48 hrs Easy poster contest winner gets $25 via paypal

Thanks for the effort guys. I am glad you got the idea. Don't modify anything. I will only ask you to change something if you win. However, I always like to provide feedback.

Intayke: thanks for the try. If you win, I will ask you to remove the black squares and replace them with red ones. I like how you wrote world class proteins diagonally. I like yours the best so far.

Neil: thanks for giving it a try. Looks good. If you win I will ask you to replace the black squares with white, and will also ask you to use a thicker font for world class proteins.

arabsquad: look forward to your entry.

If anyone else wants to give this a go, try something a little more creative. For example use some rounded squares, or circles, or use a mirror effect, or drop shadow or whatever. I still need 3 or 4 images on every line. You DON'T have to use squares. It can even be without squares but simply have something to separate the logo and the slogan.

I want to wrap this up today. Time on the screen is 2.52pm. I will wait until time on the screen says 2.00am which is when I must end this (so another 11-12 hrs from now only)

Some feedback:

Intayke: thanks for the new one. I am sorry but I don't really like the star. Maybe it's just me coming from a communist country and that communist star brings back bad memories. lol I still like your first try better.

TDGraphics: Thanks for giving this a shot. I like your first entry. It's very clean and sticks to the basics: red and white colours. The only thing that I would change would be the colour of the font for world class proteins. I would make the text white on red. This would make it more visible. And perhaps (since I am big on visibility) I would use a bigger font and then write world on one line then class underneath and proteins underneath again (all in the same square though, still on an angle). I am not asking you to make these changes but I am just providing feedback. As for your second entry I don't really like the addition of black. I prefer to stick mainly with red and white.

 

here's what im planning to do .. i thought i'd start off by a smaller version first to see what you think , the bigger version can be made and with more boxes if wanted ..




thanks

 

Stay on Ill have those revsions in 10 min.

thanks [/QUOTE]

Thanks for the entry. It's quite pleasant. The only downside is the squares you used for world class proteins are not red enough. They look a little towards pink. I'm sure you can easily change the colour (make it more red) but I don't want to waste your time. Best to wait until all entries come in. I'm sure if you're the winner you can change it then.

TDGraphics: no hurry mate. the time at my end is 12.51pm so I will still be around.

 

im going offline now its too late 1:53 in the morning, got to be up at 8:00 , just so you know i wont be around until about 5:00 uk time tommorow going out painting and decorating 50 miles away at some bungalow so sorry if i dont reply quickly, have a nice day all neil.

 

BTW When are you ending this?

 

Thanks TD. I will be ending this in about 9 hours starting from the time of this post.

And regarding feedback: your new try is much better although it still has a black outline for the actual logo. I like the bottom one (mainly red and white).

 

Whos in first?

 

I would say yours and arabsquad. I will probably ask one of you to add some small changes once I pick the winner. I am willing to pay a little extra for the small changes though.

For example arabsquad needs to make the red background darker red (looks a bnit faded now) and you (TD) would need to use a bolder/wider font for world class proteins.

 

Entry 3 Pattern Sample

 

From my point of view... When a beveled image is printed it takes away from the contentof the poster. Looks like too much almost. Key to advertising is simple yet effective.

 

It isn't beveled. I never use bevel for ANYTHING.
Also, my first entry was nice and simple, but arabsquad started to take it further, so I followed.

iNTaYke: thanks for making my decision harder What I really love in your latest submission is the shade of red for world class proteins. The only drawback is you added some grey which I guess is OK, but I think I prefer mainly red and white.

And this is the part that bugs me the most: I don't want to waste your time guys so please don't do changes unless you're ok with that. Because in the end there will only be one winner. At the same time I do feel like I owe to give you some feedback. So me providing feedback does not mean I expect you to do changes.

 

TD I am sorry but I am not sure what you're trying with this. Please keep in mind I am not a designer so that is why I don't get this one. Are you tring to show me an example with the bigger logo in the middle?
