While shuffling some papers on my desk, I discovered a sample for a clear roll label product. Coincidentally, I had just finished perusing some artwork by the famous Stencil Graffiti Artist Banksy. The two ideas came together to create awesomeness I don’t usually experience so early in the day! Stencil graffiti designs being put on clear stickers. Brilliant!

We’re excited to see the sticker designs that our readers submit and to sweeten the deal we will be giving the winner $100 and 250 stickers of their design. Please submit your entries before November 16, 2009.

For creative professionals, a business card is more than a piece of paper with your contact information. It  actually serves as an example of your work for prospective clients. A poorly designed business card is going to make it hard for you to convince clients that you are the right person for their project. Thankfully, you can score 2000 stylish die-cut business cards from UPrinting.com by entering our business card design competition.

CONTEST PRIZES
