Re-covered Competition
Posted on March 18th, 2013
If anyone has extra time and wants a challenge, this design blog is hosting one of their “Re-Covered” competitions. This one is a challenge to redesign the poster for the film, Battle Royale. You don’t really have to know too much to participate, though I think it’s pretty great and worth watching if you like this sort of movie.
Here’s a link to the actual competition prompt (with guidelines and rules): BATTLE ROYALE RE-COVER COMPETITION.
And to look at their previous design challenges, click here.
It sounds like a cool extra project to work on, so I wanted to throw it out for anyone who might be interested!
