Kindle 2 Contest

[click to view - 1 image total]

Engadget.com has a contest where they asked artists to design something that could be engraved on the back of an Amazon Kindle 2. If you win the contest you win the Kindle with the engraved back. The rules stated that it had to be black and white and in an .eps format. Other than that it was wide open.

I thought this looked like a fun contest and decided to try my hand at designing something. I don't get to work in Illustrator as much as I would like and felt this would be a good opportunity to work on my skill set with that software.

When coming up with ideas I settled on a steampunk design. I've always thought it would be a lot of fun to design things with that style and felt this would be a great time to do that. I spent my free time over a couple of days working up what you see in the link above.

I haven't heard back from Engadget about my design or if it's been selected as one of the finalist, but when I do I'll be sure to let you know.

Hope you like it.
