Frame Package Contest Q&A's

[C�borg]

Just my attempt to save my self some long upload times cause of my 28.8. Do the people at AGD have photoshop? If so what version, and could I send in an action instead of the full picture, I'd reatehr send a 1-2k file rather than a 2.9mb file.

If not I guess I can wait around for about twenty minutes or so.

Why not have the image SUBMITTED in 72 dpi - the one I did was only 200k or so...

Then you could have the winner ftp the winning image that will probably be 10mb or more for a good tif.

shartley,

I don't like the following condition:

All entries become the property of AGD upon submission.

If AGD doesn't use a design I come up with, I think I should still have rights to it in case I wanted to use it or aspects of it in any future designs I may produce. As someone who makes his living in design and graphics, signing away unused intellectual property is bad business. I don't mind giving up rights to an implemented design, but having my work shelved and then being made inaccessable to me in the future seems unnecessary.

This is a question more for Tom than for anyone else.

I was kinda hoping we could get a good clear decent res picture of the grip with the Dye's on it. All the pics like that you have up here so far are with the orignal cruppy grips, not the Dye wrap arounds.

It would make this a little easier :-)

Sharley,
I know the frame comes with Dye sticky grips, and it would be appropriate to put the dye logo somewhere on the package. So, does AGD have permission to do that. Also, in accordance with your rules, if they do have permission, would it break your rules to put it on the design because we did not create the logo?

Riotz, as shartley said earlier the rules cant be bent. If you dont like them then dont enter the contest. Simple question, Simple solution.

I agree with Thordic. We need some good quality images of the final product to work with. A 72 dpi image will never be as good as a 300 dpi image. Even if you increase the res and sharpen the image. Will it be possible to get these images for us to play with. If you want great quality entries, you need to provide us with great quality images.

Riotz:
Good points. But it is common practice when submitting ANY work to companies, even pictures, that by doing so, you are giving up all rights to the subject matter.

And I think you are missing the point of the contest, it is not intended for Professionals. We do not exclude Professionals, but I would think that they would exclude themselves out of good form. But that is a personal decision.

As was stated, the rules are the rules. And you are free to not enter the contest. I personally would not have a problem with that. But I will NOT change the rules on that point. Sorry.

SuperG:
(Added later: Tom does not want them, and for the same reasons as my ones here.) I would advise against it, since this is NOT a DYE product, but an AGD one. And as for being against the rules because you did not create the logo... actually the rules cover that.. it is alright.

As for the issue about quality images

[cphilip]

I am staying out as I do have too much expertise and resources at my disposal. Wouldn't be fair.

(And I would then be real embarrassed not to win! )

Since Webbie is entering, I don't think any other "professionals" should be reccomended to bow out. Webbie could easily be considered a "professional"

Also, considering that AGD wants the best logo possible, whoever does the best possible work should win. AGD deserves the best logo anyone could create, professional or amateur. I'm sure there are non-professionals out there who have a huge amount of graphics experience, and professionals who have simply taught themselves. Getting paid to do something doesn't always mean you are good at it. Look at the Mets :-)

Naw I think Webby situation is different. I believe he is an amateur at Graphics Design. But...

I am at a University that is supported by Tax Payers and I have all kinds of design and graphics capabilities at my disposal. So even though I am not a Graphics Designer by profession it could be construed that I took advantage of these and used them to produce something for this. And boy howdy could I! So I will just sit this one out and let you guys play with it.

Im entering because I want AGD to have the best packaging possible. That may or may not be from me. If I win - I will give the RT Pro to the runner up. Please dont think because you have some experiance you should bow out. AGD needs something clean and good looking - vs amature with lots of lens flairs, 6 typfaces, and 32 different colors... Tom wanted the best of what AO has to offer - that includes all of you...
