Let me give you a little info on the "Don't Panic" Franchise. They bring out monthly packs which include a competition voted posted and pack. Along with the main bit of random junk about the night-life and so called "culture" in certain areas (such as Nottingham) the only reason people pick up this promotional pack is to get the free poster. Because of course, anything free as a student is good!

The Don't Panic Pack is a unique free publication found in carefully selected independent shops, bars, universities and art spaces. Also distributed outside alternative music events and launch parties, it contains all sorts of arts and culture goodies and information for cities all around the world with the emphasis on design and the future of our planet.

At the heart of the pack find the Don't Panic Poster where a rotation of established and unknown, up and coming artists design around an issue that affects culture across the world.


Each month the poster is picked by the most amount of votes. The poster with the most votes will be put into that month’s edition of the Don't Panic Pack. In addition, each month has one word about which you must design the poster on. The one I have chosen to do was "Chaos".

After some brainstorming or as some like to call it "golden showering" to be politically correct, I came up with the concept of crayons! Crayons you ask, yes crayons. Kids + Crayons = Chaos. My drawing is also crude deliberately, a bit like a kid. I drew it in illustrator with the thought of chaos and messiness. I chose the red crayon to go off on a tangent and write the word itself. It’s always the red one that draws people in, and it’s the red that is more symbolic to the theme of chaos. Here's a link to it, vote if you please, it would be nice. And PLEASE click on the image to view the full size as you cannot see the detail in the small picture. Thanks.
