This should be interesting, AdNation is presenting a design competition titled “Rock me Leonardo”, the idea is to add your magic to a Guitar Hero controller in order to win some cool gadgets, it’s open for creatives in the UAE only, so if you were there, do it, and if you are not, sneak a peek, it won’t hurt!
Basically you’ll send your address to AdNation, they’ll send you a guitar controller, you add your touch and send it back.
The deadline is next week, so hurry up, take a look and participate!
