I suggested the use of dA design contests to have artists create designs for any kind of thing you can come up with. I explained the benefits like this:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>You engage people, inspire creativity and get authentic designs, which are honest and pure. It could be a web 2.0 style advertising campaign, very viral (speaking of buzz marketing).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/news.deviantart.com\/article\/28901\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.roysac.com\/blogimages\/rn-skin-a-scion-contest-da.png\" border=\"0\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.revenews.com\/carstencumbrowski\/2007\/06\/user_generated_advertising_web.html\">It&#8217;s a pretty long post<\/a>, but I recommend to read it, if you are interested in this sort of things.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.roysac.com\/images\/galleries\/IMAGES_GIF\/ROY-DA.ANS.GIF\" border=\"0\" width=\"700\"\/><\/p>\n<p>I did a contest at deviantART myself last year. It was not a design contest, but it was a contest to promote <a href=\"http:\/\/www.roysac.com\/\">my Text art site RoySAC.com<\/a> a little bit. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.roysac.com\/blog\/2006\/09\/ad-hunt-contest-winner-announced-at-da\/\">I blogged about it too<\/a>. I hope this provides some inspiration. Just think outside the box from time to time and try out new things. This is true no matter what you are doing.<\/p>\n<p>Cheers!<\/p>\n<p>Carsten aka Roy\/SAC<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It was a post that was several months in the making.
