Design a Banner and Logo Contest for CH9 Female Seeds!!!

[Gypsy Nirvana]

Hello Ya'll!!

I good breeder friend of mine needs a little marketing help in designing a nice couple of banners and a logo to go on ICMAG....

He offers quite a range of exciting crosses in female seed form and wants to have 2 banners up here on ICMAG.....


What we have decided on the aim of the advertising campaign is that it should centre around the fact that these are seeds of the female kind so he will be re-naming his varieties with the 'Girl' in them to signify that they are female seeds....e.g. Hash Girl...(CH9 x Hashplant)...Mendocino Girl..(CH9 x Mendicino)....Jack's Girl...(Jack Herer X CH9)........e.t.c.


....So a 'Girly' image is required (no porno please...lol!).......maybe a pink and sexy theme....perhaps a Barbie Doll grower image?.......or what-ever comes to mind.......We need 2 banners and one logo for the 'Girl Collection'.....

Lets see what your imagination and artistic capabilities can bring forth here!


.....The 2 winning banner designers will each get a 5 seed pack of 5 varieties of choice from this breeder.......and the logo winner will receive the same.......

.....LET THE CONTEST COMMENCE!

*Banner requirements must be 468 x 60 in gif,jpg,swf or flash.......cannot be any larger or any smaller.....

Nice!

Nice!

I am totally all over this. I will begin working on my entry when I get home! May the games begin!

EDIT: Quick question, are there any specifics regarding the logo? Should it be submitted in a separate file using a certain resolution or image size? Just wondering so I'll know what size to make the original.

 

[~CH9~]

Echoes,I don't know myself ,Gypsy will respond tomorrow,,thanks for your help,,,really appreciated...I have seen a female seed bank using human body shape to advertise,it was nicely done.I like calyxes and pistils myself... any colours...etc..

bounty29 :
You can post them here by all means for everyone to see.......nice design simpleword..simple yet effective........kinda reminds me of Charlie's Angels....lol!



Echoes:.....make them all big enough to fit on ICM.....the logo could be of a higher resolution.....


.....any more designers out there?

 

[bounty29]

Is there a limit on number of submissions?
When will the contest end?
Filesize limit?

 

[~CH9~]

Thanks Simpleword and Bounty29...they look great...

4 of these images images come from the Book "Sinsemilla Marijuana Flowers" By Jim Richardson Berkeley 1976.

I like the 2nd image graphic with the shade effect (or inverse in white and black background?) ,seeing the 4rth or 5th picture with the same shade effect will be nice too...(sorry for my sentences...) this sounds more on the pioneer cultivator side ,vintage,than a girl collection but it may give ideas to others members.

I hope I don't break any feeling ,,,do what you feel ,,it will be the best....

I know the book is copyright so....

Last 2 pictures are some CH9 seeds,,,

 

[bounty29]

Thanks for the info, the more you tell us what you want the better we can make the banners and logos for you. Remember, these are going to represent your product, so don't settle for one. Constructive criticism is extremely helpful with things of this nature.

GN: Should we be using original art and clipart only, or is it ok if we snag stuff off the web?

CH9, I found this image in your gallery, I hope you don't mind my using it.

What a pain to only have 60 pixels vertical height, I never realized...

 

[~CH9~]

Of course not Bounty29,,,it is cool....use any of them as you'd like..

I imagine a black background banner with at the corner,pic 5 or 4,sinsemilla electric buds swelling in full white.....just an idea...do what you want Bounty ,,use any image you find....
also I like more "Ch9 Female seeds" than "feminised or feminized"...that's all I wanted to say......

 

[bounty29]

That's it for today, maybe I'll try some more tomorrow

 

[~CH9~]

Bounty29 that is really cool,,,,,that bring a lot of originality,,,,cause talking about fem seeds ,it is nice to not forget these are plants and they can grow very well,cubing give birth to many mothers plant in small population so ....

I want see some images like that from outdoor grow this summer...anybody want try to start some ch9 seeds indoor in February or March and put them outdoor....

I really like that one (the middle one)....any different font? maybe without the "~" with ch9?

I am taking better quality picture of this image ,in case...

 

[bounty29]

Yeah I'll see if I can find a better font. Do you want to list your strains in the banner, or just have your name and something that signifies they're female seeds?

Depending on when this contest ends I bet the winners would have time to prep for an outdoor grow this year. (Depending on their location, obviously.)

GN, one more question. Is there a filesize we should try to keep it under, because that could make a big difference.

 

[♥Mo♥]

This looks like fun. How long is this open for?

 

[Chmaka]

 

[Gypsy Nirvana]

1200 x 800 is a file size that is good enough for a logo....


I reckon that we shall run the competition for another 10 days....so lets say up till the 22nd March.....


.....Chmaka.........I like that slogan 'You Grow Girl!'.....lol!


CH9......where is that banner that you made last night?.....was kinda funny with the barbie in it....

 

[~CH9~]

Bounty29,
I think we don't have so much room to write the strain name...you can try to put one "CH9 G13" if you want as a trial...just the name and something meaning they are Females otherwise...

Gypsy a friend on a forum did it for me as a joke,,I told him we had a laugh with Barbie etc....please no !!! lol...

Chmaka, superb...that's reminds me some nice art design from downtown SD.....
