Design By Hümans Presents, Bright Futures Neon Art Contest
When British chemists Sir William Ramsay and Morris W. Travers discovered neon in 1898 I bet they didn't think they would be the ignition that started a whole fashion movement 90 years later. Psych! The eighties were rife with neon pink, green, yellow and blue and it was radical. As with all cool styles they roll around again years later. The neon chic of the MTV era is back! Bright bold colors are back in fashion and we at Design By Humans want to get our funky 80's vibe on.
We challenge YOU to design a T-shirt based around NEON colors. You must use only the pantone colors listed below and you must make it righteous! Dazzle us with a brilliance of color and reference all that was epic about the 80's as inspiration. The theme and imagery is all up to you but neon colors must be included. Any designs containing different colors will not be accepted. Submissions will be judged on your creative use of neon colors, cool trend setting imagery and overall reaction to this design brief. Put on your Wayfarer sunglasses, crank up the beats and drop some bodypoppin' moves because this is gonna get funky! Go forth artists and express yourselves with the neon design that will light up the dancefloors across the globe. We'd wish you good luck but you won't need it.
