*My graphic-designer friends beef about it when outfits crowdsource their graphic-design problems to "contests" for "students," instead of just hiring some guy for some real money.
*On the other hand, I used to do that all the time myself, so I'm not the guy to properly complain about the practice. Kids! Here's your chance to build gooey adhesive stickers that get attached to all kinds of cool internetted-things!
Thinglink sticker challenge: Suggest a design and win an iPad
Thinglink (www.thinglink.com) challenges design students to create a visual graphic concept to be used by Thinglink in promo stickers. We have two favorite slogans, which we would like to see on a sticker with our logo.

- Each design should contain the Thinglink logo (see attached)
- No size restrictions, ideally suitable for laptops, note pad covers, etc. small items
