bright as a button, we're talking about
world domination on a pint-sized scale-
BADGES (and no, this has no reference to the furry animals by the name of badgers as such!) We ask you, our budding artist of SUAnime, to create at least 5 designs to go in the draw for great prizes and world domination (maybe)!!
Send your designs with your
[name], [SUAnime Membership number], [title of work] (optional) and [contact number and email] by the due date of
Friday 8th August in either email or printed format to Maho (
asst_art@suanime.org) or Lawrence (
art@suanime.org)
.
Please note the dimensions are for a 35mm badge and therefore require a few rules and conditions, like full colour format in 300dpi resolution.
