Online social network for list lovers the Listbook are launching a new competition that challenges young designers to create a set of badges for their site. Below is a list of ten badge names to choose from and they are asking for up and coming designers to select their favourites and create sets of badges.
The winners of the competition will see their badges become part of the site’s overall design, along with a name and link credit. Not only that, if they really like the final designs, they will commission the winner to work alongside the Listbook team designing badges on an ongoing basis.
Badges on the Listbook will be awarded to users for certain types of participation. For example, writing your first ten Quick Lists will earn you a ‘Quickfire’ badge.
The Brief
- Use the names and descriptions of the 10 badges listed below to create a set of badges for the site that can be awarded to users for completing specific tasks.
- The style and colour of the badges are completely up to you. The site is in beta and the design will change so don’t let the current layout lead you too much.
- Each badge must measure 300 x 300px
