Design : Hints and tips
TIP #1: This category is focused on Design – advertising campaigns should be entered in the relevant advertising categories, not in Design.
TIP #2: If you are using JPEGS to present your entry, make sure the work is clearly visible as judges will view this on plasma TV screens. Long paragraphs of text is not advisable. Use the description box on the entry form for additional information regarding the entry.
TIP #3: If possible, it is always better to send the actual sample, e.g. package design, rather than only Jpegs.
TIP #4: If you are sending Physical pieces, you can download package label and entry labels from your Dashboard. Attach an entry label to each physical entry.
TIP #5: All physical entries must be accompanied by an electronic image of that piece.
