Hey everyone, I’m back from my little break in England. It was awesome to be in the home of prepacked sandwiches and junk food. I had a lot of fun staying with friends in London, Cambridge and Nottingham where I studied. Now I’m back and I have lots of news:
1. I was a judge on Computerlove’s t-shirt design contest. I’m delighted that our very own Mootsie and his Moustache Man scooped 2nd place.
Its a really funny design, congrats Mootsie!
2. Our friend Dr Frank Piller is involved in a new design contest with a twist. This one allows you to design the shoe of your dreams, which will give you all a nice break from logos and t-shirts.
Here is the blurb
“Your task is to design a shoe model along a theme called “Original Origin”. This category of aesthetic trends expresses cultural values, regional roots and techniques and at the same time uses authentic materials and innovative shapes. The contest asks everyone to play with the theme and interpret it in the most creative, but still feasible way.”
If you submit something mail it to me and we can show it here. Read Franks post about it here, or jump straight to the competition here
3. The Losers shirt design is ready. I’m not sure if i’ll blog it here or keep you waiting longer :)
I’ll talk to the printers today, we only have 4 weeks until I leave so hopefully it will all be ready and sitting on your doormats by then.
4. The Logo Design CA special is out. With interviews with Kim and Nicolas. I picked it up in London at the weekend. They’ll be a full post about this in the next days :)
5. Page the German design magazine did a whole article about Crowdsourcing but didnt mention the OLP once :( Boo, hiss, boo!! Still if you want to read more about Crowdsourcing in Germany give it a read, we’re not bitter (much).
6. Spreadshirt has nice little anti-christmas design contest running. All you have to do is create an anti-christmas design and submit it to the Spreadshirt Marketplace with the tag “Anti-Christmas”. Prize is approx €350 in Spreadshirt gift vouchers. Deadline is this Friday. Again if you take part mail me the link to your design so we can show the other OLP peeps here on the blog!
Have a good week gang!
I hate X-Mas submission :-)

If you put it in the marketplace you’d stand a big chance of winning the anti-christmas comp and €250 of Spreadshirt vouchers? Just an idea :)
OK. I’ll do :-)
Glad to see your back. Too bad the German Magazine didnt put you guys in. Cant wait to see the posts on the x-mas submissions.
