Design By Humans and Blizzard Entertainment Select the Diablo III® Design Winners
Chico, Ca (PRWEB) December 19, 2013 -- Design By Humans is pleased to announce the winners of the Diablo® III T-shirt design contest which ran from August 12 – October 21. Creative directors at Design By Humans and Blizzard Entertainment selected the top five designs from over 700 fan submissions, which then split more than $12,000 in cash and prizes. All five special edition designs are now available for purchase at DesignByHumans.com.
The contest drew 703 submissions from artists around the globe who were tasked with creating a T-shirt design inspired by one of the demons, angels, or character classes that appear in the wildly popular Diablo III video game. The result was a highly competitive contest that produced some of the best artwork on Design By Humans since its launch in 2007. The winning entries came from across the globe, emerging from Russia, the United States, and the Philippines.

Each shirt is professionally printed with vibrant inks on durable soft cotton shirts. These special edition Diablo III shirts are only $24 each, and if you want to pick up the entire collection, you can get them exclusively on the Design By Humans website. All of the winning Diablo III designs are also available as phones cases for iPhones and Galaxy s4.
