Howdy community!
I am looking for something rather wild and silly.
My son turns 13 on July 22, and we’re getting him his first real smart watch (Samsung Galaxy 5). His father thinks it would be hilarious to set it up with the most gawdy, busy, wild looking watch face possible. So, my challenge to those interested is creating such an atrocity. Show me what you got! As contests go, I would happily Venmo the winner $50! - I don’t have any other platform so that’d have to be how payment is sent.
The rules:
He’s a kid, so keep it clean. He will not be getting a premium Facer account, but I will set a basic/free one up for him prior to the reveal. He will want to be able to tell time and know his steps…he often brags how many more he puts in than me…he also has a weird obsession with the temperature outside and will often check the weather multiple times a day (he hangs out with his grandpa a lot). His favorite color is CYAN, he loves sports - particularly the Seattle football and baseball teams, but also plays football, baseball, and as a goalie in soccer. His nickname is “giggles” as he loves to giggle as he runs kids down on the field. His favorite number is 24. He also enjoys major sporting games on his console such as Madden, MLB the Show, and FIFA. I’m not asking for any specific logos and such that would get it banned…just as interests of his. His initials are same as mine “J.C.” First name John…hopefully that gets you started, but certainly don’t hold back on your creation.
All entries should be posted in this thread if you are interested. The busier, crazier, gawd-ier (?) the better. I’ll choose a winner on the evening of July 21st as I download it to his watch and do a big reveal for him on his big day (the 22nd). I’ll let him view all submissions afterwards and pick his favorite as well of course (no way I could know what really captures his fancy). I’ll post one of my own as well - not to worry, I won’t be eligible to ‘win’.
Have fun, get wild, and I can’t to see what you amazing designers can come up with! Good luck!

Since he is going to be a teenager, what teen doesn’t like a video game.

Oh now that is also very cool! He’d probably wear that one pretty regularly.

Only a couple more days friends… $50 on the line for those of you looking for a commission. Winner takes all via VENMO. I’m really doing this to inspire you all, let’s see what ya got!
Congrats tom.vannes! You’re face won the contest. DM me if you would like to collect your prize. I just need to know where to send it. I appreciate the hard work you put into that watch, it looks great. They all did! I also love your submission because of the animations that are his team colors! Well done and thank you! We’ll post a wrist selfie when he sees it.

Thank you!
Please spend it together with JC in his favourite restaurant or on something he has been saving for. If you like in my name. I am not in it for any prize money, besides I think it would be against Facer Terms of Service because it could suggest a commercial purpose - just being careful…

Oh, that’s kind of sad we can’t do a contest with a prize, but thank you. And I appreciate you’re custom face…he’s going to love it. He’ll probably spend it on watch faces

I’ve had people who wanted to pay me for making custom watchfaces for them. I’ve always ask them to donate the money they would give me to a local animal shelter near them.

Beautiful. We’re a dog family too. Mine is a bit larger.

I would say a bit taller. Mine is mix between a Basset Hound and a Britney Spaniel. She has the shape and the size of a small Basset including the ears. But she has the Spaniel hair and face. She weighs in around 30 - 35 pounds.

Ya just a bit, he is a bernese mountain dog/leonburger - and about 110 lbs. He has a high herding drive, rescued from a barn in Eastern Washington. He’s been the weirdest dog we’ve ever had, likes snuggles, dislikes baths.
