Old suggestions 1 (Closed)

[casperamy]

Hey guys I have another couple of ideas for a contest.

1. I read alot. What about a book cover? You guys decide on the basic theme of the book and give some dimensions, maybe colors, maybe a title and we do our thing?

2. I also play alot of video games (a very bad habit might I add, wastes way too much of my time). What about the cover art for a PC game? This might be interesting because the work would be limited to a standard CD ROM case. Maybe even only the CD art itself (circular with the hole in the middle).

What do you think? I am sure I can come up with more if these are no good.

Few more suggestions, to easily determine creative individual.
> DC print advertisement i.e poster -this will need to be fullcolour.
> Web banner - animated
> News Ad - strictly greyscale or b&w
> transit advertising -i.e. buses, terminals, etc
> souvenirs

Wathathink???

I really like the web banner idea however I think it could be considered "commercial use" and I don't knwo how resurepus or the participants will feel about it...I would enter though, I love makign banners. Not hard but fun

[resurepus]

casperamy, I wish more publishing companies knew about DC that way we would have contests like that in paid contests section

geek, I wish we had money to pay for placing all that promotion matherials in the respectful media (nespapers, magazines, websites). But we should definitely consider the ideas as we grow! Another thing you missed is image to be printed on a t-shirt. When it becomes a little bit warmer we are definitely going to start this contest!

First of all, Hello!

What about a DC desktop wallpaper and/or a DC screen saver, which can be downloaded for free by anyone? These could be used for promotion purposes, virtually with no costs...

[jojomarie]

Hi dudi, actually there is currently a contest running for a screensaver, take a look and hope to see your entry soon. jojomarie

[krypt]

hey jojo ... so you mean that the screensaver that wins would be the one that goes to that section for people to download ....

reason : i can duplicate what i did for the most part but i only have it save as a .gif ....

[itsjunaid]

hi everybody
i was listenin to music when suddenly i thought why not hold a compitition for
a
band'z CD cover illustration design (an imaginary one).Or redo an existing cover for some album(metallica's, limp bizkit's,etc).

And another one is for a wallpaper for football world cup...or cricket world cup or anyother sports....

thx
bye

[Imagenesis]

I was thinking of that, I think it's a good idea however, most band cd covers have images of them, however a lot of albums are pretty abstract...Look to my new contest I guess

Also, I would hold the game cover contest too but where would you get images of the game? Most game cover have parts of screenshots or game charecters...

[derukureetsu]

Can't forget Easter can we? Or how about Mother's Day, Father's Day. :P

Also...when is DC's Anniversary? @.@ Maybe we can do something for that as well, like a mechanical cake. :P

how about creating a movie jacket for a dvd to rent in a video store

I agree, I would love to do this (since I already have and also since I am a student filmmaker).

[oxygen]

Hello,
I think that a windows application skin (DC theme of course) would be a nice idea and perhaps a promotion opportunity for "our" home --> A Windows Media Player or Winamp skin maybe?
Thanks

[dudi]

I'll vote for the DVD jacket of a specified movie. Of course, some still shots should be available for use.

[R32EEK]

I'm thinking.. a food box, something that would be fun to do, like some sort of little gummy snacks, or cookies shapes as things.


edit: Or maybe like a graffiti image, I'm good at those.

i agree

[ASchizoJekyl]

i think itd be really fun and cool to maybe make an entirely new ad for the ipod or someting and also maybe redesign the google homepage...just for kicks...

[DirectorSpence]

Any ideas in the works for a new contest? I'm patiently waiting for the next feat.

[Inertia]

Pretty new here so I hope you don't mind me posting a suggestion

Based off the 'Stop Animal Testing Contest' with a twist to bring it to oposing angle of why Animal testing has the potential of being good, although I realised that may have alot of morale implications for alot of people and changed the angle on my thought slightly.

So perhaps my suggestion really is a contest based on though pattern of how violence used by some animal rights extremists is just as wrong as forcing animals into experiments that will put them through alot of suffering.

Really just scattered thoughts, although I thought it might make a nice contest.

I was thinking of starting a contest with the suggestion of the movie DVD jacket. Do you have any particular favorites or an imaginary movie you would like to design one for?
