[Jake21]

Price Bumped up to $40!


***72 Hour Contest***
Ends @ 1:35 AM CST (-6 GMT) June 18th.
--------------------------------------------------
Here's a contest I thought might entertain a few of you.
Sponsored by the Terrorist Fist Jab Network (http://www.terroristfistjab.net) (coming soon) :D

Details:
I'd like your average, typical sized Wordpress banner with Two "Terrorists" fist bumping. Example here (http://www1.istockphoto.com/file_thumbview_approve/760147/2/istockphoto_760147_punch_fists.jpg) and here (http://hometown.aol.com/yankeediva3347/images/fist%20bump.jpg).

For your consideration:
Banner will show two "Terrorists" caught in the action, exchanging a congratulatory terrorist fist jab, otherwise known as a fist bump.

Couple points of interest:

Cartoon-ish caricature appeal desired. Here's a few examples. 1 (http://www.quarehawk.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/borat_caricature1.jpg) 2 (http://www.drawmyface.co.uk/images/caricatures/famous/johnny-depp-caricature.jpg) 3 (http://www.olsen-twins-news.com/newsimages/may2005/caricature.jpg)
Middle-Eastern "terrorists" ideal but I'm open to other ideas.
Controversial depictions are great, even welcomed (remember this is satire, not intending to be racist)
Text on the banner reading "Terrorist Fist Jab"


$40 to the best looking design!


Any questions, please PM me. Have fun and I can't wait to see what you can come up with!

Thanks,
Jake

any particular look you want for the terrorists? IRA or al quaeda or counterstrike?

Yay, a bit of interest.. Thank you, l3fty! I was thinking more along the lines of al qaeda

this is just a really rough concept, to see if you like the idea.

Hey l3fty, thanks a lot for your contribution!
I think you have a very good idea of what I'm looking for. The terrorists are perfect. I also like the text but if you could add a few more renditions later with different fonts that would be great in helping me decide. Could use a little more detail for the characters, perhaps a little more color and some smoothing of rough areas. Can you add a desert backdrop with an oasis in the distance? Maybe also a camel a few yards behind.

Really like the look so far! :)

Thanks

umm.... Middle Eastern? Are you stereotyping terrorists as Middle Easterners? You should be ashamed.
I discourage participation in this contest because it supports a bad cause.

No, I'm not. I'm parodying Fox news' stereotypical views on exactly what you've just accused me of. This is a satire website that will be exploiting the unfair and unbalanced standard of that network. As such, I think a very racially charged banner would succinctly get the idea across.

I personally have nothing against middle eastern people and, as a matter of fact, have a few friends from that part of the world.

No problem :) I just want to make it clear that I am in no way racist.
