Undead Ideas winners: The client killed it, Freepik resurrected it

You give everything for an idea.

You spend hours, days, nights, and even weekends.

You pour your soul into it.

But then one word from the client kills your dream:

REJECTED.

We know how it feels, and we believe that great ideas should not rest in the graveyard. They deserve a second chance. That’s why we launched #UndeadIdeas, where we took your client-rejected designs and brought them back to life.

What is #UndeadIdeas?

International Design Day, previously known as World Design Day, is celebrated every April 27th to commemorate the founding of the International Council of Design. This year, the theme is Peace. Love. Design!

Freepik #UndeadIdeas 2023 was our contribution to the celebration. We took the opportunity to resurrect your ideas and give them a second chance at life.   

Which designs won #UndeadIdeas?

#UndeadIdeas was amazing and we saw so many great submissions. Thank you! But only two of them could win the Jury’s Choice Award and People’s Choice prize.

Presenting…the winners of #UndeadIdeas
