Tuesday this week, we had our wallpaper challenge but with a twist. Instead of having a non-designer office mate tell us the theme he/she wants, one designer (A) assigned a subject (whether it’s a person, object or just about anything), then designer A will tell the next designer (B) on what to do about the subject, then  designer B will tell designer C on what to do and this goes on, till the ending of the story will be done by designer A, assigned by the last designer. Implementation phase of the wallpaper challenge was still one hour.

The order of designers in this challenge was:
Wayne -> Michael -> Me -> Clyde -> Dominique -> Eman -> Lance -> Wayne

Wayne was the one who gave the subject, while Lance was the last designer in order and the one who gave the ending back to Wayne. We didn’t know what happened to the story with the other designers until the challenge ended, and we got to see all the wallpapers.

Our subject was “Juan Tamad”, a Filipino character named as “Lazy John”. Juan is so lazy that he would sleep under a tree with his mouth open to wait for a fruit to fall on his mouth. For more information about him you can read this Wikipedia article.

The task that was given by Michael to me was:

Juan Tamad is being held as a hostage by the ALIENS because he ate the special bayabas (guava fruit).

This was really fun compared to our normal challenges. I’d surely love to do this again. Oh yeah, the green stuff that’s on the Juan Tamad’s mouth is actually the bayabas that ended up looking like a ball, I know it lacks details.

I’ll place the link about this challenge; featuring all the designers’ work plus the story once we post it on DFC.
