entries:
(Flickr doesn’t allow me to update my previous photos, what a lovely restriction!)
Elephant & 6 Blinds, Breath of life 1, Breath of life 2, Breath of life 3
292
Here is mine poster :)
Have a nice day

Yes it is.

Hey, give me some slack will you! There are a lot of things to oversee here and it’s easy to miss something. Good copy means good text.
Flickr does allow you to do that just look at the right side right above where it says this photo is public, you’ll see Replace this photo. (only on Flickr Pro)
298
Strange, I posted a comment here yesterday with my entry, but it’s gone… anyway, here goes again :)

I just read your article in Layers it rocks! Amazing site, you helped me to start design with CSS, and start thinking about using web standards. Thanks again Veerle!!!
326
Is it okay to remix existing works of ours, if we think it would be appropriate to the theme? (ie…if I created something some time back, and want to riff on it again, and it’s not the exact same existing piece, is that okay?)

Basically you can just reuse *elements* of previous work. It’s not ok to just post anything that was created a long time ago as a whole.

thanks for this nice contest
353
Thanks, Veerle.
I had to say so, because the deadline was approaching and you might not had seen my post.
Sorry if I annoyed you.
I hope you a good time judging. (Which I believe would be very time-consuming)

For one, it’s not art, it’s 100% intentional and it should never be misunderstood for decoration.

The Puzzle Answer
412
Hi Veerle,
I guess I submitted four entries, and forgot to link them here. I also tried to submit my very last one this evening, but missed the deadline by by a couple of hours or something because I didn’t realize! Here is a link to my photostream on Flickr:
It was fun to see all of the the great posters and the creativity and that was generated, once again in this contest. So many talented people out there!
413
Well this sucks!! No where in your blog is specified that entries should be entered by midnight (Feb 15th) Belgian time (GMT +1) or instruction to come and read this info at Flick. Is 10:31 PM here in California…
Please consider my entry… I uploaded to my account:

It’s on the blog in the comments. It’s not that hard to look for what I said in blue. A bit of effort please. It’s over sorry, I have to draw the line somewhere.

Your entry seems to be in the pool, so you are OK.

There are so many good entries here…. and thanks for giving us a great brief to work to. It’s a shame we don’t get briefs like this at work :D
416
Good luck to everyone, people. Veerle, you have a lot of work ahead :P

:( I can’t see my entry on the blog comments above. I entered my poster last Saturday and it is in the Flickr group.

Hello Veerle,
I commented here yesterday at the time I posted my submission in the Flickr group (before the deadline). But I don’t know why it doesn’t appear here today :(

Geez, I need to pay closer attention. I skimmed over where it said to post a link in the comments.
Hope it’s not too late.
My “What is GD?” submission on Flickr, added on Wednesday the 14th.
429
I understand. I actually printed your post to follow instructions at home since I currently don’t have internet access there. Never occur to me that additional instruction where going to take place in the comment section. Oh well.. my poster sucked anyway.
Sorry if I got upset… couldn’t help it after missing my shot to those great prizes.
Good luck people.

Hello,
It seems I missread something and forgot to post the link here to my entry.
So I hope that not posting here in the comments doesn’t influence my entry in the contest.
Here’s the link to my poster
Again, deepest apologies for the delay.
Best wishes,
Sorin

Posted the entry to the pool last week but just saw that I should post a link here…hopefully I didn’t mess it up.
