OPTIONAL ASSIGNMENT
Monday, 28th – Monday, 4th
Hey all you crazy artists! Hope your semester is going well.
We are looking for an effective billboard design for one of our clients, Leisure Kraft Pontunes. The winning design/s will be posted on one of our digital boards in Crossville, Tennessee.
Flynn Signs has two digital boards here in Crossville. The digitals are great because they allow us to advertise multiple clients on the same board and offer multiple designs per client. Plus, they’re bright and visually appealing.
It is important when designing any billboard to use high contrast colors, heavy/bold typefaces, and brief, but clear, wording. Remember that most people driving down the road aren’t really interested in trying to read a bunch of excess text, especially when they only have an 8-second flash in which to do it (Each design gets 8-seconds on display every loop).
Rules and Specs:
- Designs may only include pictures provided by LKP
- Each applicant may submit up to three (3) versions of his/her design.
- Each design must be formatted to a 408x200 pixel jpeg image, dpi of at least 300
- Each design must include the following information
- LKP’s logo (attached to the original email)
- LKP’s contact information
- website http://www.leisurekraft.com
- phone 931-484-2681
It doesn’t matter to us what program you use to create your design, just make sure it’s saved/exported as a jpg image so we can upload it to our system.
The contest is a company facebook promotion and will run entirely on Facebook! So, go to our page, hit our Like button, and prepare to upload amazing designs!
Feel free to upload your designs along the way for critique and suggestions.
