Celebrities. Try to deny it, but there's probably at least a few people that make you perk up a bit when you see their faces and names on the cover of magazines or in the headlines of your newsfeed. We love to see them succeed and fail, complete amazingly inspiring acts of strength, creativity or kindness as well as absurdly embarrassing faux-pas.
With the internet, camera phones, news drones and hordes of relentless paparazzi, it's hard to imagine situations in which we haven't seen all those celebrities we love and hate. But we at DesignCrowd refuse to just take things at face value. We always ask ourselves, "What if...", and with 400,000 designers at our fingertips, we've got a great way of finding answers.
Celebrity contests are among our favorite ways of challenging our Photoshop, graphic, and icon designers to show off their skills while having a bit of fun. We've gotten historical figures involved in the #ice bucket challenge, and wondered how other people would've stacked up in Justin Bieber's Calvin Klein shoot or Britney Spears's Woman's Health cover. We've turned our favorite stars into hipsters, emojis and Orange is the New Black inmates, and made the most out of Vince Vaughn's free stock photos. Below is a collection of some of our favorite previous design contest entries, ready to bring some fun into your day. Enjoy!
