5 sizes, 5 colours – outwit, outsmart, outplay

Posted on 29. Aug, 2007 by Jonathan Cherry in Advertising

Cape Town’s uber-niche book emporium, Biblioteq, is currently running a nice user-generated, creative pixel design competition.

The idea is that you head over to the shop in Kloof Street and pick up one of these Dotmatic 5 kits.

The kit contains a whole collection of sticker dots which come in 5 sizes….5 colours.
The challenge is for users to design and create a half usable image out of the dots, which can then [if it's good enough big boy] be used in a nationwide traveling show.
The kit costs R 30 and includes sheets of stickers in various shapes and colours, as well as a board onto which the design can be applied.

If your attempt cracks the nod to be used…you’ll be famous and weighed down by loads of prizes [the
finalists will be exhibited at Biblioteq in October, followed by a traveling
exhibition at Vida stores nationwide. The winner will receive one year’s
subscription to VISI, a book voucher from Biblioteq and free coffee
from Vida].

The inspirational window display created entirely with dots [seen here] to promo the creativity competition was done by local illustration studio am i collective.

We’re just glad that they didn’t choose Post-it notes as their medium of choice.
