Lightboxing. One Lightbox. Two designers.

 
Fruhling vs Fruhling <b>Nick and Spence: One dysfunctional family</b>

When they’re not saving lives or eradicating pipe-borne fungi from the world, brothers Nick and Spence Fruhling of British Columbia both like to kick back in matching overalls. And when they’re not doing that, they’re both designers. But the similarities end there. As they grapple with the theme of Dysfunction using the same six visual elements, will Nick and Spence give new meaning to the term “dysfunctional family”? Let’s go ringside and take in the action!

What is Lightboxing™?

Two designers are invited to create designs based on a particular theme, from products in a lightbox. The lightbox contains 6 images and/or typefaces, chosen by the Veer creative team.

The rules are simple: make something great. Use any software you want. Crop. Cut. Paste. Use filters. Fight dirty. Write copy. Make a knockout design. Our judges then comment on the designs and choose a winner, using a highly sophisticated and completely subjective scoring system, based on originality, effectiveness, and gut reaction.

Lightboxing was inspired in part by Coudal’s Photoshop Tennis and Speak Up’s Word It. Thanks. And since we know you’ll ask anyway, the typefaces used for the Lightboxing header and callouts are Jukebox Fenway Park and Font Bureau Agency.

Nice.
