new header bar shoutOut on 19/11/10 by DuncanBoxie in wordUp |

WOOOOOOOHOOOOO!!!! Yes indeed Duncan is one happy puppy! Let me tell you it is looking SPECTACULAR!! First off, it is not….I repeat, NOT Flash! YAY :D Also it means that all of you who have had trouble viewing the Flash banner on mobile devices will now be able to scope it out without any issues. One of the groovy additions to the new header bar is a SEARCH function …which I’m sure many of you will be very pleased about. Gone are the days of hunting for a needle in a haystack. It may not sound like a big thing to new designers and members, but let me tell you, this gloriously-honey soaked-sparkly search function is akin to a nuclear submarine getting sonar equipment! I would love to thank the design team and Eran for all their hard work in getting the new header bar up and running and looking so shnazzy . It may confuse you (especially the older members) the first time around, but let me assure you this is a BILLION times better and in the long run makes much more sense! If you are having any problems whatsoever please let me know in the questions section. Some of the images may appear to be a bit weird , but do not worry they will be sorted soon-soon . Enjoy and please give us feedback, it’s the quickest way for us to get the site powered up! Duncs. |

Raizcorp and Springleap Present : I am an Entrepreneur Design competition - WIN US$1250! shoutOut on 7/11/10 by EranEyal in wordUp | on 18/8/11 by DuncanBoxie | 21

What is this thing? This elusive concept : Entrepreneurship? It seems to mean many things to different people… but as a designer : WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO YOU? This is your chance to express that feeling and outlook. Raizcorp is a South African based business startup incubator with an ardent tried and tested commitment to support the growth and development of entrepreneurship Allon Raiz [ founder and CEO of Raizcorp ] recently authored and published an inspirational book for entrepreneurs based on years of working as an entrepreneur and helping them grow into powerful businesses, entitled *Lose the Business Plan” Here’s a cool video from Raizcorp to help inspire you! …and some inspiring words from Allon Raiz when interviewed on ABNdigital Speaking of which - we caught up with Eran Eyal [ cofounder of Springleap.com and evly.com ], who had this to say on entrepreneurship : The delving into the depth of entrepreneurship is not at all unlike that of the artistic creative process. It is difficult to assess success in the trenches, troughs and spikes – it is only the passage of time that allows us to observe the passage in perspective… to see whence the steel of skill and the sea of creative talent meet. As a designer, you are to express your understanding of this phenomenon called entrepreneurship. Some inspiring words there… hmmm… NOW FOR THE EXCITING STUFF!!!
Entrepreneurship is not just about business. It’s about the birthing of an idea, the tension between fear and hope, and the ability to live in the space between what could be and what is. - Allon Raiz As a designer, you are to express your understanding of this phenomenon called entrepreneurship. ——————————————————————————
Raizcorp have put up an **awesome prize of US$1250 [or R10 000] ** for the winner of the *I am an Entrepreneur competition” plus some cool inspirational packs… The winning design will be transformed into a t-shirt and will be sold across the world through Springleap.com’s online store. Pretty awesome, ‘ey? (told ya so!)
1. NO specific theme, only regular guidelines apply! You know the drill NO OBSCENITY, NO HATE SPEECH, ONLY ORIGINAL WORKS …all that jazz. Everyone WINS!!

Submission rules and regulations. shoutOut on 9/11/10 by DuncanBoxie in wordUp | on 18/8/11 by Megs | 2
show |
||||||||||
Hi there everyone. It seems that there are more and more questions coming through from the community, asking us exactly what our rules are, when it comes to ‘where and how’ designs can be used on our website. In the Roll-Over competition Grafismo submitted 2 very awesome designs (Frank Einstein and Abbey Road), however the designs had been used on another website, but their license had not been renewed. We also received a question from Kharmazero, saying that he sold design “prints” of his work on various websites, such as Redbubble, Society6, Mysoti. Well, I spoke to Eran and the rest of the team and we laid out some pretty straight forward rules for this issue. Thanks to the community for their understanding in this area! …………….. SUBMISSION RULES: Springleap reserve the right to any winning designs for all purposes. We are soon going to be launching prints on canvas, posters, mobile phones, laptops etc. The rules for entering the competition: You cannot enter a design that is currently in the running in another competition elsewhere, that has had a print run and been sold or has won another competition. After the winner has been announced at Springleap all the other designs are free for the designer to do with as they wish and Springleap holds no rights to print or sell those designs unless via prior arrangement or stipulation in a specific themed competition eg: if Springleap were to hold a competition for another brand, artist, company and specifically stipulate conditions clearly.

Roll-Over success shoutOut on 28/10/10 by DuncanBoxie in wordUp | on 18/8/11 by Nadean | 5

After much anticipation we have our Roll-Over winner! Huge congratulations go out to the Springleap.com veteran Suburbanhijinx for his powerful Illuminati Propaganda design. We had a mind blowing 81 designs come through and it was clear that the designers were playing for keeps. With such a great prize up for grabs everyone clearly went above and beyond the call of duty. Our regular designers were not to be outdone by the massive wave of new top-notch designers …which is clear in the level of their design. It was great to see the reaction to not only Suburbanhijinx’s amazing winning design, but also to his Sub-Atomic Intergalactic Ranger, which was also very close to taking the win. I have no doubt that our deserving winner has got loads of new fans! Thank you to all those who entered and made the Roll-Over competition such a resounding success, we could not have done it without you. We will have a design interview up really soon and learn more about Suburbanhijinx’s winning Illuminati Propaganda. What else can I say to the community, for their submissions and votes but, THANKS THANKS THANKS!!!!!
