NZ artist wins international design contest, raising funds for Christchurch
David Creighton-Pester, Hamilton based graphic designer and illustrator, has been announced as the winner of an international t-shirt design competition which will see funds raised in support for Christchurch, after last month’s devastating earthquake.
The competition was held by Chicago-based company, Threadless (www.threadless.com), a community-centred online apparel store, which boasts 1.5 million community members worldwide.
Through its sub-site, Threadless Causes (www.causes.threadless.com), international artists were asked to submit inspirational designs under the theme “Rebuild”, with the focus being the city of Christchurch.
Community members voted on the submissions and David’s winning design went on sale on www.threadless.com on Friday, 25 March for US $20. 25% of net proceeds from sales will go to support the Christchurch rebuilding process.
