So I am working on entering a goggle competition for a british skier that will be in the olympics. I am looking for some ideas or critiques on my current submission. Any ideas? Feedback/Criticism is highly appreciated.

Here is the design:

Bump. I just need some ideas. I plan on submitting today, so if anyone has any cool patterns or color scheme ideas I would love to hear them.

the colors could be matte, and put more off the brittish flag in the frames

So...you want people to give you creative ideas and designs...which you will then implement...and possibly win this contest....which will undoubtedly award you a prize...that you would most likely not share with the people whose ideas you used?

Good luck

I am not asking for anyone to create my design. When did I say that? I do not discourage anyone from making their own design. In fact, if anyone messages me I will give them the link. If someone is planning on entering the contest, then they won't post here. I give people advice/ideas for designing all the time.

The fact is that taking 1 minute of your time and doing a quick critique of my current design and suggest improvements is not a big deal. If you don't have the time, or don't want to... don't post. I am not making anyone do anything. All the ideas are given voluntary.

You think of contests in the wrong way. You just think that everyone is enemies, but in fact if another member here on ns won, I would be stoked for them, and if I had the chance to help them out... even better. I wouldn't expect any compensation. Designing isn't all about being selfish... and if I did win, and I used an idea from someone here, they might get a little somethin to express my gratification.

Unfortunately I'm not a super creative designer so I'm not sure how to critique, but I think your goggles look pretty sweet. Good luck with the contest! It would be awesome if I was watching the Olympics and I noticed the athletes wearing your design.

Yea, it would. I highly doubt I could win, because it is based on popular vote (then one of the top 10 is picked). But its fun designing the goggles anyways

Wow. I am truly sorry. I completely misunderstood your first post. I thought that was a template of some sort, and you were asking for ideas for a sick design. Again, I apologize.

That's where we come in! Post the link here when it's voting time.
The second is busier but also a lot more Olympics oriented which is probably a good thing. For the their purpose, I think I like them more.

Sooo pissed. I am not positive about this, but it looks like you have to pay to vote for these designs... What kind of contest is that??

Can someone confirm this. I don't know if I see the same thing as you guys do when I log in.

It's all good. It sucks how you have to pay to vote. That means the best designs won't even make it to the top

personally I think it would look better if you put the olympics logo somewhere else rather then the tip of the nose. I think it would look better off to one of the sides.

I agree with above,
The Olympic logo is not meant to be there.
Put it to on of the sides, where it is is too awkward looking and just screams look at me and stands out above everything else. Does it have to have that logo?
the rings would actually look sick designed into it somehow, or if you designed the whole logo into the colorway of the frame it would look sick

Yea, I have seen some designs with the logo positioned somewhere else, and it looks pretty good. Unfortunately the designing stage is over though.

Considering you have to pay to vote, if you do PM me and I will REFUND the cost of voting through paypal. This contest means a lot to me, and I would appreciate it if you helped me out.


Thanks!

The whole point is to get your friends to vote for you. It even says that. If they didn't want it like that, they would have made it open voting. The link is above.

Where could I do that? I also don't think anyone would want to vote for me if they get charged $1. Even if I did refund them

I didn't get too many votes, but I was selected as a finalist for adidas. This means that I will get send a few pairs of goggles to paint my design on and send them back. Then my goggles might be used in the Olympics.

Thanks for the critiques guys

Yea, but Adidas didn't have that option. They just hooked people up with an image to work with. I am not sure how the goggles work, because they actually already chose a winner. But they asked for my address so I think I might just get a free pair (if I am lucky)
