Reusable shopping bags are becoming more and more commonplace, and grocery chain Winn-Dixie wants to make sure their newest bags will stand out from the crowd. They are looking for designs that go beyond a simple logo on a blank background - they should be fun, creative, cool & trendy. In other words, they should be something shoppers would be proud to carry around. Winn-Dixie wants its own fun style and designs to share with customers. They'd like to feature store branding but focus mainly on unique & engaging designs. Trader's Joe's is a good example, but of course, Winn-Dixie is looking for its own unique look.
As a starting place, you can find Winn-Dixie brand assets & some additional guidelines in the Assets tab below. Please note that we are specifically looking for you to submit designs for the artwork that will appear on the bags themselves - as opposed to designing the shape/structure of the bags. In terms of artwork, we're open to seeing all sorts of designs, so show us your most creative ideas!
DELIVERABLES: Five creators will be selected to each create:
- One (11.8" x 8.66" x 15.5") reusable bag design. See the dielines in the Assets for more specifics.
EXPOSURE: Winn-Dixie stores
TARGET AUDIENCE: Current Winn-Dixie shoppers
EXECUTIONAL MANDATORIES:
- Designs should lean into the core red color of Winn-Dixie branding
- Designs should include the Winn-Dixie logo, but it does not need to be the main component of the design
- Designs can feature the Winn-Dixie checkmark logo element (provided in the Assets tab below)
- Designs should be anchored in the grocery world and feature food or hint to food in some way
- Designs can feature hand drawn elements, including Winn-Dixie's collection of doodles (you can see more about this in the Assets tab below)
- Designs featuring text must use one of the Winn-Dixie fonts (which you can find in the Assets tab below)
- Designs can feature either lifestyle imagery (must be from stock photography or your own original work) or 100% drawn/designed assets
- Designs should be evergreen. No seasonal designs, please.
- If your design is influenced by the Winn Win Twinns, please note that you CANNOT feature actual pictures or drawings of the Twinns themselves. You can use quotes from their commercials, or other creative assets, such as their signature headbands (you can find more information on how to use the Headband asset in the Assets tab below)
- Designs are also welcome to draw inspiration from Winn Dixie's weekly Item Price content, which have a hand drawn/doodle feeling to them
In order to be considered for this project, you must include the below materials in your pitch submission. For examples of effective pitches, check out this gallery.
- TEXT (REQUIRED): In 500 characters or less explain your approach or vision for the design.
- BAG DESIGN (REQUIRED): Submit an image demonstrating your approach and vision for this design. While the image does not need to be 100% complete, the more polished a submission is, the more easily the sponsor will be able to understand your vision. Upload an image of your Artwork as a JPEG or PNG. Note that if you are selected, you will be required to provide a high-resolution 300 DPI layered PSD of your Artwork.
- LINKS (REQUIRED): To your previous graphic design work. Please specify your role & what the asset was used for. The Sponsor believes the submissions might generate additional work, and these links would demonstrate your ability to continue to execute on this project.
