Mutoh Belgium has partnered with Fotolia for the third year of the latter’s Ten Collection Campaign, a creative, digital and educational project that aims to democratise digital art.
“Many Mutoh wide-format printer users regularly use Fotolia royalty free images for high quality outputs for various applications such as sign and display, photo reproductions and soft signage. At Mutoh we are also using Fotolia XXL images for our wide-format printer demonstrations,” said Nick Decock, Mutoh Belgium’s commercial marketing manager.
“There is a nice link between Fotolia’s and Mutoh’s activities. Whereas Fotolia aims at democratising digital art, part of Mutoh’s philosophy is to support art projects to demonstrate the quality of our printers and at the same time to introduce the potential of wide-format digital printing to a wide variety of artists and professional photographers.”
Every two months, the campaign sees an internationally renowned photographer and an equally renowned graphic artist create a unique piece of art in which they expose their vision of the future. Each of the created works of art is released bi-monthly on the Ten Collection website and made available for free for a period of 24 hours for web users and graphics designers to download the layers, graphics elements and style effects.
Each release is followed by a contest, whereby professionals and amateurs can submit their own interpretations of the digital works of art, thereby challenging the artists.
The next work of art, a collaboration between designer Mateusz Chmura and photographer Lucia Giacani, will become available on 10 May at www.tenbyfotolia.com.
