Design Challenge entry: 'Seventies Throw Pillows by Su_G' - throw pillows mockup
'Seventies Throw Pillows by Su_G': my entry in Spoonflower's '1970s Throw Pillows' Design Challenge. The brief called for "highly saturated colors, geometric shapes and forms, flower/plant-based motifs" that we could imagine seeing in a newly decorated home in the 1970’s. You have to be the judge of that as my 1st recollection of the seventies is of pastels... and then orange, brown and lime green (there was a particular lime green called 'sublime' - I kid you not - that was used in car paint; I commemorated it in another design: 'Mod Pickles Sub-lime by Su_G'). I guess what we learn from this is that colourways are datable and reflect their times and cultures; this won't be news to most designers!

The link for voting will be www.spoonflower.com/contest_voters_temp/new?contest_id=657 - open for one week only. Get ready for lots of orange and brown... & my guess is for about 900 entries. Wrong! It's 1429 entries as I write this!
