Last post for the day. A graphic design source firm called Veer, which sends out delightful and sassy little catalogs, has a periodic competition called Lightboxing. Taking the title-fight metaphor and invite two designers to do battle in the squared circle. Provided with a 'lightbox' of six items-typically few images and a font or two-the two designers craft a piece out of them. Adding a little Iron Chef in, they have to design to a theme. One, for instance, was country music.
The whole result is whimsical, energetic, fun, delightful, and inspriring.
