- A generic sub-group of design (such as fashion, graphic, typography, industrial, performing arts etc.)
The
IMAGERY may include:
Emphasis on the style of a particular designer or group of designers.
A portrait of the designer – but this is NOT mandatory.

It is important that all of the graphics are the entrant’s own work. Images may be sourced from third parties
but they must not be used “as found”. Entrants should use photo-imaging techniques to create unique cover images.
