The theme "Oddity" addresses "What makes each of us unique and yet connects us all is our rarity. We are at odds when faced with challenges of combining mere thoughts into visual constructs that require elicit response. To engage our creative design skills and oddity into a strategy, a message of cohesiveness and most times a form of transaction."
