Event Wrap-Up: Hot Sauce Label
Design Competition
The CADC held their first annual Hot Sauce Design Competition where all were welcome to submit their peppery visions of what a hot sauce label should look like. The name of the Hot Sauce was “Deadline Hot Sauce.” Most creatives know how hot-under-the-collar deadlines can make them, so naturally we had our name. The judging night (and all around general hanging out + merrymaking) was held Thursday, May 14th at Agave Grill in Hartford.
The Hot Sauce Headquarters donated the hot sauces as well as the prizes, their expert opinions for judging and a lot of insight for designers on how to constantly get involved with projects like this on a regular basis. The judges were: David Ashley and Chris McCarthy of The Innovative Company LLC, and Jamie Klim of Brand Creative.
The event was also sponsored by Appleton Coated Papers, a company that has helped many designers make their spicy-art-sauces look (and probably taste) even better.
The event was a great success and everyone had a great time. A big thank you to all of the people who donated their time+energy+money to put this on and let us not forget all those who submitted their designs to be ruthlessly judged (it wasn’t that bad, but it sounds so much better). Photos of all designs + the winners are below, please check them out.
