10year Design Bash released!

To celebrate 10 years publishing online we wanted a party. A BIG WEB party!!! Since we couldn’t pack a worlwide audience in one place, we decided to do an online bash and invited designers, artists and illustrators to submit 1? button (badge) and 4×6 postcards to be part of an upcoming Feed your Eyes vintage collection.

384 entries were received from all corners of the world and they make quite a statement on the diversity and the unique creativity of all who participated.

After much deliberations, the 10year Design Bash selections are ready for viewing.
