Contest: $15 via paypal for an Unbeatable idea (don't need to design anything)

Discussion in 'Design Contests' started by proteindude, Sep 12, 2007.

    Hello creative people:

    This is something a little different: I need to design an ad with the theme along this line: Have you ever felt UNBEATABLE (or undefeatable)

    I just need an idea so I can create this ad. You don't need to submit any designs just an idea. I need something creative and non violent. The idea I like the best will get $15 via paypal

    This needs to show something Unbeatable about to happen, not something that's already happened. You can suggest something like having a super strong looking weightlifter next to some skinny guys, or have a formula one car next to some old rusty looking cars about to race agains each other. I hope you get the idea. So help me create an ad that gives the theme of being Unbeatable.

    If you think your idea might be too silly but still think it's unbeatable and not sure about posting it in the thread you can just pm me. You can pm me your idea but I will still declare the winner in the thread.

    Contest closes this Saturday (US time).

    PM sent with my idea

    you could do two people, one looking like einstein with monocle and lab coat and a white beard like a proff and one is just a normal kid next to each other in a black board and a banner above them with math contest is written, that'd be cool

    You could go with a simple approach by just having a bunch of gold medals, trophies, and awards all piled up. This would be a way of projecting all the victories you have had over others...making you unbeatable.

    or

    A neighborhood/city demolished by a storm but one house/building in the center completely clean of debris, etc.

    or

    A boxing robe laying out on a table or something (your business name written where the boxers would be) with a pair of gloves sitting next to it. Would be nice to use a red robe with white letter stitching, black background, quote "Unbeatable" top right corner or so...


    ;) Just a few thoughts!

    Thanks guys for taking part in this. Some cool ideas already.

    No, you do not have to design the graphics. All I need is an idea and I will get it turned into a design.

    I am not picking one yet but I like the one with Einstein as it's prety easy to turn into an ad.

    Still looking for more. The contest closes on Saturday.

    The imagery I would try and portray would be to show cyclists like in the tour de france doing a climb stage, one cyclist (unbeatable one) leading the pack at the top of the mountain, and the rest of the cyclists further down the mountain on smaller bikes.

    Two guys sitting at a table, arm wrestling. The guy on the right shaking with all his might, red face, sweating. The guy on the left, is holding a bottle up to his mouth with his left hand with the words "unbeatable" going down it, and he's all shiny and outlined and such.

    Piggy, I really like your entry. It's also got a sporty theme and I can modigy this slightly but the idea is great.

    If anyone else is considering entering this, now is the time as this contest ends this Saturday. Otherwise Piggy's the winner.

    Cheetah running after a gazelle.

    Can't go wrong with the fastest animal on land going after its favorite prey.

    How about:

    2 Guys doing An olympic sprint and the picture of one guy really ahead of the other, who just passed the finish line 2 feet ago, and on a big lcd board in the background it says "UNBEATABLE"


    A picture of a traditional arcade highscore table (the one you see after playing a 25 cent game), with all of them at 100 - 1000, and then one guy called "UNBEATABLE" at 50,000.


    Please tell me if you like these ideas. Very interested in hearing from you.

    They are both great ideas but you missed the point slightly. I was after something portraying unbeatable before the competition takes place. Guys that got the idea were the ones with the Einstein example and the horse racing.

    Thanks to all who participated in this contest and some cool ideas guys. However, like in any contest there can be one winner and the winner is piggy.

    His idea will be slightly modified where you have an arm wrestling competition about to start. And you have a muscular, sporty looking guy on one side (with the company name on the T-shirt) and have some skinny and old looking guys on the other side as the challengers. Obviously the muscular guy is going to be unbeatable.

    Piggy please pm me your paypay details. I will be away a few hours but not too many.

    Thanks again to all those who took part.

    Doesn't my second idea portray what you are looking for?

    The people know hes unbeatable just by looking at his highscores.

    Your idea is also OK, it's just that piggy's one is more suitable for me, plus I need to think about portraying the idea in print and the one I chose is easier to turn into an ad in a magazine.

    How about a girl checking out two guys in a dating service like setting...

    The first guy is fat and half bald with a beard down to his beer belly

    The second is a very good looking executive type guy that no girl in her right mind would turn down for a date.

    That guy would be UNBEATABLE!

    This is also a great idea to portray the idea/image of being unbeatable but this contest is already closed as I already chose piggy's idea which seems most suitable for my needs.
