I am really impressed with the way Stardoll has been continuously adding to the Stardesign Catalog! I have seen some great pieces created by many of you here.
I remember the days when I myself had a successful stardesign business and other greats like Thatgirlsophy, r1ma and our very own Ms.Brigitte among many others.
Lastly there were those who went a step further and actually made their own line and brand with Stardesign items like M by Marcela. Seen below. She had a logo and different patterns that were released for a limited period of time just like LE.
Good times...
I want to celebrate that time in Stardoll History and inspire some of you to embrace Stardesign.
I am rolling out 2 stardesign competitions that will be taking place over the coming weeks.
The first, as you can see from the title is the return of our Launch Your Line Competition.
This is an amazing chance to get the creativity flowing, make some big bucks and develop an income and name for yourself in the world of Stardesign.
Now I know.. Stardesign is not everyone's forte, but I hope you all go outside your comfort zone and give it a try.
Launch Your Line:
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
Create your very own fabulous Stardesign line/collection for Fall 2014.
Minimum of 5 items. Must include at least 3 stardesign accessories (jewelry, shoes, handbags, scarves, hats etc..) as well. Create your own patterns/prints or signature design! Combine items, whatever you want! Be creative!
The top lines will be shown at the SMW hosted Fashion Week event in Sept.
(more details to follow)
~NEW!~
WORK WITH A PARTNER
Oh and by the way.... you can team up with a partner to create a whole line!!! Work together and split the $1000sd prize if you like. Please just state who you are working with!
~NEW!~
This is a 3 part competition.
1. Name your line and create your logo:
Due by Aug 13, 2014
Example:
No exceptions. Anyone who does not complete this part can not enter the next rounds. Submit designs in comments.
Best logo wins $100sd
PLEASE SUBMIT LOGO ONLY THIS WEEK!
2. Show us a preview (2-3 pieces):
Due by Aug 23, 2014
Example: M by Marcela
You do not have to buy the items if you don't want and it doesn't have to be fancy, however a little creativity in the way you present it can only help! You can use a photoshop to help with presentation. However, you can not photo edit your clothing.
If you don't wish to buy them, simply take a pic of them after created in Stardesign.
These will be submitted via email to Stardollsmostwanted@mail.com for privacy.
You can use items from Basics shop only to pair with your clothing. This is for presentation purposes only. For example you can pair a basics top with the SD jeans you created etc..
These are not counted as a part of your line.
Due by Aug 23, 2014
Best preview wins $100sd
We (Judges) will choose the top 10 previews to make it through to the final round.
This number may be more or less depending on the number of entries.
3. Lastly submit your final collection:
Again be sure to include some accessories.
The bare minimum is 5 pieces (Max 10 not including accessories).
Please remember if you continue to the next round you must have a min of 5, max of 10 clothing items. A minimum of 3 accessories. While you can have as many of any type of Stardesign accessories as you like (to enhance your line) you can only include either 1 jewelry item OR 1 shoe item as a part of your mandatory 3 accessories.
Example: By hollyoaksrocks*
Deadline uncertain due to postponed judging of the 2nd round!
Another post will be made after round 2 in order to post your final entries.
The top 10 will be included in our SMW Fashion Week to be presented on September 8, 2014. Our readers will then vote for the collection they like best in a poll.
The winner will receive:
$1000sd or the equivalent Superstar Package

Jenna you are the queen!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this competition!!!
Can't wait to start designing!
just question, i stopped designing on my main for two reasons
ReplyDelete1-someone reported me for jealousy
2-i dont have enough SD's
i want to show outfits together so i cant take picture from stardesign. all clothes i made from accounts with name acclessno1 acclessno2 ...etc and i write in their presentation that they are mine, check my main account mamerala if you would like
is it fine for you?
if not then i will try to collect SD's and design on my main
Yes that is fine for this comp :)
ReplyDeleteYAY!!! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI was always dreaming about my Stardoll Stardesign collection :D
ReplyDeleteOne question; We can design in Fashion and Jewlery,but can we in Hair too?
can i do that too.. i ran out of space on my main for designs :s
ReplyDeletethank you so much i will take picture and post ^-^
ReplyDeleteIf you already have a collection that goes together... sure use that! If not you can create on another account, but you still must enter under your main account just tell me you created them with that account. On the presentation of the other account write that it is owned by your main account. Thanks
ReplyDeleteok i can definately do that
ReplyDeletethanks :3
yes
ReplyDeleteIf you want, but it is not a part of the judging this time :)
ReplyDeleteWow..this competition was just like in real life.. "project runway".. I'll surely prepare for this..I love designing.. and I'll surely invest for this...
