Hugo Graphic Design Contest
Entry deadline is 11:59 PM, PST – June 30, 2009.
Hugo Boss is asking for submissions from design fans, professionals, and students for concept ideas for its Hugo Create contest. Hugo Boss specializes in fragrance products for men and women.
The competition selects 10 winners from each contest round. One winner from the group will have their artwork published in the international urban magazine, i-D. All winners receive a $500 cash award. Other winning designs will be painted on New York building walls during the month of September.
The Hugo Create contest wants advertising poster designs that feature the HUGO Man bottle. The contest theme is “Summer Time.” Examples for this theme are favorite holiday moments, travel locations, or outdoor activities.
All visuals must be submitted electronically as RGB or JPEG files no larger than 500kb. Illustration, photography, painting, or any other medium applicable for visual design is acceptable.
The final format used to publish visuals on the Hugo Boss website is 672 pixels wide by 960 pixels high. Submissions can be in portrait or landscape orientation. If your entry is selected as a winner and is in landscape mode, you will need to turn in a version that is in portrait format.
Entries are judged on the most daring, expressive, and clever designs. Judges will be taking into consideration the uniqueness, quality, wit, and product relevance of submissions.
The deadline for this contest round is June 30, 2009. For the official contest rules, click here. For more information, the official entry form, and other contest materials, go to the official website by clicking here.

2-Year Old Laser Projection Designs
The really cool part of this technology, is that normal light based projection methods need reflective surfaces to improve luminance of the image, and rear light projection systems degrades over the life of the tube or device. These “new” technologies provide some interesting solutions to the old multiple screen displays, without loosing quality, and in fact: improving quality over any uneven surface. I look forward to the day when these devices were more consumer level, and from what one of these two videos suggest, they will hit the market in 18 months (2 years ago) at prices comparable or of not better than the current plasma or LCD technologies and for sizes generally larger. Doesn’t look like these products have hit the market… very, VERY interested in utilizing one of these types of projectors. It would ROCK the world we live in. Imagine being able to project a full motion flash piece on a slightly frosted window, sidewalk or whole storefront, bus terminal, the passing traffic… and it looking totally awesome! Man it would be fun an amazing canvas to paint on. Just wish i could find a way to get access to one that was mobile… man that would be fun.
