Fisher Jeffries Christmas Card
Commission Competition
Fisher Jeffries are celebrating 9 glorious years of supporting the State's emerging graphic designers
with our highly prized Christmas card competition/commission.
Each year since 1994 a Christmas card design from a South Australian School of Art graphic design
student wins the commission for the Fisher Jeffries Christmas Card.
This assignment brings two fold rewards for the winner. The first is cash: $2,500 this year for the
successful design, plus prizes for runners up. Second, and a huge incentive to these keenly ambitious
designers is the exposure to the firm's high profile clientele and the ensuing publicity.
As in receiving commissions in professional life there is a client brief which students must follow. The
brief stipulates:
•
Card must be distinctive and memorable.
•
Must be witty and reinforce the firm's character as a leading provider of quality and value for
money legal services.
•
Convey the essence of Christmas and the holiday season.
•
Have a shelf life of 4 - 6 weeks.
•
Stay within a given budget.
•
Finalists must present their design and costings to a panel of Judges and the winner is
announced at a cocktail party in September each year.
Said Fisher Jeffries Business Development Coordinator, Lorraine Wohling: "The project is an ongoing
encouragement to emerging graphic designers whose mission is to design a memorable and individual
Christmas card reflecting the organisation's corporate style and to send our greetings around the
globe to national and international clients and contacts."
"We're in the business of selling intellect therefore the winning design must also be witty, clever, and
professionally designed."
"For almost ten years we have seen some fabulous designs ranging from very humorous to
intellectually sharp."
