To enter a few design competitions throughout the year that are relevant to my design practice.
In particular, D&AD and YCN awards.
This would obviously be a competition brief and the content may cover any of these areas:
- Publishing and editorial
- Information and wayfinding
- Branding and identity
- Product and packaging
- Retail and promotion
Background / Considerations
/ How can this be fitted around my other briefs so that I can produce an outcome I am happy with and not miss the submission deadlines?
/ How many competition briefs should I enter to be able to still produce a quality outcome?
/ How are the chosen briefs relevant to my progression as a graphic designer?
Mandatory Requirements
These will be included on the briefs.
Deliverables
To Submit:
Products relating to the briefs requirements
Design Presentation boards with photographs of products
Deadlines
Most of the competitions I want to enter will open in October
The final entries will be required Spring 2013

In this case, the rationale and concept statement will be decided on when I have the exact competition brief I want to enter.
