Contest Brief

We are looking for a creative and talented individual to create a wide range of patterns, prints and designs to be used as pillows, bags and wall art for needlepoint (a form of creative sewing). We therefore decided a competition would help find what we are looking for.

Some existing, copyright free art may be adapted (e.g. William Morris, or Audubon), however we are more importantly looking for someone who can create and adapt unique pieces, as well as create designs from scratch.

1. Familiar with Photoshop
2. Prompt and professional
3. Able to adapt and create from scratch all styles, cool, traditional, modern, fun, quirky etc..

Competition:
Please design 1 pillow (15x15"), one belt (1.25x36") and one bag (20x15"). We would prefer the full spectrum of your design potential to be shown in those 3 products. To get an example search google images for;

needlepoint pillows
needlepoint belts
needlepoint bags

The designs can be ANYTHING. The winner is most likely going to be the person who is the most creative, and unique in their designs. The winner may have the chance, if suitable for our needs, to have ongoing, almost daily work. Winner will transfer ownership of the designs in exchange for the competition prize.

Thanks and good luck!

    Anyone who can create a very traditional, chic design that is more muted and toned down and classic looking would help us, as we need a wide spectrum of design capabilities.

      If you like to be a detective...then do it properly.. I have already won various contests for my ability at vectorizing complete images form scratch...so do your homework. And also your detective work might start by reading the brief properly since your design didn't even follow the instructions nor meet the basic requirements. Thank you for your concern. We all want fair contests. I apologize to gggaaa for such chatter. good luck to all-

    Those are cool! And suitable for needlepoint. A good compromise of simplicity and detail, and colorful! We would like to make sure you are able to do a wide variety of styles. Within approx 5x5" Canvas can you create an Eiffel tower (to be used as a Christmas ornament (stitched and hung on the tree). This time the style must be traditional and not modern in any way. Nice job.

    Hi, only the artwork, as it is usually applied to any size mesh from 10-18. Some designs that are more detailed will only ever be made in higher mesh counts as the detail cannot be reproduced in stitches. Thanks
