QUAKECON BANNER CONTEST! $200 PRIZE!

**...bigdog...** · 07-23-09, 10:07 AM

TTP is going to need a banner for it's booth at Quakecon: http://www.texasteamplayers.com/index.php?board=164.0

We're going big...super big....so we need it at 100" by 36" at 300DPI. That means 30000w by 10800h in pixels. File format/mode must be in CMYK (not RGB), and saved as a .tif file to prevent loss. We know it's a huge file, so you can simply post scaled down versions in png or jpg or whatever, here. But the winner MUST provide a full size version...which I guess we'll figure out how to transfer later.

Current theme needs to be along the lines of: http://www.texasteamplayers.com/gall...9_12_45_18.png

We'll be using that as a poster, as a tshirt, as a mousepad, as all sorts of stuff. So...your banner needs to "fit in". Keep it simple. Red, black, and white colors only.

Deadline for submission is monday. Host an image in the TTP image gallery in the main menu in the correct dimensions. Of course, you can't host a 30000 pixel wide image here....so resize it to 1000w or less to display.

ok go.

BAM!

I can switch the colors if needed.

**...bigdog...** · 07-23-09, 10:23 AM

that's not going to cut it.

you have to leave some space around the edges of the banner.....some cushion. the TX is too large. And.....I don't know if it's necessary to put the game abbrev's up there at all. maybe the www? maybe something else?

**Adretheon** · 07-23-09, 10:37 AM

Ok, Now bam!

**Arreo** · 07-23-09, 10:39 AM

Oh, one more important thing to know is that is will be set against a black velvety backdrop to the booth.

yeah....so I don't like it still, adretheon.

maybe a red background, with a a white TX and black lettering (white outlined)?

And...make your fonts right.

AND, you don't have to match the whole TX state image/letter concept. Why not your regular soprano looking texas team players red white black stuff?

**Adretheon** · 07-23-09, 10:45 AM

Ok. I'll try again. The fonts are the same Impact that I always, use, but for some reason PS wants to make them look different when they get bigger. I'll see what I can do about that.

Try converting them to vectors in at a smaller setting (18-24 pt or so), then scale them up from there.

Actually, for everyone interested in this, I'd seriously recommend working solely in vectors. Anything this large going on a physical item, if you use raster images you'll likely end up with a funky looking product, or at the very least, not as good as it could look. Plus printers tend to like you more when you can provide them with EPS files on request.
