The challenge was

Create a design inspired by one of The Onion’s headlines.

Have you heard the latest breaking news? “Zombie Nutritionist Recommends ‘All-Brain Diet!’” “Area Grandmother Comes Forward As 'Banksy.’” And in sports, “'04-'05 NHL Lockout Enters Ninth Year.”

Since 1988, The Onion has made it their mission to be the first to break compelling news stories. Their high-quality headlines give readers deep, meaningful insight into the state of our world.

Few can match the cutthroatness of The Onion reporters, who have a penchant for squeezing sources for insider information no one else can get. No matter how chaotic the newsroom gets, this publication can always be trusted to deliver up-to-date news about what the area man is up to these days. For their cutting edge work, they’ve won many prestigious awards you’ve probably never heard of.

And now’s your chance to win a major award in the form of cash and other swag by designing a t-shirt inspired by any headline on theonion.com. Your design can be word-free, as long as it’s an interpretation of any one of The Onion's headlines - EVER. Be sure to mention which headline inspired you in the “about your design” section of your submission.
