    Billboard Design Contest!!!!!

    AO Artists,

    In a cunning marketing ploy we have snagged the roadside billboard 100 feet before you turn into the fairground for the Amateur Open!!

    EVERYONE that comes to the event will get an eyefull every day. With that said, I want my crack design team to come up with a killer layout for the thing and that means a contest! I'll give an RTpro to the winner.

    I am going to open up the contest to any kind of artwork since we are looking for ideas not finished images. I would expect that we will probably be using photographs etc.

    We will have you vote on the top 10 and then we will pick one to be the winner. There may be different considerations etc. in the way we must make the final decision. We will give more weight to snappy slogans than pics of players.

    It may be that a certain image, say a guy with a marker, is used in several submissions. If two adds are alike, we will go with the first submission.

    Usual rules apply, we can change the rules for any time for any reason. All submissions become the propery of AGD. You can not use anyone elses copywrited work. You must email your entries to [email protected]. DO NOT post your entries here, that will mean you just gave your ideas to the world and you get disqualified. We will setup an entries page with all the layouts for you to judge later. Contest will run for about 14 days or less, we have to have finished art in by June 1st.

    Do post questions here, I will asssign someone to answer your questions (Hexis and Synreal?)

    Layout specifics:
    set program image to 5" high and 11" wide
    Printer res. 300 dpi
    Final billboard is 5 foot high and 11 feet wide.

    Does the pic have to be colored? If it doesn't I can just draw it all out and then just snap a pic of it...

                    Re-vamping the AGD Logo to make it a little more modern would really get people thinking. People would see it and say,"Hey!! AGD re-did their logo......looks like they're moving ahead." When in fact AGD is far ahead of everyone else. Then there should be a couple of really nice looking Extreme's or SFL's and maybe an RT Pro on either side of the AGD Logo. It would show people that AGD is a company of innovation and is not stuck in the past and they are very much a presence in the technilogical field of paintball.

                    I'll see if I can do a little drawing. Let me know what you think.

                          Don't know if you have someone to make it yet Tom, but my family runs a nationwide sign company and would more than likely be capable of making the sign. Otherwise, I'll send a billboard design one way or the other. *drools at thought of another mag*

                            The easiest way to save a Photoshop file to a web safe format is to use the "Save for Web" item under the file menu, this will let you pick which format (gif, jpg, png) and quality you would like to export your file with.

                            Just a few points to think about when you start to work on designs:

                          • keep your layout simple, whoever looks at it will either driving or walking by and can't/won't focus on the billboard for more than a few seconds (limit the amount of verbage you display)

                          • make sure that any text you put into the design will be able to be read from afar, with ease (we don't want to cause pileups from people squinting at our ads)

                          • keep it clean
