PREFACE:

This competition will be the broadest available in the Photomode Competitions area.

1) For each competition, I will pick and post the image to be used.
2) There must be some text used in your design.
3) After the duration of the competition, I will pick a 1st, 2nd and 3rd place and give and explanation of why each one was chosen - their good parts and not so good parts. I guess you could say that I will be the editor at the agency, and each time you bring me a project, you are there to impress me and the client.

As to what you can do with the image? It will be up to you how you wish to use it - you will have complete artistic licence. You could:

  • Remove the car from the background.
  • Use the entire image.
  • Use part of the image.
  • Make it a B&W
  • Make it look like a painting.
  • Change the color of the car.
  • Ad graphics or ground effects to the car.
  • ... it is YOUR choice.
Some of the things you could create are:
  • Mag cover
  • Advertisement - for WHATEVER!
  • CD Label
  • CD Cover Art - the square part on the front of the jewel case
  • DVD Cover
  • Wallpaper
  • Billboard
  • News Article
  • Business Logo or Business Cards
  • Movie Poster
  • ... and so on, and so on ...
Be creative. Explore new ideas on how to use your design tool of choice.

______________________________________________________________

What I will be looking for in your designs are below and will be rated on a 1 - 5 scale. 1=not so good | 5=excelent

  • Good composition - the overall layout.
  • Font use
  • Originality
  • Overall appeal
  • Technical proficiency - are all the bad parts of the image removed or "smoothed" out. Like shading lines, polygonal wheel-wells, wheels and tires, color and brightness balance. All the things in GT4 that make the cars NOT look as real as they could.
  • Sellability / Usability - Will the client use it. Because, trust me on this, not even a GREAT design is always usable by the client.
With this scoring system, your design could have a max score of 30.

______________________________________________________________

The end result should be something (that if you really were a designer) you would put in your portfolio.

This competition is designed to help you grow in your creative design process, as well as the use of your "tools" - Photoshop, Paintshop Pro or the like.

HAVE FUN. Impress me, others, and most of all ... yourself.

wow ... this is a tough one
good to see you back into hosting compo 👍
 
Easy$$ you are so quick ... it seems you have lots of free time every Monday
and disappear every weekend
 
I only have dial-up at home right now. So its pretty much pointless for me to get online over the weekend.

And yes Monday's are usualy pretty slow for me so I have plenty of time to do as I please :)
 
I see ... where do you get those japanese text?
because I don't see them from their website
did you get them from Option Magazine or something?

good to see the compo ends on 25th
think I have enough time to be more creative on this

I wish I could submit something for this to help you out some
They are not to "... help me out". The contests are designed to help make you better designers by stretching your design limits and providing a bit of structure.

It is all for my peeps at GTP!
