Would the picture we put up be copied exactly, or would it be drawn properly before production by the professionals? Would just the general idea be enough?

Thanking you. smile

Where is this b****y competition anyway? Next thing will be a tea cosy!

On the right of the page under "Latest from Gransnet"

It depends on the design. If it's a motto/wording we can knock that up in a good font etc. But if it's a specific image you'll need to provide that - we're not going to be able to commission artists for the design.

Even if it's just wording with a basic image it would be useful for the purposes of the competition to send a scan of what you have in mind anyway, even if it's a rough sketch to begin with.

We can do a tea cosy next if you like? Followed by a frilly apron design which I believe is in demand? wink

Here's the link to the page with more details

But what if we can't get any further than a rough sketch. ie we can't draw?

No one would want to buy anything drawn by me!

Don't you just love it when threads link together?
The bookshop at Alnwick, Barter Bookshop, was where the Keep Calm and Carry On poster was rediscovered.

"Stine is an award-winning Danish designer who has collaborated with major corporations internationally. She worked initially with fashion industries in Italy and France before moving to London in 1996 and later setting up her own trend consultancy. Stine has been providing holistic forecasting services, encompassing the development of insight through to delivery of product design, for more years than she is willing to admit and she is today thoroughly embedded in the London design scene."

Really? Gosh.

hmm

j08 Wed 16-Oct-13 20:46:49

Oh, pleeeease tell me what " holistic forecasting services" services are.

And does "development of insight through to delivery of product design" mean she will do it for us (when we can't draw)?

j08 Wed 16-Oct-13 20:48:53

Why is Ms Stine bothering to faff around with a Gransnet tea towel? confused

j08 Wed 16-Oct-13 20:49:15

Is she your bessie mate Lara? smile

gracesmum Wed 16-Oct-13 21:10:06

j08 have you run out of Merlin DVDs or something? @stoptakingthep*ss

j08 Wed 16-Oct-13 21:19:03

I think GNHQ might be able to take it. smile

Been watching Whitechapel on catch-up. (Waiting for the DVD of The Tempest at The Globe to come out) (last thing Colin Morgan was in)

j08 Wed 16-Oct-13 21:20:18

was so good!

j08 Wed 16-Oct-13 21:20:48

That was a link. Wouldn't want you to miss it. smile

j08 Wed 16-Oct-13 21:23:44

Colin Morgan's next project coming soon at the Harold Pinter theatre

LaraGransnet (GNHQ) Wed 16-Oct-13 22:00:42

Haven't yet had the pleasure of meeting Stine. Wouldn't mind having someone like her as my 'bessie mate' though. Am rather lacking in design flair.

Anne58 Mon 28-Oct-13 14:39:19

Right then, I have submitted Mr P's my design, hope it's not too late!

Actually, it really was my design, in that I thought of it, it's just that Mr P is much better at drawing them I am! grin

I know it said that the entry must be made by 28th, so I am crossing my fingers that it's ok.

Anyone about at HQ to confirm?

Anne58 Mon 28-Oct-13 14:58:36

Hello?

Cooee?
