Title: Blotter design contest.
Post by: Nevita on December 18, 2012, 12:33 pm
Hi all.. because my inability to edit and work with digital images I am starting a blotter design contest.

Winner will receive 250 tabs of his design. We need two designs.

1. Image making a total of 100 hits ( 9 repeated images )
2. Image per hit

Image size must be 7.5x7.5 inches ( one hit 0,25x0,25) with a bleed of 3mm :) . Resolution must be 300dpi.

Contest will end next monday. Thanks

You can't go too far wrong with...

50 Hitler

I present to you the "50 Hitler Double-Dose"...

(http://xfq5l5p4g3eyrct7.onion/thumbs/c3cf8a5791a5b04ec1d3fc16755475d3.png)

This will ensure customers remember product name - the rest is up to you! 

*** note: there are actually only 98 Hitlers so you may have to nudge the price a little ***

I can adjust the dimensions and such if you like.

Sorry, I'm being dumb... can you just clarify what this means exactly? (the "9 repeated images" part)

Also, is this contest open for people in the UK (i.e. - will you ship to the UK?)

Actually... Just to check... I may be being outrageously dumb. Does the winner receive 250 tabs of their design as unused/pre-drugged (?) blotter paper... or 250 tabs of their design each with a dose of Acid/NBOMe or something?

 ::)

Edit: Could we enter more than 1 design?

Let me jump in and respond to your questions with the most obvious and only possible correct answers

1.  9 repeated images means 9x9 =  ~50  x 2  =  ~100
***  Refer to:  FULL SIZE 50 Hitler Double-Dose as perfect example ***

2.  The competition is open to UK residents however all conditions stated or unstated are subject to change at the contest organizers' discretion.

3.  The blotter paper prize will be post-soak (of course).

4.  Due to the overwhelming response, only one entry per contestants is permitted.


This is an awesome and exciting chance to get my art on a blotter!

Canuckboy

You can win the next competition, I'm pretty sure I've got this - 50xHitler-DD for the WIN!!!

You graphic-art guys should be asking "what happens to my copyright over artwork?".
 - seems fair you should maintain your ownership rights after competition entry
 - would also be reasonable to transfer these rights as part of claiming prize upon winning the competition

Oh my God, I must be going insane from lack of sleep. I'm still confused about the details (and I've done a fair amount of graphic art!!)

It's just that, first post:

Image making 100 hits. Cool. But 9x9 = 81. Why not 10x10? Or at least 9x11=99 would be closer.
And if the image is 7.5x7.5 inches, but each tab is only 0.25x0.25, well isn't that gonna total 900 tabs?! Not 100.

And also, "image per hit". Wouldn't repeated images be an image per hit anyway? So whats the difference in these two design requirements?

And then your Hitler example, well that's 7x14... and the image isn't 7.5x7.5 inches.

I'm sorry for being a 'tard. It's just all these numbers don't add up, that's why I'm so confused.  ???

ThePolice does very very little graphic art and is prone to making rash calculations in support of his claim on the prize.

With all the talk of "excuse my stupid questions... I'm a tard... I'm confused...  going insane" Zenvo and boys like him make it too easy for ThePolice to raid and pillage.

Zeno - you are actually correct on your calcs.  7.5^2 / 0.25^2  = 900.  Thus, you would have to conclude, the image should be 2.5^2 to be repeated 9 times over across the blotter.  You should try to be more assertive.

I propose we work together (me concept and you execution) and agree to share the winnings.  I will assume you recognize the potential for greatness and are very agreeable to this.

For concept, let's roll with a WWII based theme.  I'm liking the idea of 'Churchill is victorious', obviously a good dose of Hitler and perhaps some Rainbow Stalin (per youtu.be/zVsHHLa3yDg).  Will have to see how it comes together when you make it.

When can you have a draft back to me?

I'll send it to your TheDane tormail account.

Good stuff bud. We cancelled our contest because we only got 1 submission, if we manage to get a couple more, maby if Scamps send hers in too we can do a give away, but we lay Acid not Nbom, so prize is definitely not gonna be 2 1/2 sheets of acid  :)

WOW; I just read all this thread ! :)

Here is a link to my thread:  http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/index.php?topic=15815.465 .

About the Hitler art or WWII related, we prefer to have a more pacific image; non politic or religious related. We don't believe in this ; thus we don't like to spread their message. Added is not good for business to mark your product with this hot topics in now a days society ;)

I always love to see new art; if we really love it you will be compensated for your work and 250 or so sheets will be printed for future stock.

Sí, ahora disponemos de todo el material necesario para fabricar nuestro propio papel secante troquelado; pero solo es rentable/eficiente en grandes tiradas.

Happy new year to all.
