As Nintendo’s mascot, Mario is one of the most famous characters in video game history, and his image is commonly associated with video games. He has also inspired television shows, film, comics, and a line of licensed merchandise. Almost every kid in the world who owns a video game player must have played the game at least once.

Mario was originally portrayed as a two-dimensional sprite, but in later games he is shown as a three-dimensional, polygonal model. He is depicted as a portly plumber who lives in the fictional land of the Mushroom Kingdom with Luigi, his younger, taller brother, who is also a plumber.

Since his creation, Mario has established himself as a pop culture icon, having starred in numerous television shows, comic books, and in a feature film. He has appeared on lunch boxes, t-shirts, magazines, commercials, in candy form, on shampoo bottles, cereal, badges, and as a plush toy. It is beyond doubt that Mario has inspired many kids and artists. {src: wikipedia}

I’m sure you all remember Alex, the mastermind behind the awesome Tutorial ‘Retro Futuristic Typography‘ which was featured in many design blogs, tutorial websites and has gained widespread popularity among artists.

Well, he is back with another awesome article, but this time it is a Remixing Contest. This contest is something different from what we have seen in other design blogs until now. Its very simple and will help you learn and participate in a constructive manner.

This is also a new way of getting yourselves noticed by other budding artists from around the world as your works will get featured in the magazine which is being prepared as a part of his university project which will be showcased in an exhibition for everyone to view.
