The Pitch Challenge #2

 

Starts:  Now!!!

Entries Due:  Saturday, January 18^th at 6:00 pm NST

Voting Ends:  Wednesday, January 22^nd 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: “I Never Knew It Could Taste So Good!”

 

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.

 

FOR REFERENCE:  If none of this makes any sense whatsoever, please see the voting thread from Emily's inaugural contest to get an idea of submission variety and so forth.

Fantastic, and thank you so much!!! Would you like for your prize to go for  a specific 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place slot...or to a random draw among entrants?

Doesn't matter too much to me, I guess a random draw among the entrants sounds good.

That's a really cute NP placeholder. I want to enter and I wanted to last time, but I panicked and didn't get it done and felt bad. I don't want to commit now lol

Your entry would be a nice surprise then, I'd love to see you submit to the contest...but yes less stress to just let it happen if it can and not commit.
