as you may have read over at k:designs, i entered a graphic design competition aimed to promote the use of cloth towels over paper towels. i entered two variations of this design, one with a predictable brown and red color palette and this one (below) which makes me much more happy. :-) finalists are announced on March 14th, wish me luck!
The following is the 500 character description of my design....
"This faux bois pattern is a play on trees used to make paper towels. This “tree” gets used repeatedly while paper towels are disposed of with every use. The pattern naturally forms a heart and offers one thoughtful reminder: love your trees. The simplicity of this message is consistent with the clean graphic style of the wood grain, creating a fresh cohesive look. Not weighed down by facts and figures, this towel reminds us that being “green” isn’t complicated, it’s simple, clear and fun."
