Last Week: Abdz + Sticker Robot + Hydro74 Contest

marcos333 — Wed, 28 Mar 2012 10:22:10 +0000

For the first time Abdz is doing a contest in partnership with an artist and a sticker brand, just in case you don't know both, let me introduce you to them.

About

Sticker Robot

Sticker Robot it's a top notch Sticker company, producing the best and most extraordinary genres of sticker you will ever see. Working mainly with silk screen, their printing technique can make any sticker dream you have come true.

Hydro 74 (Joshua Smith)

Hydro74 is a Orlando based designer, otherwise known as Joshua M. Smith. The soul purpose of my career is to push the boundries in doing what I feel is relevant to the market as well as extract various elements and trends to be able to offer them up in my own personal work. But let's be honest. I do what I love because I love it. Not because I have to do it, nor am forced to do it, but rather passionate about doing what I do. I firmly believe in having set style tones, yet a sense of diversity to make any various project unique to the demands that are set forth (Hydro's website).

How it works

Your design can be anything you wish, but do it only on BW.

First step is to download the working template here(supplied as illustrator eps and photoshop tiff files).

The design should be black and white. The dimensions for the sticker are 3" x 3" and must be at least 300dpi and must be designed in the CMYK color mode.

When entering your design to the pool on Flickr, save it as a 72 dpi Jpeg 500 X 500 pixels and name it "Abdz Sticker - name of the art".

The theme

The artworks should be all black and white, a little reverence to our friend Hydro 74. Besides that, the theme is free, just watch out for the colors.

The prizes

First place: Pixelmator license, 1000 stickers of the winner's design, 1 poster and 15 fonts from Hydro 74's collection.

Second place: Abdz Book, 500 stickers of the winner's design and 10 fonts by Hydro 74.

Third place: 250 stickers of the winner's design and 5 fonts by Hydro 74.

The other 5 best artworks: Stickerobot pop culture parody pack and Hydro74 sticker selection.

Deadline

The deadline is April 1, 2012. Please read the instructions on how to submit your entry. You can enter up to five designs. The winning entries will be posted on Abduzeedo, Sticker Robot and Hydro74.com.

Bonus Discount

All Abdz readers got a special discount till the end of the contest on Sticker Robot store by using the coupon code ABDUZEEDO in your shopping cart.

Abduzeedo Photoshop Battle Highlights

abduzeedo — Thu, 05 Aug 2010 02:13:28 +0000

This past July Abduzeedo put on our first offline event. Despite the fact that I was pretty nervous about how it would turn out, it actually went really well. A lot of people showed up and now we're planning to organize another battle in another city, or maybe even another country.

The Photoshop Battle consisted of eight designers battling it out to take home the title of Abduzeedo Photoshop Battle World Champion. We'd draw a subject in which the contestants would have to design a wallpaper in 30 minutes. Even though that's a pretty short time to create something cool, the final results were stunning. After almost seven hours of dispute, we had our first Abduzeedo Photoshop Battle World Champion: Cássio Braga.

Below you can check out a video by John Arlington with the highlights of the event, (in which John was kind enough to include English subtitles for all you non-Portuguese speakers out there.)

The World Collabs #3 - with James White

aloa — Mon, 05 Jul 2010 02:38:16 +0000

Abduzeedo takes pride in being one of the worlds leading design blogs. Having interviewed a bulk of the most infamous creative geniuses, we want to use our potential to introduce a new star on the Abduzeedo stage …YOU.

This is our third contest for The World Collabs. Our new cutting edge Abduzeedo collaboration project, which will give you the possibility to collaborate and compete with the worlds leading designers and artists.

What is "The World Collabs"?

"The World Collabs" will give you the possibility to work with PSD files of established artists. TWC gives you a secret in-view in the workflow of the stars and catapults you miles forward in your journey to design heaven. This way you learn to practice with different shapes, backgrounds, patterns brushes and new styles.

Every month we will offer you an unfinished piece of an experienced and accredited graphic designer to the world.

The piece will be unfinished, so you can complete the PSD-file with your very own style. This way every month you can collaborate with the best designers of the world. The final pieces will be judged by the Abduzeedo Team and the artist himself. The three best works will be rewarded with prizes.

Prize

1. $ 200 (send via PayPal), an approval for an original collaboration with the artist and a feature on Abduzeedo
2. $ 100 (send via PayPal)
3. A Single Version of image editing program Pixelmator (worth 59 $)
4. A Copy of the Logo Book "Lords of Logos" (worth 55 $)

Artist of July: James White

I am very proud to present the artists for our third Collaboration post: James White. In his 11-year career he worked for a number of professional companies performing both web and print design, gaining experience through a wide variety of projects and clients, both large and small.

He is one of our favorites at Abduzeedo and has been featured in numerous articles and interviews ( Interview: James White ).

I have always been pursuing my personal design and art projects on my own time. This led to me creating Signalnoise.com, my personal art blog which serves as a conduit to the global art community and has become a source for spreading inspiration, process and technical information. This eventually grew into an online store where I sell my posters to people all over the world.

http://www.signalnoise.com/

Washington Post Peeps Diorama Contest

amanda — Fri, 02 Apr 2010 09:41:05 +0000

In good Easter spirit, I bring you...Peeps! Because, really, what better way to put Easter weekend into gear than with candy? Delicious marshmallow chicks and bunnies, at that!

For those of you outside the US and Canada, these are Peeps:

The Washington Post holds an annual Peeps diorama contest every Easter. This year is their 4th consecutive year of Easter Peeps fun and the entries are way beyond incredible! I was really impressed with the crazy amount of creativity that went into some of these. People even went so far as to take popular news, like the ridiculous balloon boy hoax of last October for instance, and reenact the story with Peeps!

Hopefully this post will inspire you to make something cute with candy this weekend. I'm making Peeps cupcakes :) Granted not as creative as these dioramas but still equally as tasty! I'll share my Easter baking inventions on twitter. Share yours with me too! Happy Easter folks!

Threadless Loves Havaianas Challenge

abduzeedo — Thu, 01 Apr 2010 05:43:39 +0000

Havianas and Threadless are two brands that we really love because of the culture they created around them, it's hard to think about these brands without thinking about a beautiful and well done designs. Now they got together and have a super cool challenge for us, to create a design for both flip flops and a tee.

Havaianas, the world’s most stylish and comfortable flip-flop, is collaborating with Threadless.com, the world’s premier online design community, to launch the website’s first ever footwear challenge on March 15th. Six designs will be chosen, manufactured by Havaianas and sold as limited edition sandals on http://www.havaianasus.com this July.

Flip flops and t-shirts go together like tiny umbrellas and piña coladas. The combination conjures up sweet thoughts of bright sunny days on the beach spent with your toes in the sand with your laptop hidden far, far, away. Now's your chance to convey that laid-back awesomeness to the world with the ultimate combo-canvas: the best rubber flip-flops in the world plus an awesome Threadless tee!

This is the first worldwide open call for Havaianas flip flop designs, ever! It's also the first Loves challenge that jumps beyond the t-shirt canvas! And you, friend, could be the first Threadless designer to create flip flops! #1s all around!
