Many years ago a great friend, a “starving” art student at the Columbus School of Art, entered
a contest promoted to him by one of his professors. The result of that challenge was that Dennis
designed what was to become the reverse side of the bicentennial silver dollar.
That was then, when ideas were cast in wax and metal. Now, in the days of computer generation and
interactive artwork we see new opportunities for new artists.
As a fiber artist that always seemed to work “outside the box” I am happy to see this opened up so that
a new generation of artists can make their break, reputation, fame and name. Because its not always
about the paycheck… go ahead ask my how I know that and I will show you five runway art to wear garments
that traveled the world under my label… and I never took a cent for their creation… the creating was what it
was all about, and the payoff came in intangibles.
Good luck to all you designers out there!

Designers: Here’s the Brief for Project Magazine’s iPad Cover Contest
As part of its launch on Tuesday, Virgin’s first iPad-only magazine, Project, announced a contest to redesign the magazine’s animated cover.
In order to get ahold of the brief and assets for the contest, however, designers (or their unemployed friends) had to locate one of four paper mannequins (with Sir Richard Branson, pictured above) touring New York and San Francisco, each of which held the coordinates of USB sticks containing the brief, earlier this week.
