Posted by elearningtyro in : Announcements, Graphic Design , add a commentHello all,
As you are aware, the contest for graphic designers ended on January 31, 2011. Despite several viral marketing strategies and our personal invitation to over hundereds of graphic designers, this contest received entries from just TWO contestants! Its our pleasure to thank Mr. Mayukh Das and Ms. Shivi Kapil for their interest to participate in this contest.
Mayukh's Entry
Shivi's Entry
Its time for announcing the results! Entries from both contestants were unique and awesome in many ways. Mr. Mayukh’s entry conveyed the meaning of e-learning in a traditional way of representation using appealing color schemes and graphic objects. On the other hand, Ms. Shivi’s entry was simple yet innovative in conveying the meaning of e-learning. Considering various parameters such as design style, use of color schemes, and clarity in conveying the meaning of the contest theme, we chose both Mr. Mayukh Das and Ms. Shivi Kapil as the winners of this graphic design contest. We will share the total prize amount of $20 between them.
Congratulations winners. You will shortly be receiving your prize amount :)
Note: If the contestants agree, we will also share their contact details with you. Watch out our blog section frequently for updates in this regard.
