Parsons Design Challenge: Typography Costume Contest

What type of character are you?

Join us as we take the Halloween Typography challenge in anticipation of the up coming NYC Halloween Parade on Monday the 31 October 2011.

Be creative and bold!

Create a costume based on your favorite typeface.

Your costume must be original, designed and made by you. Any materials are acceptable. Kudos for teams using the same typeface, which spell out words.

Guest judges from the fashion and design industry will award a prize for best costume.

Parsons and all New School students may enter to be eligible to win a $100 gift certificate for art materials.
