Concrete Playground

In the future there will be a giant super tortoise crushing cop cars in Times Square. It could happen.

For its fourth and final Visual Response competition for 2010, Australian INfront went with the theme 'The Future'. Guaranteed to provoke imagery of all manner of shiny, pre-apocalyptic gadgets, post-apocalyptic wastelands, robo-machine-zombie-cops and witty word play, The Future is a gold mine for 2D visionaries. Or a minefield.

Over 100 entries were received for this Visual Response from artists, illustrators and designers (James Jirat Patradoon, MASH Studio, Mark Gowing, TOKO, Rhett Wade, Debaser and Synapse — to drop some names). The top twenty, as voted by the people, will be on exhibition at Roller for one night only. Get along, grab a beer and celebrate the year that was.
