It’s the return of the contest

Posted by on Oct 25, 2012 in contests, creativity, design

It’s the return of the Shew Design contest, this one featuring a cavalcade of the best, funniest, strangest Halloween ads we could find. Logos and other identifiers have been removed.

In the spirit of the season, we’ve embraced a wide range of styles and approaches – from the silly to the slightly shocking. Consider yourself duly warned, dear reader!  It’s Halloween for goodness sake!

Your task: take the following categories listed below and match them with the appropriate ad. To be extra tricksy, we’ve made some categories apply to multiple ads, where some categories apply to no ads.

You get 1 point for each product category you can correctly identify; 3 points for each specific product or company you can correctly identify. Send an email with your answers to info@shew-design.com.

There are two winners this time around: the person who gets the most points as described above, and the person who writes the funniest caption to one of the ads below – if they feel so inclined. Both receive a set of Chocolate Necessities chocolate bars and an official Shew Design idea book. Winners will be announced in November.

Have fun!
