The vast majority of projects on our site solicit design for two dimensions: monitor screens, stationery, packaging labels, posters and so on. But in fact, a small sliver of the contests that we host – and a growing one, we hope – are for designs that describe three dimensions. We’re talking product design, 3D renderings, architectural mock-ups and the like. And they are pretty awesome.
To be sure, thinking in three dimensions requires a very different skill set than thinking in two. If you’ve ever felt constrained by the parameters of logo or web design, though, then one of these 3D design contests may be for you. In any case, these awesome examples are sure to inspire:
