$10 Simple Postcard design

Discussion in 'Design Contests' started by Snapple, Mar 14, 2007.

    $10 will go to the winner via PayPal. Contest will end in 5 days (March 12th)

    I am looking for a design for the front of a postcard only. Must use high resolution images that I can take to a printer for a 6" x 11" postcards.

    I would like to have a photo of a residential kitchen floor (ceramic tile and grout) that the floor is VERY clean. On the floor is a plate of spaghetti without the plate. The food must look like it is actually sitting on the floor. Next to it is a knife, fork, spoon, maybe a glass of wine.

    *Tag line for now on the post card is "A Floor So CLEAN you can EAT off it"

    *Must be a VERY CLEAN floor and it must be a tile and grout floor, not wood or stone.

    *The picture does or does not have to show cabinets and such but the plate must be scaled to the floor.

    I will take substitutes for the food on the floor but would like spaghetti.

    Winner has a chance to further design a lot more postcards (10-30) for me if they wish.

    Good luck and thank you.:)

    Heres my first version. If I am chosen as the winner, you will receive the source file at 300 dpi and one in 72 dpi. Just clarifying. :)

    Alneo, not bad but I would like more of an higher view looking down then what you have. Not liking the type or pattern of floor either. I would like to see a 12" x12" floor tile or something.

    For correct place setting blade of knife should face in the opposite direction, I believe. Check it with an ettiquette book.

    Very nice. I like the tile a lot better. Can the angle be not directly over the top, but not as low as your other one.

    If it is directly over the top, I would like to see a higher view with more tile showing and a smaller plate of spaghetti. Right now the spaghetti overwhelms the goal of the postcard.

    Also, the spaghetti looks a little fake sitting on the floor. It may be that it is so close and a view further away may change that.

    Thanks though, it is moving in the right direction.

    Smyrl, LOL. I believe you are right. And a real Italian needs a spoon as well.

    LOL, If I find winning and stunning entry has already been posted in any contest, I never try to enter in that particular contest until I am confident that I can design better than existing entries. Good luck. :)

    ok, Heres a version with the revisions. I am working on the angle that you wanted. The knife and the fork are switched. ;)

    Not that I REALLY care about the whole fork and knife thing, but the fork goes on the left and the blade or sharp part of the knife should face the plate is what Smyrl was saying. Don't worry about that.

    The second pic you had was scaled fine but Iwould like to see more tiles in the pic. The new design now looks like a mini plate on a LARGE tile. I hope I explained it correctly, if not let me know.
