$30 Terrorist Fist Jab!! Wordpress Banner Contest

Discussion in 'Design Contests' started by Jake21, Jun 14, 2008.

    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 (coming soon) :D

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_vmQrTi3aM


    Details:
    I'd like your average, typical sized Wordpress banner with Two "Terrorists" fist bumping. Example here and here.

    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 2 3
    • 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

    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.

    understood now.

    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.
