    Hey guys,

    I need a postcard designed. I want a simple and corporate design that is highly visible. Something that can make an impact so to speak.

    Requirements:

    Size (when printed): 99mmx210mm

    Colours: red and white only. You can use effects that are in colour since it will be printed in full colour but I want to stick mainly with RED and WHITE

    Orientation: landscape

    Text (needs to go on the card):

    -needs to have my logo displayed largely. The logo can be downloaded from here: http://www.sendspace.com/file/9922ff

    -under the logo it must say in big bold letters: World Class Proteins

    -and somewhere at the botom it must say: Supplied by some of the world's largest and most technologically advanced whey protein manufacturers

    For background: Please make sure you use red and the image of a globe to give this idea of world class. Also make sure my logo appears in white the same as in the large image below.

    I have attached a couple of photos to give an idea of what I am after. The first photo looks good but the world class proteins appears too small, in the second photo the world class proteins looks good but there is no globe for the background. You can also use the globe from the logo as part of the background.

    Any questions please ask and please post here and not via pm.

    Hmm...I wonder why no one is entering. Looks like I may have to close this one due to lack of entries.

    Guys, let me first of all say thank you for considering this. Second of all if NightVision and DacianPrince submit an entry I guarantee this contest will have a winner (even if just NightVision and DacianPrince are the only ones that enter).
    NightVision is a seasoned and great designer and looks like DacianPrince is one of them new kids on the block who has potential.
    I look forward to your entries.

    Just one question proteindude.
    Are you sure you gave me the right dimensions?
    I gave it a 3mm bleed just incase but it looks more like a book mark other then a postcard

    ^^I definitely gave you the right dimensions. Maybe all you need to do is put it in a landscape format and not a portrait one.

    Dacian, thanks mate. Looks ok but it could look better. It looks a little like too much to read at once. I understand the idea with the stars but it's a touch too much so get rid of the stars. Also the red outline is a bit too thick so please see if you revert back to the original one. World class proteins needs to appear bigger so in order to do that you may need to reduce the size of the logo. Oh yeah, and that globe you used it's not really appropriate. The globe looks more like an old explorer's globe and would be suitable for antique products and I sell modern products so see if you can give the globe in the background a modern look.

    stardesigns: thanks for the entry. It looks very well balanced and that is a very pleasant concept. I don't like the fact you changed my logo by removeing the world class proteins from the top. I appreciate what you are trying to do but I would still like my logo to appear the way it is. I really like how you wrote world class proteins at the top but I think it could be slightly bigger or the logo could be bigger. Also in regards to the logo I prefer to have it in its original colour. Overall, a very pleasant concept.

    NP. The contest will definitely run in the "morning" meaning Australia time which I understand you're also based in Australia. Come to think about it I'll also need to get some rest in the next few minutes so guys if you enter this contest I won't be around for a few hours to provide feedback.

    I'd say right now you're definitely in the lead even though I would require some alterations. But things can change especially with NightVision around.

    NightVision: great to see you enter one of my contests again. I really like the background you chose: it is very simple and yet very stylish. Here's what I think: I still want my original logo to appear as it is with world class proteins written on top of the logo. I would also like it if you could incorporate a globe into the background. Also you wrote world class protein. Should be proteins (plural). Make this World class proteins in a bigger wider/bolder font and perhaps write it on different lines. Perhaps world and class can be on one line and then proteins can be underneath. The best example I can give you is something similar to the one here.
    [​IMG]

    I also want to thank you and Dacian and stardesigns for paying attention and making my background mainly red.

    I'm off to bed now but knowing my newborn, she'll probably wake me up in a few hours so I may come back in a few hours and if not, I will definitely be back in the morning (Australia time).

    NightVision: thanks for the new one but I'm sorry to say it I think it's step back somehow. I am hoping you won't throw in the hat and I hope you'll try again. The change to the background isn't working for me. I really like the first background. Somehow this second one doesn't seem to work. Perhaps because it's got Africa in the background and no company in Africa manufactures these proteins I sell. I can't put my finger on it but I liked the first background better. Also the world class proteins appears a little squashed in somehow. Perhaps use a different font? The bottom border looks really good. I felt you were really close with the first one and it just needed some small alterations so perhaps you can give it one more try? Even if you decide not to use the globe and just have the first background from the first submission.

    stardesigns, thanks mate but I like the first one better. This new one doesn't seem to match somehow. The logo looks nice and clean but that new globe doesn't seem to match at all. It's probably too obvious and should be faint and part of the background. I also like much better how you positioned world class proteins in the first submission. I'm sorry if I sound confusing but I think the main reason I like your first one better is because this second one has a bit too much of a web2 look for my liking.
