Win 5 Vector Mega-Packs from Designious August 17
contest runs now through 27 August 2010
Laser-etched graphics are a great way to make your product designs stand out from the crowd. So, we’ve teamed up with Designious to offer three prizes of 5 vector mega packs.
Designious is a design studio that creates and sells royalty free vector art packages for designers. They’ve combined some of their best Vector Packs into combination Mega Packs. They’ve got art in all kinds of genres: seamless patterns, florals, calligraphy, animal heads, naked ladies etc.
Ponoko will select three winners at random to each receive 5 mega packs of their choice. That’s approximately $250 worth of vector art that you can use however you want. To enter, just leave a comment suggesting what new vector art packages you would like to see on Designious. The contest closes at midnight (US Eastern time) on Friday, 27 August.
You can only comment once, and you must leave a valid email address in order to win. (Do not put your email in the actual comment.) By entering this contest you agree to let Ponoko share the email address associated with your comment on this post with Designious.
Good luck!
p.s. Check out the Designious Times for artist interviews, tutorials, and inspiration.

I’d say a tech package could be useful for electronic enclosures that want to display for example on/off logos, “lightning bolts” or even resistors, basic electronics symbols, etc…

Nods to architecture would be great – Arts & Crafts, Art Nouveau, mid mod….
This is a dream contest!!!

An anatomy package would be outstanding. Include skeletal structures, nervous systems, organs, neurons, etc.
These all have great design properties that could be integrated into really interesting projects.

I think a Victorian style pack would be really nice. It could include images like intricate chandeliers, armchairs, and swirl designs.

As a non-designer, access to good quality vector artwork for projects is critical. I do a lot of laser cutting work, and a lot of art is too elaborate to translate well into that medium. So I would like vectors of common/iconic objects that are easily identifiable in one or two colors (which is all you get in many materials). Or repeating patterns that have connected elements (so pieces wouldn’t fall out if laser cut.) Old newspaper and catalog artwork from the early 1900’s would be cool. The product drawings were typically black & white line-art but still very detailed.

Definitely Furniture. Plan views for room design/layout, Elevations for quick backgrounds. From classic design pieces like intricate Louis XIV chairs through the clean modern Barcelona chair, as well as lamps, chandeliers, tables, sofas and shelving.
The possibilities are endless.

I could really use a cobblestone vector pack right now for my current project.
August 17th, 2010 at 8:29 pm
How about a science fiction/space themed vector pack…
August 17th, 2010 at 8:58 pm
I’m always looking for good animals – especially silhouettes. And dinosaurs, it’s surprisingly hard to find good dinosaur silhouettes.
August 17th, 2010 at 9:36 pm
I would die for these packages. I could use them in so many projects! From t-shirts to websites to postcards or business cards! I would love to use this art to create new and exciting art pieces for myself, my friends and family and my customers. The seamless package would be perfect for business cards, to give them that extra edge everyone seems to be searching for, with these, I could do that!

I’d like to second Josh’s idea about a science fiction/space themed vector pack… I think it would be great to have seamless textures of moonscapes, as well as general plating (for ships) and various other icons that could be used as badges.
I know for me, I’d love to have more raster work on my designs but finding something that’s both royalty free and of high enough quality for lasers is a tough find.

I would love to see a vector pack of militay themed symbols and the digital camouflage.
August 18th, 2010 at 3:48 am
What about landscape design? Trees etc..
August 18th, 2010 at 6:06 am
As an architect/designer these are so cool. They could help me in the design arena!
August 18th, 2010 at 6:16 am
ooooh – so many I’d like!
Art Deco designs, toys, children’s characters, but most of all I’d love ‘under the microscope’ or ‘patterns from nature’
August 18th, 2010 at 9:37 am
how about some puzzle pieces or vectors with some type of interlocking designs?
August 18th, 2010 at 9:48 am
UFO’s , spaceships, things that fly , biplanes ect would be great
August 18th, 2010 at 10:26 am
I’d like to see a dedicated mid-century mod pack featuring seamless patterns bundled with furniture and architectural items.
August 18th, 2010 at 5:34 pm
I’d like to see animals as well- but in that antiqued etched sort of style. Particularly horses, dogs and cats. Thanks for the competition- it’s a great opportunity!
August 21st, 2010 at 12:16 am
These are great! I think animal designs would be very useful, but I would also love something art deco.
August 22nd, 2010 at 8:19 pm
A vehicle pack would be quite handy.. cars, boats, bikes, planes etc
August 23rd, 2010 at 9:47 am
antique ad reproductions (vectorized, of course), monogrammed letters like you’d find at the beginning of a fancy book, and more frames/embellishments!
August 24th, 2010 at 5:51 pm
I’d love to see something on a steampunk theme!

I’d like to see fancy ornate letters like those found in the Book of Kells. Gargoyles and other grotesques. Celtic knotwork.

Wow those intricate victorian floral patterns would save some time tracing vectors!
August 27th, 2010 at 8:03 am
I’d really like a mayan or aztec theme pack. I’ve been looking for some vectors like that recently, havent found anything!
August 27th, 2010 at 8:28 am
Oh, yes, I would love these.
August 27th, 2010 at 8:34 am
Repeatable patterns that are more natural looking; rockface, grass texture, etc, not lifelike but symbolic.
Lovely contest!
August 27th, 2010 at 8:41 am
And I’m going to finish my thought: More pattern elements. and I agree with Mayan or aztec packs, and bring on the steampunk!
August 27th, 2010 at 5:46 pm
A Steampunk/gearpunk pattern pack (w/ gears, dirigibles, analog computer, steampunk zeppelins/flying machines,Edwardian era fashion/architecture/steampunk/gearpunk tech, fog pocket watches ect ect ect…) would be awesome…
August 27th, 2010 at 8:13 pm
My suggestions would include:
}
-Fantasy pack (creatures of myth, monsters, heroes, etc)
-Education/school pack (schools, supplies, books, bulletin boards to be filled in, etc)
-Shiny! pack (jewelry, gemstones, jewelry scroll work designs) {No- don’t actually call it the shiny pack
-Alternative Healing/Energy-Work pack (chakras, acupuncture/meridian charts, Buddhist/Taoist symbols, etc)
-Medical or lab supplies pack
-Castles pack
Some of these themes could be individual packs, some would be broken down into smaller categories, as they incorporate multiple sub-themes and a lot of graphic potential.
