Design is.

Last minute rebound! :) Design can be so many things, so to me it's about the connections we find and choices we make when there are infinite possibilities!

-----

Design is at the heart of everything we do at Shopify. That’s why we’ve teamed up with Dribbble to host an Official Rebound Playoff!

The Contest
Celebrate great design with us and show the world what it means to you. Simply post a rebound to this original piece by our very own @paulpritchard depicting your definition of design and try your hand at winning some great prizes.

Get creative with type, icons, illustrations, patterns, finger paint, or anything else you can dream up. A great rebound should include and complete the phrase, “Design is…”.

Our grand prize winner and two runner-ups will be chosen by a panel of judges from the Dribbble Team and Shopify Design Team. Additionally, 10 honourable mentions will also be chosen. Judging criteria will include creativity and originality, execution and demonstration of technical skill, and the result of popular vote.

Here’s what we’re giving away:

Grand prize (1):
$5K Apple gift card
3-day An Event Apart 2014 conference pass
