The only way to relate to you this amazing design contest we’re having is to turn the mic to a handful (of very many) outstanding artists within the contest. There is so much more said by others I will have to compile it all at a later point. Hope you enjoy and I encourage you to join in and explore further.
as I designed this concept, I had my father in mind. How could I express this huge, complex notion to him in a clear and simple way–and a way that didn’t rely too heavily upon the inherent meanings and connotations of language?
I haven’t shown this to him yet, but I think he’ll grasp it fairly quickly. After all, he’s a conceptualist himself, too.
So, this one is for my dad as much as anything. Thanks, Baba.
Hope you enjoy.
Cheers,
Leah

This contest is one of the best examples of drawing out the creative juices in all of us. I am truly amazed to see what’s going on in my fellow designers heads… I am left speachless. Awsome work folks!
And Stormjem, in contest thread as well.

I would like to say THANKS! to you for holding this contest. I have enjoyed the challenge of my mind and my creativity immensely. I commend you on finding a different approach that has pushed people to really think and to achieve more from themselves. We have all discovered new things (about the topic and ourselves) in needing to learn about conceptualism as part of the creative process. Its been a great opportunity to create from ‘philosophy’ rather then what is logical. I often feel creativity (and ideas) is sourced from outside (be it the spirit or universal consciousness), energy flowing into the mind and heart to inspire what becomes the creation. Once inspired it usually needs to be converted and simplified to what is practical which is a growing experience in itself. Your competition however has given that us more. Given us reason to think and to reach. I can not thank you enough for this experience. It has been a real joy and given me an enthusiasm for my art I had forgotten about.
Thanks!

I’d take a sitepoint contest over hiring a big firm any day. I’ve done several myseld in the $200 range and have been happy with the results.
For $2500 you have every designer in town coming out of the woodwork…
