Deadline Countdown: Student Design Competition Entries due Next Monday!

Our Student Design Competition deadline is almost here ... your entries need to be in our office by 5pm next Monday! So for those of you outside the NYC area, that means you pretty much have till Saturday morning at the latest to finish and get your entry in the mail if you're willing to pay for overnight shipping. For those of you in or around New York City, you're welcome to hand deliver your entry directly to our office (we're located at 27 Union Square West in Suite 207).

But you've already sent in your entries, right??? Well, for those of you procrastinators, be sure you check out our awesome series of Competition Tips...

Tip #1: Your entry's 2 spreads should not both be "opening" spreads.

Tip #2: Your "story" doesn't have to end on the second spread.

Tip #3: Mind the gutter.

Tip #4: Think about the magazine this story would appear in if it existed.

Tip #5: White space is good.

Tip #6: Use drop caps, subheads, pull quotes and sidebars to liven up your page.

Tip #7: Captions, credits and folios should be treated as design elements, just like everything else on the page.

And don't forget to check out the Competition main page for FAQs and more details, and to download the entry form.
