EXPLOSIVE NEWS: BIZ BANG HAS BEEN EXTENDED!

That's right folks - you now have until September 30th to submit your explosive designs!

Bizcommunity - it’s the ever-expanding hub that provides daily marketing and media news to a community of millions across Africa. It’s the business-to-business site of choice, and pretty much the place to go for all things related to advertising, marketing, media, retail and related sectors. Who are they? They’re the mighty, mighty BizCommunity, and you have a shot at helping them celebrate eleven years of awesome with your best t-shirt design!

In August this year, BizCommunity celebrate their 11^th birthday. Since its inception in 2001, Bizcommunity has expanded from a single marketing and media portal with a South Africa focus to a total of 35 industry-specific portals, each with various categories of defined interest. In line with this, the winning t-shirt design needs to illustrate and celebrate the explosive growth of one of the most diverse, creative and dynamic online communities in Africa.

 

THE BRIEF:

You can interpret the theme of growth/expansion/explosion of BizCommunity in any illustration style of your choice, and designs may be on black, red, white or grey background.

Your design should ideally be in one of the following:

a) one colour

b) a combination of the Bizcommunity.com corporate colours (red, grey, black and white)

c) spot metallics

 

DO’s & DON’TS:

- Designs submitted must feature the Bizcommunity.com 9-dot logo [supplied] in some form.

- The font is the Serpentine family (but your design need not be limited to this font.)

Whatever your design, just remember – BizCommunity are looking for a design that visually portrays the explosive growth of the creative, dynamic and entrepreneurial nature of Bizcommunity’s online communities in Africa over the last 11 years!
