Lilla Rogers Global Talent Search

Megan K. Ball July 24, 2013

There's an exciting competition going on hosted by the brilliant woman who created the Make Art That Sells e-course, Lilla Rogers! It's a world-wide talent search comprised of three rounds of creative assignments, professional judging, a public vote, and a final interview with Lilla herself to determine the winner.

The lucky duck who wins the whole thing gets a FREAKIN' AMAZING prize package: two years of representation from the Lilla Rogers Studio along with a stellar list of licensing gigs already lined up! To say winning would be a dream come true would be an understatement!

The first assignment in the competition was a creative brief for the company, Paperchase. We were to design a journal cover inspired by playground equipment. It could be any subject matter, any layout, and any medium as long as there was reference to a playground and contained the word "Journal". 

I came up with two different designs. 

My first design was inspired by the feeling you got as a child as you went higher and higher on the swings. You felt like you could almost touch the clouds you were going so high. I wanted it to be narrative, sort of like a page from a children's book, and to contain a little girl with a giant smile on her face, head tossed back, eyes closed, filled with joy.

My second design was inspired by two things- kaleidoscopes and sherbet ice cream. I liked the idea of creating a design that, from far away, looked like an abstract pattern filled with reflections and symmetry, but when you look closely you find that it's all little icons of playground equipment and elements. The colors were inspired by sherbet. Pinks, purples, and oranges!

In the end, I decided to go with the one that I felt was most different and original-- the kaleidoscope design. I felt like it was a creative take on the assignment and that the mirror image-style design would look cool on a shelf or when browsing online.

Now, we wait to see who the lucky 50 are who move on to the next round! Wish me luck!!

Listening to the Happier with Gretchen Rubin podcast this morning and she mentioned adding a touch of whimsy to your life. One suggestion was to add whimsy to the office breakroom to get people to wash their own dishes and I couldn't help but think that our Do The Damn Dishes print would be PERFECT for this scenario! Some say passive-aggressive, but I prefer "whimsical" πŸ˜‰#happierpodcast @gretchenrubin @lizcraft

First craft show in nearly two years (whaaat!?) was a lot of fun! Thanks to everyone who came out! 😊😊
Okay, y'all! We're making our ONLY in-person show appearance this weekend at the Milford High School Craft Show! All prints will be over 50% off at the show only! Also, a "bargain bin" of cards for only a buck a piece! Come stock up!!
A little note: Working with a new printer means working on their schedule. Unfortunately this means sometimes there are stricter deadlines than we'd like. That being said, if you're interested in any of our newest Etsy products including kids shirts, onesies, or mugs, you have to get your orders in by Thursday 11/30 to guarantee delivery before Christmas. Thanks for your understanding! ❀️ (greeting cards and prints can still be shipped until a future deadline is announcedπŸ‘πŸΌ)
