Von Glitschka writes tutorials for us often, and he's put together an awesome book on patterns. It's titled "Drip.Dot.Swirl." And he's giving one away to a lucky reader of Vectortuts+. We recently ran a contest called "Comment to Win a Free Adobe Illustrator Book from Vectortuts+," which was super successful. Congratulations to the winners of that contest. We'll be running this contest the same way. It's super easy to enter. Learn more at the jump!
Winner Chosen!
The contest has concluded. Thanks to everyone that entered. The winner is Ressa McCray, (on twitter @ressamac). Congratulations and enjoy the great book!
What Must I Do?
To enter into the drawing, all you need to do is follow us on Twitter, if you aren't already! Next, leave a comment containing your username for verification purposes. I'll then randomly select a one person from this list and email you! It's as simple as that. I'll be selecting one random winners in the next 48 hours, and then I'll update this post with the winner's name!
Up for Grabs!
A copy of Drip.Dot.Swirl. by Von Glitschka.
Description: A Pattern for Creative Success
These diverse and unique patterns will jump start the imagination. Take the fast train from Boringville, and enter the fascinating world of interlocked embellishments. Learn more about the book over at Vonster Books.
While it's only required to follow Vectortuts+ on twitter to win this contest, you may also want to follow Von on twitter as well. He drops some of the most off the wall tweets about random funny things and he also sometimes links up to exclusive downloads he's created, and other illustration goodies.
