Default $ Simply Inspired Contest - Deadline 5/4/09
Simply Inspired Contest No. 7
Inspiration : Website
Deadline : May 4, 2009

The new Simply Inspired Contest starts now! Every two weeks we'll be delving into the world of creative design inspiration! Advertisements, web design, fashion, movie posters, product packaging, home decor, book covers, billboards... they all contain a well-spring of design inspiration! Our goal is to capture that professional creativity and use it to spark our scrapbook layouts.

Every two weeks, I will post a random inspiration piece and challenge you to create a layout or project based on the selection. Feel free to pull inspiration from the design structure, a single element, a type treatment or even just the color combination. Once you complete your layout, upload it to the Simply Inspired Challenge gallery on or before May 4, 2009. Fun enough in itself, right? But there's more! We'll be selecting one lucky winner to receive a $10 gift certificate to the Designer Digitals store!!! Yay! So be sure to come play along for your chance to win! Here we go...

This week we're pulling inspiration from a cool website I stumbled upon. I instantly recognized the similarities between the design and several popular trends in digital scrapbooking.

Chris-Benz.com



Hope this piece helps encourage your next layout! I can't wait to see how you're simply inspired!