ReplyDeleteThanks.
Jenna your the best...
This comp sounds amazing! I will try to participate :)
ReplyDeleteThis is amazing but I can't enter
ReplyDeleteSo the designs have to be in Stardesign fashion, huh? :( no hair, jewelry or decor?

ReplyDeleteIts probably your browser. It has been working fine on this end. Try with another browser.
ReplyDeleteThat's great! I did it in stages because people are so busy and stardesign is a challenge for some. If it looks like most people are finished..I may speed it up a bit.
ReplyDeletedone i hope you love it, i named it ghost is it clear? i will buy design later in collection stage

No you can do it in whatever you want.
ReplyDeleteNo hair or furniture at the moment. However jewelry can be a part of your fashion line.
ReplyDeleteSorry you can't. Why can't you?
ReplyDeleteGypsy By Sandyhermosa
ReplyDeleteI love that!!!!!!
ReplyDeletethanks :D
ReplyDeleteBeautiful
ReplyDeletei would like to just say
ReplyDeletedigital drawing problem because it will be much better than designing please pick one of them.
i can make digital drawing logo but i preferred designing since its designing competition
but as you wish since you're the owner :)
I have had an idea for stardesign forever and im so happy you have started this! It's called Quirky and will consist of 5 clothing items 2 dresses a bag 1 pair of pants, and a shirt! And 3 earings and 2 necklaces!
ReplyDeleteYou cant buy those clothes thoguh, the whole pointt is to make a line that people will want to buy. :)
ReplyDeletesrry 1 dress and 1 male shirt!
ReplyDeleteyes. but its designing competiton so i wanted logo+clothes design
ReplyDeletelike this i wont win move to next stage to show my clothes because everyone did better with digital drawing
There is no elimination for the logo part of the comp. Only after the previews. Everyone makes it to the previews. And all clothes/accessories have to be created with Stardesign.
ReplyDeletei don't know if this question has been answered already; but are we allowed to use words/phrases in our designs or do they have to be abstract patterns?
ReplyDeleteok :(
ReplyDeleteYes you are. Just don't copy a collection from a RL designer.
ReplyDeleteBlack Diamond by Anjumpink66
ReplyDeleteokay thank you!
ReplyDeleteWAAAAA SOO COOL OMG :O
ReplyDeleteI love it! ALMOSt psychedelic!
ReplyDeleteHere is mine. The previews, I would be able to to it this weekend or maybe tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteI had download and use gimp for the first Time XD
A really nice program
hope you like
Aw thank you:) im glad you like it!
ReplyDeleteSo many of these are NOT DONE IN STARDESIGN which pisses me off, majorly.
ReplyDeleteIf it's a star design comp, make it in stardesign. I can't afford photoshop, and Gimp gave my computer a virus, so I'm staying out of this one because it seems ridiculously unfair to me.
I used an online photo editor, like sumopaint.
ReplyDeleteThere are tons of online photo editing systems that are similar to photoshop.
The logo doesn't need to be made in Stardesign
ReplyDeleteexactly what i said so i quit :(
ReplyDeletewell yes you can make on online sites
ReplyDeletebut still digital drawing nothing like designing either designs only or digital drawing only
If you're totally brand new to photoshop and GIMP. Try doing typography. Just rearrange/manipulate text on a word doc, paint, online photo editors etc. to make a logo. An example would be the Chanel. They just use two C's and flipped one of them backwards. Typographic logos are the simplest and easiest to make.
ReplyDeletei know digital drawing but as i said design not equal to digital drawing
ReplyDeleteand theres wasnt code which to use exactly, well ok but yeah digital drawing can do anything, designing we got limit we arent free to reshape much
so not fair either digital drawing only or designing only both no
You are completely wrong. Its a logo. Other than the $100sd prize for the one we like best NOTHING ELSE is based on the logo! No one is eliminated based on the logo. It is just to see your brand etc.. It has NOTHING to do with winning the comp. So it is your choice to stay out but you are completely misunderstanding the comp.
ReplyDeleteSame as above
ReplyDeletewell if it will be judged completely fairly not by the most perfect one thanks to digital drawing then fine by me :)
ReplyDeletei'm just trying to say designing nothing like digital drawing so it will be different on judging thats all
I really do not understand the difficulty some are having with understanding this...
ReplyDelete1. Yes you can create the logo anyway you want.
