I am working on www.NasihaDesign.com – an online store and design blog.

Initially it’ll be stocking T-Shirts, Armbands and hand crafted Ramadan greeting cards.  We plan on launching at least one new design tshirt per month.  I would like to get in touch with artists who would like an online showcase to sell and promote their works. I will also be commissioning projects to said artists on an ongoing basis.  The focus is not only on selling goods.  I would like to feature any Islamic & Eastern art worldwide on the blog, perhaps interview prominent designers, painters and so on.

If you are interested or know of anyone who would have an interest in this, contact me or leave a comment below.

I started a little crowdsourcing project at Autostyle.co.za -

The contest is simple.  Design a T-Shirt for us, winning design gets a R2000 Autostyle shopping voucher.

Visit the Autostyle Blog to find out more on about this. Rules, closing time and our logo are all listed there

Why crowdsource?
For starters it’ll bring some new perspective and fresh designs.  Normally we would choose from a handful of designs for t-shirts.  Getting the public in on it brings tons of new designs and concepts.

It creates a buzz around the Autostyle brand too.   Bloggers have written about it, twitter uses have retweeted my messages, forum users discuss and exchange ideas.
