Liliana Torres - Computer - JPG; Liliana found our contest last year after doing a web search. "From my previous entries I want to be able to see my improvements or flaws as a designer," she says. She used Adobe Illustrator to create her winning entry, then saved in one of our target file formats.

Sports
Mirian Torres - Extreme Sport - JPG; Mirian is a sophomore at California State University at Fresno and she feels that participating in the UniKeep contest helps to test what she has learned. "Imagination can go a long way," she says, "and my goal is to improve it through these projects I set for myself."

eNews EXCLUSIVE!
How to design a winning UniKeep cover - part 3

OK, no guarantees that you will win.  But what really tips the scales when our judges have to make a decision?

Will the design work for others?   One of the criteria that is most often overlooked is to make your designs easy to share. File formats that are easy for others to update or personalize will score higher with our judges. 

More is...MORE. Files with higher resolutions or more pixels will generally score higher as long as the file size doesnt exceed the 2MB maximum. More pixels means better print quality.

It IS a binder cover. General designs are great, but if you really want to score, make sure your design works as an effective cover in the UniKeep binder. Sometimes this means distinct panels for front, spine and back. Sometimes this means using ALL the space available and using a standard size sheet. There is no one way to design the layout, but when the judges have to choose, designs that make the best use of the space for the intended purpose will get the award.

Questions? You can always ask. Just email for information.
