The 2D or Not 2D webpage is now up on Threadies!!!

Created by Mo$$, administered by Staffell, Bramish and Threadies.

Theme:
2 dimensional or "flat" designs (see examples below).

What is 2D?:
Designs must not have any perspective, shadowing or Z coordinate. Basically, no design elements can look closer or further back from one another. I've included some examples below, and if you have any questions about what's 2D and what's 3D please ask them here.

That said - this contest, though designed to challenge us, is also meant to be fun. Use this contest as an opportunity to try new things and design something different.

Other Rules:
Any 'questionable' submissions (ones that may not be entirely 2D) will be reviewed by Staffell, Bramish and Threadies and may be declined. An email will be sent explaining why it was declined and you are free to resubmit.

Only one submission allowed per person.

Dates:
The contest will officially launch June 1st, when we'll release a Threadies page with all the rules, prizes, contestants , etc. That is also when we will start accepting submissions.

The submission deadline of July 1st, so it's best to start on your designs now. Designs MUST be submitted to Threadless and emailed to submissions@threadies.org.

You can submit your design to Threadies at any time but wait until the last week of June to submit your design to Threadless, and no later than July1st. Voting will start July 2nd and will last for 2 weeks.

Sign up to enter the contest HERE.


Examples

Verdana on May 19 '06 at 2:14pm
Yeah, I do. Why?
RyanSargent
RyanSargent on May 19 '06 at 2:16pm
YES, YES YES YES YES YES

that completely shuts down that stupid ass mac ad where the guy can talk japanese with the "camera" girl

it trashes on PC for not being able to communicate with devices, which is hugly false. all my shit is plug and play.

sorry, personaly victory, those ads piss me off.

Verdana
Verdana on May 19 '06 at 2:19pm
Ha ha. Okay. =]

Yeah, I'm on my family computer right now, and it claims that my camera has nothing on it, which is untrue. I don't really know what's up, but hopefully it'll work fine as usual on the laptop.

thelovefanclub, the top green one doesn't have any shadowing that gives the impression of depth. They are 2D shapes sitting on top of 2D shapes.

Let's try not to get too picky here, people, We should try to have fun with this contest rather than wasting our time picking apart the rules. This line of thinking will only lead to squabbles once the submissions start coming in.

2D or Not 2D logo is up!!!

The concept of the logo is - the breaking down of the 3D box into 2D shapes. I really like it. Great job Mo$$!

Threadies, I have a question. Would it be possible to reverse the order of the contests in your Community contests and theme gallery at threadies.org, with the most recent, being first? So it's the first contest we see without having to scroll down?

If I'm alone in this, I'll just be quiet. :)

threadies on Jun 01 '06 at 3:50pm
that's a capital idea, I will impliment that today. Thanks!
