First, a HUGE thanks goes out to all of the designers that participated in the (Still) Penn State Proud T-shirt Design contest at MycroBurst!

This contest was held to help ProudToBeAPennStater.com raise money for RAINN.org, the largest anti-sexual violence campaign in the US.  They have pledged to raise $500,000 to donate and this contest was started to help raise their donation!

The contest received over 230 design concepts!  After seeing how tough it was to choose just one design, the project holder decided that we should let the public decide.  And that we did!

After 3 days of voting and 635 votes design #208, by kmello1027, was chosen as your favorite with 36% of all of the votes!  A close runner up was #144, designed by kmc5250, with 31% of the votes.  The designs will be given to RAINN.org and they will chose which to sell on their website!

A huge congrats also goes out to design #4. This design was chosen by RAINN.org and is currently for sale.

All designs are shown below.

We’ll let you know when you can buy the other shirts, thanks again for all of the participation with this contest!  We hope to help raise money and awareness for this amazing organization!  #ProudPSUforRAINN

At MycroBurst we see all kinds of contests on our website — and it’s exciting for us! As the seasons change, so do design contests; the most recent wave includes political campaign design. A recent, finished contest was just that.

This two- part contest, entitled Rupert for Governor, was looking for logo and stationery design. To fans of reality television, Rupert may look (and sound) familiar to you … he’s none other than Rupert Boneham from Survivor! Clad in his usual tie-dye, Rupert was a favorite among fans. Aside from Survivor, Rupert is helping to make a huge difference in the lives of troubled youth through his own charity, Rupert’s Kids.

The next challenge Mr. Rupert Boneham is taking on, as he announced this past Saturday, is ...  Governor of Indiana. That’s right, he is considering running for Governor!

To be sure that he has an eye-catching design for his campaign, Rupert’s campaign turned to MycroBurst to establish the perfect campaign design.  The winning logo for Rupert’s campaign has been chosen and here it is!

You can see the stationery winner here as well.

Aside from Rupert’s design contests, political design projects are heating up all over MycroBurst.com!

Political t-shirts are a huge hit within political design. As of Friday, we have 5 new political t-shirt contests! These new projects are Republican and pro-candidate  – but, if you are looking to design for the another political party don’t fret – those are coming soon!

The time of year can have an affect on what types of design contests MycroBurst project holders are starting.  This time of year is no different. Currently, the United State’s political front is heating up and so are campaign design projects!  And with MycroBurst at your side, your design choices are virtually limitless.

Political campaigns rely on a number of graphic design outlets to promote their candidates.  There are posters, flyers, buttons, car wraps – basically everything and anything!  One of the most popular promotion items are campaign t-shirts.

T-shirts are a way to make politics fun and interesting, no matter what your opinions are!

One of our project holders has already jumped into the search for amazing political design.  They have started a captivating t-shirt project for none other than President Barack Obama.  This particular project holder was even thoughtful enough to begin two contests – one for each viewpoint!

Interested in taking a look?  If you would like to see or submit your designs to the t-shirt project for Obama supporters, you can see that here.  Do you oppose Obama?  Take a glance at that project here.

MycroBurst supports our clients’ varieties of ideas, opinions and views.  We are excited to see all of the new contests!  Enjoy submitting designs and watching similar contests get started.

We’re making another upgrade to MycroBurst.com!  Thanks to your feedback, we were able to make this upgrade option possible!

MycroBurst will now offer that project holders can host Veiled Projects!

What is the Veiled Project upgrade?

This upgrade allows designs submitted to a project to be unseen to most people.  While designers will be able to see the designs they upload but no other designer’s designs will be visible to them.

Only the project holder can see all designs submitted to their project.  Anyone else who views a Veiled Project will not be able to see submitted designs.

Why go Veiled?

Upgrading to host a Veiled Project holds several benefits for the project holder!  When designs are hidden from other designers you are assured that each design that is submitted is original.  This also prevents duplicated entries.

Promoting creativity from designers will ensure your designs will truly be one-of-a-kind.  It also encourages a fair and high quality competition.  With a Veiled Project there will be no copying of designs between designers.

Here’s what a Veiled Project looks like from a project holder’s perspective:

Here’s what the same project will look like from the perspective of a designer that has submitted two designs to the Veiled Project:

All designers will still be able to see general comments you leave for them at the bottom of the project.  It is crucial to keep continued conversation so designers know that they are reaching your ultimate design goal.

This is what a Veiled Project’s general comment section will look like:

Veiled Projects are also a benefit for designers!

As a designer, you may be concerned that your designs could be copied or recreated throughout a contest.  Submitting drafts to a Veiled Project assures that there will be no copies of custom designs.

Submitting to a Veiled Project guarantees a fair competition and provides designers with an outlet to be fully creative throughout the entire length of the project.

How do you upgrade?

It’s easy!  To add the Veiled Project upgrade, you must have started a design project at MycroBurst.

You then Log-In and head to the “My Projects” section.  You will see your live projects listed here.

Next to the project name, you will click “Upgrade” and select the “Veiled Project” option.

Once you click “Proceed” at the bottom of the screen, you’ll pay for the upgrade and your project will be seen as a Veiled Project!

As you can see, upgrading to a Veiled Project will enable your designs to be as creative as possible.  Questions?  Feel free to contact us! Email – phone

Thanks to all of our users for feedback and suggestions.  You are helping MycroBurst to maintain successful and to continually evolve.
