Left, right, left, right, left, right, left…HALTATTENTION!!!

Hi there troops, good news from the front-lines: We have just announced our October 2 Open Theme WINNER!

We send our latest winner, Kookylove, a massive round of applause for a job well done!
Congratulations. Your Rise of the music design is absolutely rocking!

The concept of this image is adapted from a very famous historical photograph called Raising the flag on Iwo Jima. The photo shows United States Marines and a U.S. Navy corpsman raising the American flag on Mount Suribachi in Japan during the Battle of Iwo Jima.

This fresh take on this well-known known image is infused with musical awesomeness! It removes the negative military vibe and replaces it with an uplifting music theme.
We have seen a few designs come through in the past of soldiers wielding guitars instead of guns, but they pale in comparison to this well executed design.

When I say this is going to sell like ‘hot cakes’ that is an understatement of battleship sized proportions!

The colour of this design is very well balanced. The almost gradient effect of the greens and yellows looks absolutely breathtaking together. Very impressed how it looks on screen, which means it’s going to blow our minds when it gets printed on our super-duper t-shirts.
Really, I can’t wait for this one.

This is already Kookylove’s second win here on Springleap.com!
You will probably remember his cult classic Running with Scissorhands design which won our February 1 Open Theme this year. It seems that Kookylove has a great knack for taking well known iconic material and reinventing it in clever and unique ways.

Check out all of his amazing work on his Springleap profile page.

Well done sir, Rise of the music is set to become a Springleap classic!

Talk about a power slide to victory.