2. No it doesn't matter that some are creating the logo in photoshop and some are creating in Stardesign
3. WHY? Because you are not being judged or eliminated on the logo. It is just for show.
4. You are ONLY being judged on your stardesign collection.
5. NO ONE will be eliminated in the 1st round.
6. You are ONLY eliminated after ROUND 2 when you show the preview of your collection.
7. AGAIN ALL CLOTHING, BAGS, ACCESSORIES MUST BE CREATED IN STARDESIGN AND BE ELIGIBLE FOR SALE. The only bodies allowed to be used must also be Stardoll bodies.
I hope this makes it more clear
i know that no one will be eliminated but it wont be fair if someone won for digital drawing cause it was better
ReplyDeleteI understand this if we were judging the logo's but we are not. The can not digitally draw the clothes so it will all be stardesign. :)
ReplyDeletei understand all this but i still wish to win first round, but my design wont be as good as digital ones thats all
ReplyDeleteThat part is just for fun not to carry on in the competition. That's why it is a small $100sd separate prize.
ReplyDeleteA logo does not have to be complicated to be good. M by Marcella's logo is great and could be done in paint or anywhere. Simple is sometimes better
ReplyDeleteyes
ReplyDeletei could have made it on program but i preferred designing :)
Ok so here is my logo :)
ReplyDeleteI use photo monkey if that helps
ReplyDeleteyou spelled stardoll wrong on your logo.
ReplyDeleteotherwise it's cute, good luck! ^^ and good luck to everyone else too.
Here's my logo.
ReplyDeleteI really like this idea Jenna! I don't understand how you do it!
I did a strange kind of theme here. I'm really looking forward to the other parts of this comp too!
I call my brand - Extraordinary
I'm on team, still working on our logo, but if I had been by myself, My collection probably would have been called "Unique by Annique"
ReplyDeleteWhat's the name of your brand?
ReplyDeleteThank you!
ReplyDeleteHaha! that's a great name!
ReplyDeleteit is ( 60s is back )
ReplyDeleteOh ok. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI like her team name It's unKANNIE. Cute :D
ReplyDeleteHope its ok i love the 60s / 70s
ReplyDeletethanks!
ReplyDeleteThanks, and I'm really glad you get it! BTW where did you see it, because I still have some finishing touches to do on the logo. SDC?
ReplyDeleteI just want to say this: Jenna, your generosity never stops astounding me! You do all of this for us! I just want to say this it doesn't go unnoticed by us. We all love you!
ReplyDeleteI am working with Karujaro! :)
ReplyDeleteI am thinking of doing it by drawing. Does that possibly mean less chances of winning?
ReplyDeleteI am working with xXanniquegXx
ReplyDeleteJenna already knew our name! look below!
ReplyDeleteThis is my (Karujaro) and StyleGoth.'s logo :) We went for pastel grunge aka "Creepy and Cute" as we call it :)
ReplyDeleteOASIS by Oayes
ReplyDelete(Disqus always uploads low quality)
I love that logo SOOOOOO much! Just looking at it makes me want to go to St. Pete Florida and lie in a hammock on the beach drinking out of a coconut!
ReplyDeleteI just saw you guys talking about it on SDC
ReplyDeleteNo it's great! I just didn't realize that was your actual brand names. I thought it was like your slogan/campaign.
ReplyDeleteNo it doesn't
ReplyDeleteThis is such a great idea Jenna! <3 Love it so much! Love all of these entries so so so much. I feel like mine is a bit odd <3 Looking forward to this comp so much. I can do a plain "Enchanted Misfit" logo if wanted since the photo would change based on the season, clothing etc. :) But here it is :) (I also included one for Lady Misfits and Gentleman Misfits! I am so excited!) :)
ReplyDeleteI decided to include for fun the original idea which was just this... without photos but the photos were changeable so I did it that way. :D I also used Polyvore to create these and used a free font site to make the titles and then added them onto Polyvore to edit with these <3
ReplyDeleteit has a PRIZE therefore is JUDGED.
ReplyDeletecute! I love that you put the city over the word city <3333
ReplyDeleteI'm totally In.. even when Stardesign is not my forte... My logo looks like a Business card Dont you think?
ReplyDeleteSo does mine!
ReplyDeleteAw thank you :)
ReplyDeleteahh so I guess I'll give this a shot? My line is called C by Courtney and totally just spun off Marcela's name, oops.
ReplyDeleteIs that a cross?
ReplyDeleteHello, here is my logo inspired by the sun, my doll elena0505. You like?
ReplyDelete"Soy espaƱola y no entiendo mucho esto :P" Pero por el premio vale la pena. :)
