Free collar design contest!
13 years ago
Alright folks come here and listen to what we have to say.
Dutch Collar is starting up a design contest for all you over there behind your screens.
The idea is simple: we give you the chance to design your own collar and if you win you get it for free! How about that? Sounding nice?
To apply there are 4 easy steps
First, watch this account ;3
Second, make a journal with a link to this one
Third, make a comment here with the link to your journal and stating you want to enter.
Fourth, when you finished your design, note us with the link to your design. i will link all contest entries on a separate journal so we all see what you have made.
the winner will be announced a few weeks after i closed the contest.
the contest closes 20 august at 00:00 GMT +1.
now before you go ahead i might point you to a few facts that i will account for in your design. a lot is possible but there are limitations as followed;
1, i will look if you have added the collar dimensions (preferably in centimeter or millimeter)
2, i will look if the collar has proper sizing. If it’s too wide that means the leather is not comfortable around the neck. If it’s too thin that means i can't work on the leather with the machines or the leather isn’t strength enough to support itself. min size for single strap is 20 mm and for dual straps 25 mm
3. crazy decorations are alright, but if you use something you have not seen before on dutchcollar please link the webshop where you found them. also keep in mind the amount of decorations you use and the type. some decorations like the steampunk onces come with a screw. this means i need 5 mm working space to the side else i can't stitch the collar and the lining together.
4. type of leather is important. fancy colours you like might not be available or the leather type is not suited for collar makeing.
5. stitching, i can only order stitching in some colours, just like the leather. this is because i use high grade stitching, which is not available in every colour. (i use pure nylon stitching, while normal shops use nylon-cotton)
this is all folks! i hope you have inspirations and i wish you luck with designing
