Build My Timbuk2 Bag

Team Skribit gave me a Timbuk2 Bag In A Box gift card for the work I have been doing with them.  And what I am going to do with it is build my own bag.  I have selected the medium laptop messenger as my bag of choice.  Now I need to design it. 

Issue is I am not much of a designer.  I can provide design direction.  I can even tweak design.  But I am not much good at design itself.  So I am going to have a little contest and have you design my bag for me.  Winner gets the choice of a $20 iTunes or Amazon gift certificate. Spend 15 minutes.  About $80 an hour.  Seems fair.

Here are the rules.

  1. Go to the Build Your Own Bag page.
  2. Select Laptop Messenger.
  3. Choose Medium size.
  4. Design the outside of the bag.
  5. Go to the next step and select the color of the logo.
  6. Make a comment on this post indicating your design by midnight on Sunday March 8.
  7. Use the following form in your comment: left panel color/center panel color/right panel color/logo color.  For example Navy/Rocky Road/Army/Olive. (Timbuk2 really needs a save/share function).
  8. Winning bag design will be selected and announced on FoG by midnight on March 11.
  9. The winner of the contest will be decided by Erika Brookes who has been described as an expert on being both technically smart and chic, SJ who has a bit of a bag fetish, and me.
  10. I don't have to actually use the winning design.
  11. If I don't use the winning design the winner still gets the $20.
  12. One entry per person.
  13. I can make up more rules as we go along.

That's it.

Make something beautiful.
