Graphic Design Needed

[lanikai]

In my sudden leave of absence from the forum for a little over a month .. I failed to finish the details of the photo contest..

To give the bragging rights to the winners.. it was hard work that has earned them a permanant addition to their sigs..

"Best of the Best" Photog 2009

So to make this interesting and enjoy more commeraderie... I will invite all the Communities graphic artist to participate.

There were 3 divisions:

Camera phone

Novice Division

Expert Division

We need the first place Trophies for each division.

The "Runner up" for each division

And for the Expert division.. a Third Place Trophy for that sig.. since it was so highly competitve and hours of work had been put into the images.. it could of gone either of 3 ways.. imo

I'll give last call for entries on or around 8-29-2009..

so if you are a graphic artist by trade or have some hidden talent that you would like to showcase...

Bring it !!!!

membership input will be welcomed... I will announce the judges.. (as soon as I inform them )

Remember this will be attached permanantly to the members sig (if they choose to do so)

It's the passion for watches that brings us here.. as a community.. so let's see the same energy here !!!

I hope we can have some fun with this..

Aloha~Cheers

I'll see what I can come up with, thinking of some concepts at the moment

[valerian]

Cool idea! I am no graphic artist (nor wannabee) but I love good design. Look forward to seeing those works!

Whats the prize?

[TeeJay]

All done... I tried to keep to a theme, simple, but representational and a bit fun, so I hope this is the kind of thing you had in mind

[lanikai]

keeping in mind men that "2009" needs to be incorporporated ..

and the art should be small enough to fit the members sig without taking up half a page.. reworking is allowed.

and the prize will be a glorious trip for 2 to Hawaii.... as son as I save up enough for the return trip..

I have a very nice IWC Vintage cream dial that has not been worn.. waiting for the winning entry..

No problem, it won't be hard to tweak and adjust the size

[ammandel]

I'm not gonna make a full set of them unless the design gets picked, because its just too much work.

Obviously, trophys and colour pallettes would differ for each place, #2 would be Silver, 3rd bronze etc

Lettering would change for each place obviously, and I'd come up with a tagline for each award. Expert #1 = "I'm the Super Shooter", Expert #2 = "Call me The View Finder". I dunno.. stuff like that.

I had a couple of other ideas too but since you are making this into a 'competition for the competition' I guess we should limit entries to 1 each.

[ammandel]

I've changed my mind, there was something niggling me about that last image. It was the reds..

This one is better:

Yeah, this is better I think.

[TeeJay]

Here's the revisions

[freddy333]

2 variations

[ammandel]

I'm really picky when it comes to the details; so I've made another amendment to my entry:

[ammandel]

We'r really looking for quality over quantity... the sig will give the members much earned bragging rights .. and richly deserved !!

Just back from vacation Lani, and I haven't been around to check this thread out. I'll see if I can put something together in the next few days.

[andreww]

Here is my submission. I thought that an obvious color scheme should be gold, silver and bronze to denote the 1st, 2nd and 3rd places. The categories are are easily identified by the camera icons. I wanted to give this thing a simple but elegant look that would be eye catching but not overpowering. Hope you like what I've come up with!
