Logo Contest

Hey friends of the story cyberworld. I am so busy it's not even funny, applying for Pharmacy School is such a dog show (that would be funny to illustrate!). I wanted to challenge you all to a contest, a real contest. Let's have your ideas come out and really take root. Design a logo I could put on the top of our blog that would somehow incorporate the idea of the blog; a shoebox full of dreams, pursuing dreams, something with the blog's name, etc. I was going to just do something myself for this one but I changed my mind and decided to open it up to everyone since this is a group project. I just need idea sketches this time...no time to develop it all the way down as I'm going to set the deadline for midnight March 7th. We'll vote on our favorite then work out the details of how to incorporate it. For now, just use your imagination.

Deadline: March 7th.

The Olympics are here!




Kristi Gustafson - My favorite Olympic dream growing up is when my sister and I would setup a 2x4 propped up with bricks at either end and pretend to be gymnastic girls.



Nate Stout - This was just an idea I had about a kid that decides to pursue his dream of long jumping. He decides to do a demonstration at school on the slide while all his classmates watch.

Thank you everyone for your interest in these projects. I had a great point brought up by Scott, that I am labelling these entry opportunities as 'contests'. That would denote that there would be a winner. What does everyone else think about the option of making these "contests" into more of a competition? Leave a comment and let me know. I don't know if there could be a prize more than having the title of having received the first place in an illustration or story competition. Bring it up to me. If you have an idea that you don't want to leave as a comment, send me an email. shoeboxofdreamentries@gmail.com I'm up for a range of different, even creative ideas. Also, how could we get more people involved? Let me know if you have any ideas. I think the more the merrier and the more we can inspire each other.
