Teenage Years Competition Results

  By Sofi Lou

We had a great time this morning judging the Teenage Years photography competition and there was plenty of talk about the posters we all had on our walls as teenagers.

You guys really worked hard on what was quite a tough and challenging competition and we hope you had lots of fun with your photo-shoots.

Our winning image as shown above is by Sofi Lou and the judges were really impressed by the overall collection submitted by Sofi Lou. The styling and colour palette really evokes a sense of great style which we feel would appeal to teenagers. Congratulations Sofi Lou!

This month we selected five runners up who will each receive a copy of the book 'A Year of Mornings' which is one of my favourites.

Both images by Charlotte King

Both these gorgeous images above are by the very talented Charlotte King. Both images were firm favourites amongst our judges and again they conveyed a nostalgic mood which would appeal to teenagers. Well done Charlotte!

  By Kelly Michelle Norris

The judges selected this entry by Kelly as it was suitably styled and was a great take on the brief. Well done Kelly!

  By Rebecca Tovey

Really great image by Rebecca which captures the festival spirit! Well done Rebecca :-)

  By Deborah

  We loved this image from Deborah - a really great concept and it made us all smile. Well done!

 

So a huge congratulations to our winner and runners up and a big thank you to everyone who took part.

Gift Packaging Competition Winner

 By Paula

 

We thought we'd try something a bit different with this brief and I am sure lots of you will agree that it was a tough one.

The judging panel were looking for a concept that would enhance that 'special occasion' through the redesign of a gift box or envelope.

We had some really innovative entries for such a tough brief so many thanks to everyone who entered.

The winning entry as shown above is by Paula and the judges felt this delivered an innovative solution. It would also lend itself to other themes well - congratulations Paula.

 

The judges also selected two runners up who will each receive the book below as their prize.

  By Claire

A gorgeous entry by Claire and very commercial. The judges felt this concept would translate well across our different categories.

Well done Claire.

  By Carmen Leng

A lovely concept by Carmen which is simple but very well executed. Well done!

 

Many thanks to everyone who took part in the competition. This year we hope to work with lots more talented 3D designers so it was good to make contact with some of you.

Don't forget to check out our latest photography competition Teenage Years which is open for submissions until Friday 10th February.

 

Gift Packaging Competition

This morning saw our panel of judges gather to select a winner for our Gift Packaging Competition. Above are the top ten designs selected and we will announce the winner later today.

Well done everyone!

What is Love - The results

  By Cat

We were over the moon with the response we had to What is Love but it was such a tough call selecting our winner!

As you know the brief was all about love in its many forms and how you could creatively illustrate this for us.

The team who set the brief were looking for new innovative styles to refresh there range.

Our winning entry "Kiss" shown above by Cat really captures the beautiful and tender moment between two people in love.

The judges adored Cat's illustrative style and felt that it would translate well across not only cards but also gift bags, wrap and gifting products.

Beautiful - well done Cat!

 

Choosing the runners up was also a really tough call as we had so many strong entries in our Top 13 and we think we've found lots of new talent to work with!

    By Sophy Henn

Love poodles by Sophy was tough competition for the winners spot and a firm favourite amongst Tigerprinters and Facebook!

A very simple design but using a illustrative technique that we've not really touched. We would love to see this design developed more for product to see how it would translate but overall it's just incredibly sweet!

Well done Sophy

By Rebecca Rendle-Birch

We saw lots of really great sentiment coming through this month and we loved Rebecca's combined with the sweet illustration.

Beautifully executed - well done Rebecca and a runner up for the last two competitions!

By Holly Blackman

Another great example of strong editorial this time by Holly Blackman. I think most of us can relate to the editorial and the styling is very commercial and appealing to customers.

Well done Holly!

By Julia

Our judges really loved this quirky entry and I know it had a great response on Facebook!

Gorgeous illustrative style, quirky character and the caption is very orginal.

The judges felt this would be very suited to a Valentine's send.

Great work Julia!

 

A big congratulations to our winner Cat and each of our runners up! However not forgetting a huge thank you to everyone who entered this month we had a great time looking at all the wonderful entries. As always we hope you got something out of taking part and we hope you'll check out the latest photography competition, Teenage Years.

 

In addition if you fancy something a bit different we have a gift packaging competition which will close Thursday 26th January.
