The Pitch Challenge #1

 

Starts: Now

Entries Due: Saturday, December 14th at 6:00 pm NST

Voting Ends: Wednesay, December 18^th at 6:00 pm NST

 

The Idea: Imagine you and a few others have been chosen by a company or person to create a unique design. However, they don’t just want you to run with it – they have given you a specific phrase or image that they want incorporated into this design.

You can take the phrase or image and create whatever you would like. Create an advertisement, a logo or slogan, business card, greeting card, a comic, or commercial. It could even be as specific as a simple image that your client wants to place on their website to acknowledge or announce something. Whatever your heart’s desire. Just be certain that you have incorporated what your client wants into what you have made.

 

The Client: The voters will be acting as the client. Entrants may vote but may not vote for themselves.

 

The Phrase: “Hello December” - I wanted to make it a bit easy since it’s the first challenge. So no image – just a simple phrase.

 

Important: If you have a design in mind, but you're unsure of whether or not it will be accepted, feel free to PM me.

 

RULES:

1. Your pitch must be unique and created by YOU.

2. Submit your pitch to me and make sure it’s an acceptable size that can be easily viewed in the thread.

3. Submit 1-5 sentences that will help sell your design to the client. Use your imagination with this! Ask yourself: Who is the client? Why do they want a design with this particular image or phrase? Is it meant to be funny or serious?

4. Do not add your username to the design - this is just common knowledge. 

5. Please comply with the Neocodex rules as well. That means no naked Santa spanking Mrs. Claus.

First: Get Off My Lawn Paint Brush donated by Scot

 

 

Second: Baby Paint Brush donated by Napiform

 

 

Third: Skunk Paint Brush donated by Kordelia

 

Contact me if you would like to donate a prize.

This is a great idea! Very interested to see the results for this - I may or may not enter because I want an old man pokemon ._.

[Emily]

Ohhh neato! Inspired by your Advertisement class? lol
Not sure if I will participate or not yet, but super excited to see the entries either way.

 

Yes, you know how much I love that advertising class

 

And yeah, if you look past the specifics, the challenge is basically to create whatever you want with "hello december" on it. Shouldn't be too challenging! 

[Nalah]

create whatever you want with "hello december" on it. 

 

Anything? Like a video or a coffee mug or a window? Or could we just submit text that discusses our prototype for our pitch? Thanks for the comp as well, it sounds like fun!

Basically, something you've made with "hello december" on it and don't forget the 1-5 sentence pitch to go along with it.

So do I have to try and "sell" you a specific item?

Not an item, exactly - an idea. The voters are the client and they pick the one that appeals to them the most.
