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.

We thought we'd mix things up a little with our latest photography competition, Teenage Years.

Hopefully you'll find this a really fun brief to work on and don't be afraid of mixing type and illustrative elements with your photography.

A huge thank you to everyone who has entered the latest competition the entries are amazing and judging day should be lots of fun.

Christmas Surface Pattern 2012 Winner

  By Paula

Judging took place today for the Christmas surface pattern 2012 competition and I was in alot of trouble as I forgot the sweets!

Never mind we got on with our job which was very enjoyable as there were so many wonderful entries.

The entry above by Paula is our overall winner as the judges felt it was very commercial and very transferable across products. Well done Paula!

In addition the judges selected four runners up who will all receive the amazing Donna Wilson book:

  By Tammie

Tammie has used a gorgeous colour palette here which is very fresh and on trend for Christmas. Great work Tammie!

  By Suzyspellbound

Wow an amazing entry with so much detail. The design makes a dramatic and intricate pattern but would also break down into smaller design elements for additional designs. Very clever Suzy!

  By Rebecca

Rebecca has used a great fresh colour palette here combined with lovely illustrative elements to create this very commercial design. Well done Rebecca!

  By Kiley Victoria

It was wonderful to see type elements as a pattern which Kiley Victoria did with two of her entries. The poinsettia adds a lovely seasonal touch too to this vintage style pattern. Great work!

 

A very big congratulations to our winner and runners up you all did an amazing job. In addition a huge thank you to you all for entering the quality of submissions was very high and it was wonderful to see so many different patterns.

Don't forget you only have a few days left to enter our latest competition, What is Love? which will close at midnight Friday 6th January.

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


Hope to see your entries very soon!
