Calling all designers.
Art Documentation, the official ARLIS/NA flagship journal, is looking for a new cover design. This will be your chance to come up with a new design and win.
What will the prize be? One year's free membership in ARLIS/NA (or cash equivalent), plus printed design credit.
Who will be eligible? ARLIS/NA members and design students at ARLIS/NA members' institutions.
The deadlines and full Submission Guidelines are listed below, and also posted on the ARLIS/NA website at http://www.arlisna.org/artdoc/cover.html .
ARLIS/NA members will have the opportunity to view the submitted designs and vote on a shortlist, from which the winning design will be selected by the jury. We aim to announce the winner early in the New Year 2010. The new design will have its debut with the Spring 2010 issue of Art Documentation. Please use your networks to pass the word along to colleagues and eligible designers in your institutions.
We look forward to receiving plenty of imaginative and creative designs to match the high standards of what goes inside the covers of Art Documentation!
