Shatnerball FLyEr and Ad Contest!!!

[AGD]

AO Army,

Once again I turn to your huge combined tallent to come up with cool stuff and help a needy charity. We need a full page add that can also be used as a flyer for the event so its CONTEST TIME!!

We need you to come up with an 8.5" wide by 11" tall add layout in 150 DPI. You can use pictures of shatner and friends from the Celebrity Paintball website or others if they are legal to do so. It needs to show off the theme "Mobster Mash" with pin stripe suits, tough guys and hot babes (no cops).

Post your entries here in LOW-RES not more than 600 pixels wide. Our crack team of judges will pick a winner.

The winner receives a 500 dollar shopping spree on the AGD store!!!

All entries become the property of Celebrity Paintball, we reserve the right to change the rules at any time for any reason. You can enter more than once. Themes are expected to be similar so no *****ing about copycat ideas we will lean toward the first concept when judging so come up with something creative!

Contest ends on May 12th so have at it!!!

Thanks

"The Don"

[Digits]

So is this a big game type event, or a speedball event?

[edweird]

Its considdered a "Big Game" event

[SCpoloRicker]

TK,

I work for a marketing firm in CA. I'm actually not an artist, but I have several on staff.

Are you open to a professional organization doing this?

It would be "pro-bono", but I'd still like the $500 spree :)

I would be directing the creative, someone else will do the work.

let me know

Ricker

[Thermus]

Bah, I wish I still had photoshop. I will try it with PSP, but I have never used it before. 500 sounds REALLY nice right now.

[Jet-Xino]

Could we get a list of the big 3-4 Captains for this year? I assume Tom and Shatner and Mancow again? Is there a 4th? A list dates or any other important information you would like to see on there would also be helpfull. I'll get to work.

[Paintball_4_Fun]

I found this

[graycie]

i ended up doing this on word since i was up doing a paper anyway, and photoshop just frustrates the heck out of me especially in the wee hours of the morning. i'm not an artist so no fancy backgrounds,colors, or pictures, but that can all ways be added later. but you get the idea of a newspaper front page/headline type of deal.

[WenULiVeUdiE]

Ill have two in by late tonight. Some of these look great!

[Patron God of Pirates]

Here is my go->

[RenagadeOfFunk]

I like that post but I edited it a little...

[USAF-Flyboy with a Mag]

Great submitions guys!!! Only thing that is missing is the BABE!!!!!!!!!!

[The Frymarker]

[252]

[AGD]

WOW! They are looking great so far!! Mancow's official nickname is
Mancow "Scarface" Muller for the adds.

Thanks!!

AGD

[Jet-Xino]

Ahh, Thanks for the info on Mancow was wondering what was the official nickname. I'll update those quick.

[TraXeR]

It needs to show off the theme "Mobster Mash" with pin stripe suits, tough guys and hot babes (no cops).

I all seriousness, is it ok if we use Clare for the so called 'hot babes'? I don't wanna cross anyone or get in trouble. I just figure it will work better to have someone in the paintball scene and possibly going than some random girl who just 'fits the look'.

[AGD]

Sure you can use Clare she it going to be one of my "offical" babes!

Trina are you on deck for this too?? :)

[DementedChild]

Here is my first idea....

http://www.sfssquad.com/images/temp/mobster_mash.gif

EDIT:
- Ok...so I added a drop dead female in Greta Garbo and some more time references.
- Added rust to lower sign.
- Recreated wanted poster adding mancow.



it would be hilarious if you could get clare into that dance pic

[shivors]

Let me search for some of her pics.....I will see what I can do.

[RenagadeOfFunk]

...another touch up...

[shivors]

Ok.. Clare is in...Greta Garbo is out. Scroll up to see.

I will need to redo some shadowing but there ya go.

[cletus]

um Renegade, I think they want something original :rolleyes:

[RenagadeOfFunk]

[Jet-Xino]

Babe.

http://www.the-red-army.com/images/clare.jpg

[RenagadeOfFunk]

jet...make her a little smaller...(i know it hurts :p )...and make the horse logo larger...since its really for them anyways...

[Jet-Xino]

SMALLER!? (Yeah I was kinda thinking that too.). I'll get around to updating that in a bit.

[Voloo]

well this is my first time posting at this forum...but when i saw the $500 shopping spree up for grabs... I am in... My picture is a little big so i decided to leave a link to it...? is that okay? If you want it smaller just say and I can scale it down no problem... Well here is my entry so far...whipped this baby up at like 3 in the morning so the first try wont be so good but whatever for now... (might take a while to load - sorry)

http://www.freewebs.com/asdf1/

[Trina]

[shivors]

[The Action Figure]

[RenagadeOfFunk]

yeah I dont see any mobsters
...exactly... ;)

[Trina]

BTW Voloo, where's Tom Kaye and Mancow?? Like one on the left...one on the right... ;)

[doc_Zox]

ummm...

has anyone ever heard of copyright?

ya can't just steal a picture cause you want it

[tyrion2323]

Why the heck are these random pictures of bikini girls on the mobster posters? Weak.

