Buongiorno, disse il metronotte – contest

'Buongiorno, disse il metronotte'
(c) Katalin Daka 2011
my submission at this graphic design contest – deadline 21 June
vector illustration and photoshop.
I liked this contest because the subject is free and you are totally free to create your illustration in any way you want: the only rule is to keep the man with the bicycle at the centre (by downloading the rules of the contest they give you the image in .psd with trasparent background).

Please vote my poster at the contest's facebook page here.
To vote, first you have to 'like' the contest's page and then you can browse my poster at the photo gallery and click on 'I like'.

*FREE PRESS* interantional poster design contest

Here it is the new international contest from the Graphicplayers!!! Partecipate and share the information with your friends!

The contest has the aim to select posters from national and international graphic designers in order to set up an exhibition focusing on the controversial topic of freedom of the press (“Free
press”).
“Free press” is searching for experiences or thoughts on the topic of press, freedom of expression and freedom of information diffusion by designing a poster. You can be freely inspired by today’s stories or from the past concerning your own country or any other countries of the world. Press not only intended as radio, television or newspapers, but also as Internet, blogs and social networks.
We would like to encourage people worldwide, especially graphic designers, graphic design students and professionals of visual communication, to express their ideas by designing a poster.
The most valuable works will be selected and exhibited during the sixth edition of “Vicino/Lontano - Identità e differenze al tempo dei conflitti” (Udine, 6-9 May 2010) organized by Vicino/Lontano cultural association (www.vicinolontano.it) during the period of
the exhibition and longer.

Graphicplayers vs. vicino/lontano

We are writing an international graphic desgin/illustration contest for under 35 about some really interesting topics, like: freedom of the press, actual political situation, etc :) more info coming soon!
