Winners Katie Wilis and Isaiah Tanenbaum Take Home Special Discounts
4over4.com held a contest for its Facebook Community, asking fans create a poster and share how they “Leave a Print on the World”. The first place winner Pepe Alvarado was awarded with the top spot and an iPad, while Katie Willis, second place, and Isaiah Tanenbaum, third place, respectively won 40% and 30% discounts on all prints. All poster entries were beautiful, captivating, messages of love and green activism that proved just how much a single action makes a difference. One of our favorite entries was a poster designed by a dedicated fan Katie Willis who likes to compost food scraps. Her choice of earthy colors, the simplicity of the layout and her thoughtful input make this a winning design: it highlights the motivators to start composting, or doing anything green and planet-loving really, to -Win Points With Your Buddies, Your Wallet, Your Planet, Your Soul.
Now if those are not reasons enough to start composting, we don’t know what could be! The artist behind this outstanding poster is an associated designer at www.ArtistUpgrade.com, a NYC based design studio focused on highly customized professional websites and print materials for creative dudes and dudettes, entrepreneurs and other small businesses who like to showcase exactly who they are (and make a business out of it). Their unique style is mixture of fun and serious, diverse and straight-forward; juts like dear old Katie! This lady has been fire-staring projects in the drama and design departments for a long time and she actually started her successful design career with a poster.
