again, thanks for the entries so far, DCStudio and waiz86 are on the right track but not quite there yet. Please no cartoon lobsters, prawns etc not what we are after. contest still open and looking for more entries.
Concept 01: but i must say that picture of the sea i have could be to small for 200cm x 100cm.... (have about 3000x2000pix300dpi) I would have to buy picture at least for 15$ so... at this moment i'm not ready to do it. My other concepts. Effective but they need a lot of time to create : 2nd. Diver underwater grabbing knife and fork and staring at plate with delicious seafood on it. 3rd. Hardest to do: Diver isolated on white background sitting at the table in his full costiume. On the table are plates with delicious seafood. & Funny text below image In this contest my concepts are free to use by others competitors. I must finally rest couple of hours so you can use them if you have proper pictures or drawing talent. My favourites so far: works of fujimoto & dc studio - nice work guys. dc studio- additionaly you have wonderful templates to show your work. fujimoto- oje9aosmemdk8wyzzvfk.jpg - smart,great design for logo. Best Regards!
My initial concepts: 1) 2) This is just an initial concept, to see is im going in the right direction. Would you like some additional information added, for example due to the size of the artwork i could easily add postal address, stylized map, opening times etc the dark area at the bottom. As this is for a large sign (2m x 1m) It is 100% vector - the images behind the text are vector sketches that can be scaled to any size, NOT bitmap images (such as photos) that would look poor when enlarged. The second example uses a sketch based off a view from the restaurant, if you have any other reasonable quality photos that you would like to see recreated please PM them to me. I have experience designing for large scale print and can provide the finished artwork in whatever format your sign printing company needs. For the benefit of yourself and other designers you may want to check what these requirements are and post them here, as designs made in the wrong format may be unsuitable. I look forward to your feedback.
I would like to thank everybody for their entries. I guess not an easy contest, but we did not really know either what we wanted, at least not in detail. Anyway we still have not a clear design winner but the one we like the most and can work with to finalise is from DCStudio, his first design, almost there and with a little more work will be great for us. I have sent him/her a pm with a view to finish the design and of course receive the $120 Thanks again to all, some good designs here.....Michael
but that is just http://www.photofunia.com/ work....... i wish to tell you .. its not even made in photo shop its a photo manipulation. i can do any style if you want..
I like these 2 entries, and DC studio's entry is done in Photofunia itself! But the design is from him, and the look for original is made from that site. Just a suggestion!
