I love challenges, and when someone invites me into their contest, I often don’t hesitate to offer at least one proposal. This one was weird since I don’t consume neither American Football or the “ugly sweater” trend, and it came from Germany (instead of USA) so I’m uploading this as an example to show how can I adapt into a completely different world by reading well into the brief and the few examples the client gave us as reference. For the contests uploaded here, I usually compete with more than 20 to over a 100 designers so it gets more and more challenging. But then, there are other contests, like this one, where if you instantly get what the client is looking for with your initial proposal, you can autopilot to win 🙂
