DESIGN TIPS

DOS

DONTS

Stickers should portray strong emotions

that cater to everyday messaging
conversations between your friends.

Design something that has no relevance

to the messaging world.

Unveil your creativity and imagination by

designing your very own characters and
then creating a story around them
through stickers.

Add third party or stock imagery into your

sticker work.

Design something original. Plagiarised

sticker designs will immediately get
disqualified.

Copy the existing sticker designs from

Hike Limited or that of third party sources
such as Disney, Dreamworks , other
messaging apps etc.

Design minimal stickers with flat colours

with clear and legible text.

Use gradients or fancy fonts which are

unreadable.

Stickers that capture everyday emotions,

Indian lifestyle, culture, language, or
gestures.

Sticker designs that portray nudity,

criminal behaviour, vulgarity, sexuality,
racism or violence.

REMEMBER

Design stickers that are dierent from the existing Hike stickers. Add your own

personal flavour to them. Your imagination is the only limit.

Try to come up with everyday conversation scenarios and create your stickers around
them.
Make sure your entries have followed the design guidelines. They are there for making
your designs stand out.
