Discussion in 'Design Contests' started by tzemp, Jan 29, 2014.

    CONTEST IS CLOSED

    I am looking to have a 4 foot by 8 foot vinyl banner to be printed and hung in a High School gymnasium. For this contest I am looking for someone to design a print ready banner (digital) that will be hung within the gymnasium. The text and images will need to be fairly large as to be seen across the room. I am looking to use the “Accelerated Sports” logo with additional text that reads “The Ultimate Off Season” along with the website address The image must be an .ai file. Since it is an .ai file the size can be something small like 4 inches high by 8 inches wide for easy transfer. Please use the following social media icons in the banner, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Youtube.


    The contest is for 48 hours or until a clear winner is decided on, the winner will receive $35 via paypal.


    Accelerated Sports is a small student owned business that provides various sports camps to kids ages 8-18. They run Football, Rugby, Soccer, Volleyball, and Dance training development camps. To get an idea about the company go to their website at


    The color scheme: Gray (#CCCCCC), Matte Navy Blue (#2E3B48), and Red (#BE163A)

    The logo to be used can be found here.

    Here are some examples that might help your creativity

    Thanks for your submission! I like the design however I am concern with how it will translate in being 4 feet tall and 8 feet wide when printed. Is this in an .ai file? How pixelated will the photo look when printed at that size?

    Also, its a little difficult to see the "The Ultimate Offseason"

    Rama,
    Thank you for your post, I like direction. Just a few concerns however. The background is great, but makes the banner look busy, its hard to see the text. Second the lettering on the website text is too spread out to be readable. Third I would keep the social media icons in a single row.

    Don't be afraid to make one side of the banner heavier than the other in terms of content. When I design I go for the symmetrical look as well. Just wanted to let you know you don't have to worry about that if it looks good go for it!

    Patriciu,
    Thanks for your submission, I haven't forgotten about you don't worry!

    I really like your design, a few concerns is that our camps are not just about football, we do other sports as well. Maybe adding an additional sports figure that will match the look of the football player. I like the way you're going with it though!

    I would switch the "The ultimate off season" and website with the "Accelerated Sports Camps" logo. The "Ultimate Off season" text is hard to read from a distance and maybe to too small. The layer styles look great-I like the direction, but are hard to read.

    One last concern is that the file is in PSD, will it loose its sharpness when printed or even transfered to an EPS or PDF file?

    Thanks!

    @Patriciu,
    Thanks for the second submission. I like the addition of the basketball player. Just a few changes I would suggest:
    1.) The basketball player looks larger than the football player, work a bit more with the sizing to get them a bit more equal in size. Make the basketball player smaller or the football player bigger.
    2.) Use the Text logo up top and center (even larger would be okay). I would place the Falcon logo dead center, make it even larger and drop some of the effects, I don't mind a drop shadow but I would loose the color, just make it black.
    3.) Please add the social media icons and the website on the bottom of the image.
    4.) A little too much grunge has been added. I don't mind the grunge on the background but not on the players, logos, or text. However I do like the wispy light graphics around the players, keep those.

    Great work, I really appreciate the submission, keep it up!

    @jagodesign Its still too difficult to see the "The Ultimate Offseason" text, try to limit the number of shadows behind it.
