Od_graphic_top1perc_792x612

GOOD and Occupy Design invite you to create a design, icon, or infographic that shares the unifying spirit of the Occupy movement. Submit designs here for a chance to have your design printed and promoted by Occupy Design.

The Specifics

Occupy Design is a grassroots project which creates open-source visual tools around a common graphic language to unite the 99%. We’re calling all techies, artists and designers to volunteer their talents by submitting an image that bolsters this objective through creative data visualization.

All submitted designs will be voted on by the community. We’ll use $750 from the GOOD Fund in order to bring the winning design to life: Occupy Design will print and distribute the winning design, AND we’ll send the winner their design printed on a vinyl weatherproof sign and several 11×17 prints as well as an Occupy Design t-shirt.

Submissions should include the image of the design and a brief written description. You do not need to include a project plan or description of how the image should be used.

Individuals and organizations can participate. Once projects are submitted, rally your friends, family and colleagues to get behind your effort and join the GOOD community in voting for the best design.
