3rd place: " Day of the Dead "
Submitted by: Artem Ionitsa
Logo Unltd.
Woodenville, Washington
This featured design is as haunting as its
namesake. With an almost life-like pulse,
" Day of the Dead " is an attention-grabbing
piece by Logo Unltd. The artwork was created in-house to be used as a custom order
for an upcoming retail brand.
The company's design team used Wilflex
inks, including a white base, multiple Pantone colors and a glow-in-the-dark finish.
" There were no major challenges, as we have
total creative freedom, " says Ionitsa, owner,
Logo Unltd. " Our goal was to add as many
unique elements as possible. We ended up
adding the puff effect on the flowers and
mouth to get texture and a 3-D effect, as
well as the glow-in-the-dark [and] UV inks
around the eyes and chin for those that want
to attend the occasional rave. "
To achieve the multicolored layers within
the flowers, Ionitsa says multiple rotations
were used, with some involving wet-on-wet
printing and others incorporating flashing.
The design's overall appeal is evident as the
various focal points seem to blend. The use
of four rotations culminates in a result that
is soft to the touch, yet rapt with dimension
and texture.
The team's favorite part of the design is the
addition of puff to the flowers to emphasize
detail and provide a " wow " factor.
" We took something that may have been
seen in different forms before to the next
level by creating a piece that not only is visually striking, but immediately makes an
individual want to run the hand across the
design just to satisfy the haptic craving we
created intentionally through the puff addition, " Ionitsa says. " We also kept in mind
that we want this design to be worn not only
by a single group of people, but rather a variety of people. "
