Searching for a little solitude? Here is my submission for Good magazine's searching for solitude in the city doodle competition, hope to see everyone's submissions on the website!
Forget texts and twitters, lets talk through doodles, spearheading this idea is GOOD magazine, each month they will be throwing out topics to doodle about sharing with everyone the goodness and chances to win some swag!!! the OBJECTIVE
Create a DOODLE that tells your story of finding solitude in the city.
the ASSIGNMENT
The DOODLE can be as broad or as specific as you wish. Especially with it being summer, cities are now flooded with crowds of both locals and tourists. Think about your personal getaways in the city. How does it change your mood? Why do you feel the need to find your secret destination? What do you do when you're there? We want a small glimpse into your private hideaway within a metropolis. Perhaps you may even work on this project while you're there.
the REQUIREMENTS
Send us an e-mail at projects[at]goodinc[dot]com with your doodle, or post it to GOOD's Community Board with the tag "June 2010 DOODLE." It can be in any image format, but it should be high enough resolution that it can be printed at 300 dpi. We prefer images that are taller versus wider (the above was a 6:8 ratio). There are numerous methods for creating visual notes whether through digital means (tablets, digital sketchpads, etc) or tangible methods such as using a Moleskine. Regardless of your choice, please ensure the images are as clean as possible. Feel free to include a brief summary to your illustration.
We’ll take submissions now through July 2.
We'll be awarding the best overall doodle with a GOOD T-shirt and free subscription (or gift subscription) based on votes from "the crowd." We ask you to take into account factors like: overall quality of illustration, relevance to the topic, and clarity and flow.
In the meantime, we do plan on sharing some of your great submissions with upcoming update posts.
