I realized recently that I started this thing too early. For some reason I had the first challenge week associated with the first week of summer term, which is bizarre because I am taking classes this summer and I should know better. Anyhow, due to the level of participation so far, the "reward" is free for the taking. A design a week is quite a lot to aske of anyone, especially during a vacation. I plan to stick to the schedule because that was how this all got started, I wanted to challenge myself.
I got an email from one of the followers recently and they told me that they had some ideas for the first challenge, but didn't feel like they were worth submitting. In every sketch, there is a kernel of a design. I hope that I can encourage some more submission by explaining that this is a challenge, but it is only a challenge in the sense that we are pushing ourselves to come up with different ideas. It certainly isn't a contest to see who is the best. I realize that most of the people are going to go be traveling or otherwise occupying themselves with entertaining activities that are specifically planned to shake off the detritus of school. I still hope that ya'll with find some time to participate in a challenge or two.
In reference to the title of this post, I will present the next prompt. I have decided to try a more specific challenge, a logo. This logo must have something to do with psu. It can be a variation on the current one or something completely different. It may help to think of a logo for a specific part of psu. It could be for the vikings or maybe the art/design department.
Some links that may be helpful in this challenge are,
www.welovetypography.com
www.ffffound.com
www.thedieline.com
welovetypography is a neat site of various exapmple of type, some are duds but there is some really cool stuff too. ffffound is a site of general art and design finds on the internet. The dieline is a site that concerns packaging, there are lots of examples of logos and such to be had here. BTW, FFFFOUND.com is of not safe for work and sometimes welovetypography is as well.
Whether you guys are designing or just enjoying your vacation, I hope you are having fun!
