CONTEST: 10TouchPoints

michele — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 05:22:17 +0000

Why wait for change when you can make it happen?There’s more to design than the eye can see. Design is what makes up the world around you and how you relate to your environment; ultimately affecting the way you work, play and live.

With 10TouchPoints, you have the chance to improve your surroundings through good design for a better quality of life. Ask yourself, WHY NOT? and see tomorrow’s possibilities become today’s solutions.

Whether it is that bus stop you wait at every morning, a seat at your favourite hawker centre or the humble parking coupon, a touchpoint simply refers to the point that connects what we use with the people who provide them.

By bringing designers, major service providers and the public together to collaborate, to investigate the problems and to explore the solutions, 10TouchPoints helps to envision a better way to experience everyday life in Singapore through design.

CONTEST: HUGO Create

michele — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 14:44:56 +0000

Unleash your creativity to make the world a better place. HUGO Fragrances has teamed up with environmental organization Pur to plant a tree in Peru’s Amazonian Rainforest for each special edition HUGO Man and HUGO Element fragrance sold. From January 2010, HUGO Fragrances lovers can support the sustainability initiative One Fragrance, One Tree just by purchasing their favorite perfume. The Peruvian plantation sponsored by the Boss/Pur project covers 800 hectare (three times the area of NYC’s Central Park). Each special edition packaging includes a unique “tree code” to allow customers to view the location of the tree their purchase sponsored.

Designers, illustrators and photographers can also make a great contribution to this reforestation project by creating a visual and spreading the word. Visuals should contain the HUGO Man bottle and convey a strong concept in line with the theme One Fragrance, One Tree. Be creative, use your imagination as well as the technique(s) of your choice. The 10 winners receive $500 and global recognition. The visual of the round winner will be published in style magazine i-D.

Deadline is February 28, 2010 and the winners will be announced on April 1, 2010. You can find more information and examples by other participants on the HUGO Create website.

CONTEST: Design a Uniform

michele — Thu, 21 Jan 2010 12:22:39 +0000

Refinery Concepts is seeking sketches, drawings and material suggestions for functional but funky uniforms for both female and male servers working in a restaurant, offering a menu of both traditional and inventive Japanese food. The establishment seeks to become a popular, attractive eatery, which easily transforms into a buzzing nightspot and has an “edgy street meets chic” and “old meets new” Japanese theme.

The space bears images centralizing on the idea of skin art -and incorporating conventional tattoo art with Japanese culture. The front-of-house-staff will be young and active- requiring attention-grabbing attire, while not reducing their operative skills (eg no long hanging tassels, very long pants, large hats, very thick or flammable materials).

For the competition please email contest@refinery-concepts.com. Illustrations with rough propositions for materials and colors to be used. The winner will receive a S$ 300 prize and a mention on the venue’s new website – a boon to any aspiring stylist.

Please do note that you are not responsible for production, only one consultation with our tailor upon your design being selected.

Deadline: 12 February 2010.