Be ORIGINAL.....

[Voloo]

yea i actually checked all my pics....the 2 mobsters on the right and left are my screen shots...the guy in the middle was free to use (i emailed the web master of the site i got it from) ... the color pic is off celeberty paintball.com and ADG said we could use it... and the chicks are Clare...the official babe of the contest... So i think my poster is all legal

[The Action Figure]

Why the heck are these random pictures of bikini girls on the mobster posters? Weak.

ummmmmm. there fine with me :D :D :D :D :D :D

[Moo00]

ummmmmm. there fine with me :D :D :D :D :D :D

[shivors]

Public domain. It's a good thing.

[SpringFlingYing]

Where are you guys getting the captains' pictures?

[shivors]

Google. Google. Google. Google. Google. Google.

[Voloo]

Google is awsome :)

[richie]

I could not fit any more than just the names of tom,william and mancow in my ad.But,beauty sells and well,let's just face it,shatner ain't pretty.So,being how I have no fancy photo programs,this is all I could muster up.

[The Action Figure]

Id rather look at clare and her amazing hotness, than tom kaye or shatner, sorry tom nothing personal :D :D ;)

[coolcatpete]

I do I get the red X off thanks.

Here's another of the tire of the Ford Model A

http://www.grip-me.com/gripmepics/shatner4.jpg


did u notice she is hiding the frame and the valve with the hat? ut oh!

[The Frymarker]

Yeah the marker is in it's begining stages and needs to be completed, there isn't a trigger on it either. And I don't have the internals for it yet, piece by piece though.

I hope I can have it finished by Shatnerball.

[OhMyAMoose]

Here is my try..... it looks really crappy at this low quality....

Note: These are not totally perfect. There are a few little things that can be fixed, if needed. I will also be posting a few different versions of this flyer.

THINGS I NEED TO CHANGE ON ALL OF MY FLYERS... I SPELLED "JOLIET" WRONG AND I NEED TO CHANGE "EXTREME" TO "XTREME" These are easy changes to make.... thanks!

http://img20.photobucket.com/albums/v61/ohmyamoose/shatnerballgood.jpg

[OhMyAMoose]

here is another... a different background color...

Here's my last one :)


http://www.grip-me.com/gripmepics/me2.jpg

[Voloo]

here is a larger version of my poster ... (the thing in the bottom right about the hunt101.com is obviously not part of my poster)

http://www.hunt101.com/img/153273.jpg

should i put something else on the bottom instead of 2 clares or is 2 clares good?

[The Action Figure]

2 clare = very good

[Voloo]

shes hot and her nice guns ( ;) ) points at where the place is :)

[The Action Figure]

oh yeah i love thos xmags :D

[OhMyAMoose]

If Tom (or someone else) would post some high res pictures I believe these flyers would look a lot better. We have to use a lot of small pictures now and after you make them bigger they lose quality. I guess it is a little late now.

[OhMyAMoose]

Here is another...

just wondering when they are going to actually choose the winner??? :confused:
Yes, this would be nice to know.

[OhMyAMoose]

I switched the "Mobster Mash" and "Shatnerball III" around. I can switch around the text for all my previous flyers if needed.

http://img20.photobucket.com/albums/v61/ohmyamoose/shatnerball14.jpg

[guygio]

my killer flyer

[shivors]

Ummm...so what gives? Are they choosing a winner today or did they forget about us?

[GSKRAP]

if i win, i will flip out. i never won anything of this magnitude and i think i might have a chance. ill probably have some kind of fit and be unable to claim my prize...

[coolcatpete]

nice guy looks nice
Pete

[Amea]

I think Shivors or Patron has the best chance, IMO... They look like they spent the most time on them. The ideas are good though, I know mine got wrecked. lol.

[GSKRAP]

mine took me a pretty long time, but maybe thats just because im not that good with photoshop :P

[RenagadeOfFunk]

Ummm...so what gives? Are they choosing a winner today or did they forget about us?


...no,.... right now they are shaking their heads and wondering why they asked us... ;)

By The Way, OhMyAMoose
its quality not quantity...

[shivors]

Had to do one final edit....had the wrong revision up with the wrong nickname for Mancow.

[baka]

Here's mine. I can add or subtract stuff if need be by agd.

[AGD]

Guys contest ends at midnight. It will take many days to decide on the winner since I have to confer with a lot of peeps on this. Don't make small changes and keep submitting, we are looking for original concepts and will have you tweak it in later.

Thanks!!

many days... how many is "many?" haha, its all good.

[Voloo]

thats actually what i was thinking...but they did say they were only looking for "ideas and concepts" so they may just take a crappy poster with a good idea behind it and make it better themselves... I dont know... thats just my guess
