Time Travel
Submitted by Tracy Earl
Time is an illusion in reality. You are invited to experiment, create a new existence, re-live an old one, or embrace a timeless freedom… the possibilities are endless; is the future as bright? Or is the past what you’re blasting? Whichever direction you choose; via wormhole, black hole or time machine – take a journey to a place that brings a smile to your face.
Now we need a poster design to showcase the theme!
Untold glory and accolades will be awarded to the artist who can best capture the essence of Kiwiburn’s 2022 theme in a poster format. You will see it everywhere, as the winning design will be adapted for stickers, wristbands and volunteer patches too. The competition is open to all graphic artists, and those who have a fabulous idea (and a designer friend who can turn your idea into usable artwork).
You have until 30 June to submit your ideas, so get going and give those creative juices free rein.
