A new call by Mostrami and Mostramed, another time we invite young designers and illustratorsour partner this time, it's a Sicilian brand, Sicooli
What is the goal? We have to realize a new design that explains and describes all the values of one of the most important historical areas of Palermo that is very well known for its typical market: Ballarò!
In this post we try to synthesize story, folklore, scents, and vibes of the historic markets in Palermo and of Ballarò more specifically! All the elements that it brings can liven up your creativity.
The objective of this call is properly to interpret the world of Ballarò in a new visual representation, its story, and its future, along with the multiculturalism, the energy, and the authenticity of the market that will be the highlight.
THE TARGETS
All young creatives under 40 residing in Italy who practice one of the following art forms: graphic design or illustration are eligible to apply.
THE THEME
This call in collaboration with Mostrami invites the your artists and illustrators ad analizzare e comprendere a fondo i valori e il mondo del mercato di Ballarò e di declinarli artisticamente in una grafica o illustrazione in una nuova grafica che anzitutto sarà stampata su una tshirt della collezione “Tisciart” così come in altri elementi del catalogo di Sicooli e che verrà utilizzata in tutta la comunicazione digitale e off line.
Some technical reference: remember that first of all it is screen printing on fabric so no shading, possibly single color but at most 5 colors, look at the link below, the most used backgrounds are white, black and blue and certainly you can work with contrasting; you can certainly use other colors and gradients but we recommend you not to overdo it. ?
