We’re psyched when bloggers take it upon themselves to curate the work on Behance and post projects they’re loving, because we get to revisit some stellar projects, and many of you get to see them for the first time. We thought we’d share a few Behance roundups we found on other blogs, along with their picks.

Video Games vs. Real Life by Aled Lewis
For anyone who spent their childhood helping 8-bit Mario rescue the Princess, you’ll love (and relate to) this mash-up of videos games and real life. “As a kid I would become completely immersed in these crude pixel environments and they would seem very real. I thought it would be fun to try to express how gamers see these worlds.” [Project Link] Read more →

Red Dot Awards
Have a design concept you’re really psyched about? The Red Dot Awards wants you to submit your latest and best idea, as a product with good design, to their int’l competition. We’re well acquainted with this competition, and love checking out the mind-blowing concepts that receive awards (including some on Behance). [Enter by July 10]

H&M “Your Art Here” Competition
H&M recently launched a simple design competition with a big prize – the chance for your design to be sold (in t-shirt form) at H&M stores all over the country. There are very little restrictions of what you can enter, so take a few designs and add your design to their entry gallery, then tell your friends and get a few votes. A powerful chance for exposure to the masses! [Visit Competition]

Get Design Feedback with CompVersions
We noticed this brand-new web app that offers a great tool for designers, especially those working with clients. Upload a few images to allow your clients to easily view & choose from multiple revisions at once. Looks like it’ll cut down on miscommunications, and make dealing with your clients a smooth process.

24 Hour Film Race: April 29-30
Since 2002, creatives have been “film racing” to create an original short film in 24 hours. Can a movie be made in 24 hours? Not only is the answer yes, but is turns out that making a movie in a day is extremely exciting and inspiring. Anyone can participate – $180,000 cash prize! Register here, and check out last year’s winners. [Visit Site]

Ample Sample Design Challenge
What can you create with retired carpet samples? This contest calls on the design community to rethink the carpet samples monopolizing their resource libraries and re-imagine them as raw materials for other objects. Anyone interested in eliminating waste using industrial design should definitely check this one out. Finalists showcased on NeoCon Trade Fair. [Visit Site]

Adobe Turns the Tablet into a Photoshop Competition
Adobe has three brand new Photoshop CS5 companion apps for the iPad coming out this May: Adobe Color Lava, Adobe Eazel and Adobe Nav. We can’t wait to see how these new tablet tools, plus the possibility of more Adobe-compatible apps on the horizon, inspires new work on the Behance Network! [Visit Site]

1) Creative Tastemakers:
Foodies know that a good meal is a work of art. This Web Series created by TheD4D is about creative tastemakers; chefs and baristas give you a peep into the passion and technique involved in what they do. We especially recommend “An Espresso Obsession,” at LA’s landmark Intelligentsia Coffee.




2) Doodlers Anonymous
D.A. was founded to celebrated the doodle addiction – for people who need to draw, sketch and doodle, (on anything they can find) constantly. Browser through the blog, featured doodlers, or their doodle calendars.




3) Creative ProShow
On March 26th in Rome, Italy, seven Creative Professionals from around the world will come together to talk about their techniques and workflow. Behance Ambassador Martin Benes is heading up this one-day  event, with a goal to widen the boundaries to creativity and share experiences.

1) ideeeeas – Keep and share insights with simplicity.
Great ideas start small. Even if you’re thinking big, two images and a tweet should be enough to explain the essence of your thoughts. On ideeeas, scroll through dozens of clear, digestible ideas such as “create a newscast based on a community’s tweets and RSS feeds” or “create a door lock for a bathroom that lets your enter and leave with clean hands.”

2) 365.io – a photo a day for one year
365.io is a simple photography upload platform – take a photo each day to upload to 365.io in a snap. What starts as an empty page will quickly became a frenetic collection of memories, a lifecast  of your year. Created for “Project 365,” this might make the perfect New Year’s project.

3) Brush Footwear - Haiti Project
Brush Footwear fuses traditional art with the art of fashion, and now, they’re donating a large set of Canvas Shoes to Haiti. The shoes are being painted by kids from the community before being sent off – some were painted and auctioned by members of the Pittsburgh Penguins. Check out this great cause.

1) NY Creative Interns
If you’re a creative in the big city looking for work, this newly formed group is here to enable you to find internships, mentors, and inspiration through networking and meetups. Head to their kickoff event on December 9th to mix with other creative students and professionals looking for interns (and win free giveaway). Reps from Buzzfeed, Time Inc, IFC/Sundance, and more will be in attendance, so RSVP here.

2) Visualizing.org
This is a brand new site created by Seed for creatives looking to make sense of complex issues through data and design. Aside from having a kickass gallery of Infographics from around the world, the site hosts design competitions (with hefty cash prizes) that you Behancers should jump on. Next up is a a challenge sponsored by TEDMED & GE: use public data to visualize relationship between green space and public health.

3) Fifty People One Question
These impossible to dislike short films explore human connections through people and place. The premise is obvious: “We asked the same question and it took us somewhere new.” The filmmakers visit city streets and get answers from a diverse group of people, asking them questions like “What do you wish would happen by the end of today.” We highly recommend this ongoing social experiment.
