    Hello - I have a ton of travel related images that I will need to have optimized and stylized over the next year. I am looking for 3-5 designers that I can work with on small projects that I will have throughout the year to take raw camera shots and optimize them, as well as add some style and watermark domains to the images. I am very open to style and creative ways of "marking" images to a domain, so be creative.

    In a sense, this contest is an interview. I have one image here:

    http://img184.imageshack.us/img184/3617/lincolncenterav0.jpg

    Play with this image, and watermark "NewYorkWebsite.com" (not my domain, just to use as an example), as well as somehow reflect the following caption within the finished product:

    "Lincoln Center is one of the world’s leading performing arts centers."​


    However you watermark and caption the image, the style should work with a variety of images that will be at a variety of angles and zooms.

    Please show off your skills either here or over PM, and also, let me know what you would charge to process 50 images in a similar fashion (if you prefer to PM me your rates, that is fine).

    Contest will remain open until Sunday, January 18th. I will select 3-5 designers based on the quality of work and competitiveness of long term rates. The winners will get my business in 2009 and $5 to get a cheeseburger or something.

    Good luck!

    Thanks for the great start, everyone! So far, I like Enmar's entry the best because no matter whether the image is light or dark, there will not be any issues with the caption being readable ... looking forward to seeing more entries! Got one entry over PM too ... that one had a nice style of watermarking the domain :) ... Still overall, so far, Enmar holds the top design ...

    @surenther - I like how you are being a little more creative by adding angles to the captions and all that - look forward to seeing more creativity ... everyone, don't be afraid to break away from boxy design! :D

    @sikka2010 - sorry for missing feedback on your previous entry - the very first one I did not think would work because say the picture is of a building that has a lot of white in it, the caption may not show up the same way they do on this example, but the most recent example looks like it would work ... I like how you played with it a little more - I am liking the entries that are more creative in how the captions are presented and how the watermarks are made. Yours looks good, I have up to 5 slots, so you are in the top 5 now.
