Seeking Design Ideas for Posters
--Posted by Laura of the 'Save Our Seeker' Team


UPDATE: New Deadline: Sunday, June 27th


Per our forum post yesterday, we're raising funds to create ads for the upcoming conventions, and we're now looking for creative* design ideas for rip-away posters that will be displayed around the San Diego Convention Center during Comic Con. Rip-away posters are very viral advertising vehicles. You can see examples on this page.

Specifications for poster design as set by our vendor, Street Virus:

* Finished size: 18x24
* Please include 1/4 inch bleeds all around
* Print ready PDF is preferred but can accept AI files with all fonts outlined
* 300dpi preferred for any pictures


Please upload your poster ideas on Photobucket.
We set up a photo album for this project:

Password: seeker


Deadline:
Sunday, June 27th

Poster text:

Header:
LEGENDARY SUMMER OF SEEKER

Body text:

visit legendoftheseeker.com


Fine print:
This ad was made possible by generous donations from 'Legend of the Seeker' fans around the world.


* About "creative designs",
there are copyrights and trademark issues we need to work around. Even "Legend of the Seeker" is trademarked, hence the "creative header".


* No photos from the show
(i.e. screencaps, promo photos, logos, etc.) for legal/copyright issues.


* Only FULL silhouettes can be used if using photos from the show, i.e., all black, only the outline can be seen.


* Creative concepts like this constellation image would be great:

* Any images from free public domain photo databases are allowed.


We may do a poll to choose the best design if we get many submissions. Feel free to contact: [e-mail] for any questions/suggestions/concerns.

Edited to NOTE:
"Color would be great. In this case, it could make the poster catchier."

This is such a good idea. How I wish I had the means to electronically transmit ideas.

An Update from sot_fan on Poster Designs:


Seeking Design Ideas for Posters

Please spread the word!

We're raising funds to create ads for the upcoming conventions, and we're now looking for creative* design ideas for rip-away posters that will be displayed around the San Diego Convention Center during Comic Con, and eventually at Dragon*Con. Rip-away posters are very viral advertising vehicles. You can see examples on this page.

To submit your ideas, please make sure to follow these 4 steps:

1. SPECIFICATIONS FOR POSTER DESIGN (as set by our vendor, Street Virus):

- Finished size: 18x24 inches portrait
- Color or black & white
- Please include 1/4 inch bleeds all around
- Print ready PDF is preferred but can accept AI files with all fonts outlined
- 300dpi preferred for any pictures

2. UPLOAD INSTRUCTIONS:

Please upload your poster ideas on Photobucket.
=>Create an Album with your name so we'll know who created the ad.
Feel free to use the comments field to include your name, how we can
contact you, etc.

Username: saveourseeker
Password: seeker

Deadline: Extended until Sunday, June 27th, 5pm PDT

3. POSTER TEXT:

Header: LEGENDARY SUMMER OF SEEKER (all caps without separating the text)

Body text: Action. Magic. Adventure. Romance.

To find your local time and channel,
visit legendoftheseeker.com (no "www.")

Nice to include in fine print at the bottom of the poster: This ad was made possible by generous donations from 'Legend of the Seeker' fans around the world.

NOTE: Please use ALL of the text above without modifying it. The goal of this ad campaign is to recruit new fans to the show, rather than educating existing fans about the SOS campaign. The entire text above IS the primary message. "Save Our Seeker" is secondary.

4. IMPORTANT CLARIFICATIONS:

* About "creative designs", there are copyrights and trademark issues we need to work around. Even "Legend of the Seeker" is trademarked, hence the "creative header".
- No photos from the show (i.e. screencaps, promo photos, logos, etc.) for legal/copyright issues.
- Only FULL silhouettes can be used if using photos from the show, i.e., all black, only the outline can be seen. It's ok to have one silhouette only with the Seeker, or Richard and Kahlan for example.
- Creative concepts like this constellation image would be great: img190.imageshack.us/img190/3...chardstars.gif
- Any images from free public domain photo databases are allowed.

We may do a poll to choose the best design if we get many submissions. Feel free to contact [e-mail] for any questions/suggestions/concerns.
