Each month when we put up a brief we try to walk the line between two meanings. We're inspired by dance, colour, movement and of course, shapes. Which way will you go?

Our next brief is a little more fun and directional. Are you a writer? photographer? musician? someone who doesn't do visuals? Then this is definitely a brief for you- remember it's not about being perfect and amazing we just want YOUR take on the brief.

Be sure to leave a comment on your favourite Beyond the Square submissions too. We're hoping to put on another art exhibition following the awesomeness of Sparkmylane last year so we're looking for your feedback. What are you waiting for? Hop to it! (sorry I couldn't resist...)
