Select your favourite sneaker model on www.zazzle.com/custom/shoes and check whether it is available in your size (in case you win).

Get creative and draw your own personal sneaker motif/print on a sheet of paper or create a motif with the help of your PC’s graphics programme. Please make sure that the motif contains at least one reference to the STABILO brand (e.g. the Schwan symbol, the colour red, “STABILO” lettering, outlines of STABILO products etc.) – other than that, the design is yours to create, exactly as you choose.

Design example (drawn by you or created on the PC):

Scan in the print design you’ve drawn and save it to your PC or alternatively, save the motif designed using the graphics programme on the PC.

Return to www.zazzle.com/custom/shoes and select the sneakers of your choice and design them just the way you want using the Sneaker Designer. In order to use your motif on the sneaker it must be uploaded to the Designer and adapted to fit – now your sneaker bears your own personal mark.

(If you want, you can save your own design directly to the zazzle website by registering there. Should you win, this also makes it easier for us when it comes to ordering the sneakers. This is however, by no means essential.
If you want to let other users buy the shoes you've created on zazzle, then tag the sneakers with "STABILO" or "toonity" – so they're easier to find via the search function.)

Example sneaker with example design in the zazzle Sneaker Designer:

Now go to the sneaker preview in the Sneaker Designer (under“item”or “show pair”) and save the different sneaker views as an image (.jpg) on your PC. . Using the cursor, go to each sneaker preview of your design and right click. Then select “save image under” and save the image to your PC. It’s probably best to save several views of the sneaker (from the front, the side etc.).

How to save a sneaker preview image to your PC:

Go to toonity.com and register there, then upload

a) the print motif you've drawn (containing at least one STABILO element)
b) and the pictures of the sneakers you designed on zazzle (front view, side view etc.)

and then saved to your PC under the menu point "MYWORK/MYDRAWINGS".

(Don’t forget to fill out a short description – why did you decide on this design and why does it remind you of STABILO).

Now select the Sneaker Design 2011 competition gallery and click on save.
