“A Bigger Splash” by Malika Favre

Enter That Guy Who Used to Design Your Band’s Flyers In: This Illustration Competition

Outline Editions is teaming up with Using Music to create a series of artworks to accompany Using Music’s collection of Library music. Why? Because most artwork used by production music libraries is unimaginative and downright cheesy. Submit an illustration, and your artwork could end up on the Using Music website and various album sleeves.

Online Competition open through August 29, 2016.

Tuesday
