A little while ago, we ran a contest with the help of our sponsor Foxconn called the Foxconn Graphic Design Contest. The premise was simple: design a poster or retail box for Foxconn motherboard or VGA products. We received some excellent entries, and now we are finally able to announce the winner. For the eye-catching and certainly original use of old material, first prize goes to:

Winner

Swatt
Score: 90%
Comments: Very creative and eye-catching design, whoever sees this on the retail display will pick it up to find out what exactly it is.

Runners Up

PS2Fish
Score: 88%
Comments: Very professional design in and out, basically covers all the elements needed for a "real" color box design. Would be a perfect design

Very good graphics but lack of a theme sentence. It takes a while to figure out what exactly the whole picture is.

The galaxy-like design is a nice touch, but lacks pizzazz.

Deux
Score: 70%
Overall nice layout but lack of a specific theme. The green color theme looks a bit "spooky".
