paynomind Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 Please vote on the following, in a 1st, 2nd 3rd format:ADoes well of advertising the show, but doesn't really hint at what kind of show it is. At quick glance, the clown wig image might lead some to believe it's a kids show... when in fact, it's quite the opposite. Needed to tell when the show airs. Color choice is decent at best, font choice could be improved. Impact = bad. Bold, simple, clean design is a hallmark of billboards, and it is shown well here.BGood color and font selection. Again, an effective solution with a short message. Achieves the theme of the show and uses a "shocking" message to generate attention and interest. The Morning Mayhem font fits the theme, though may be a little hard to read at speed. Could have used a little more of the available space with larger treatments, even extentions, but overall well done.CThis is a very efficient and effective billboard. The message isn't overly long, no extraneous info, just straight to the point and also touches on San Antonio's connection to the Alamo. The only downside would be the vibrant green/yellow as the backdrop, as it could easily blind someone in the midday Texas sun. Aside from that, no mention of the morning show was made directly.Nicely done gentlemen. Again, no hints to whom did which design, nor should you tell anyone yours didnt get chosen.Voting will be 24 hours. PM ONLY Remember, voting is important, so drop a quick PM, folks.

Sterling84 Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 Am I allowed to comment here?If not, my bad. Please delete.Don't get me wrong. They are all well done. But I'm a little disappointed no one took the images provided them further. Except for being wanded out they aren't manipulated at all as far as I can see.I know filters are lame, but either that or color shifting or something. I really would have like to see the designers break the plane of the billboard and not be afraid to enlarge the pics to go off the edge.Still, nice.

Blackjack76 Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 Rule of thumb...when driving at 55mph, billboards with seven (7) or fewer words can be read safely. Pictures = 2 words each. Company logo = 1 word.All of these then need to be in a conjested traffic area for anyone to read.Just an FYI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paynomind Posted February 24, 2005 Author Share Posted February 24, 2005 These are without a doubt the best three of the bunch.They are clean, simple, and have an appropriate amount of text. look at billboards the next couple days. They look a lot like these. Very few have 2 or three words. Those that do are by extablished brands who do not need to intro themselves to the world, as was specified in this contest.I agree, Sterling, I'd have liked to have seen some additional adventures in photoshop on this one. Some did expand, and use some billboard extentions, but simply using them didnt assure a top 5. NCFA Sunset Beach Tech - Octopi ΓΔΒ!

biohazard69 Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 my votes in....and if no one minds i kinda wanna add alot comments on some of the things ive seen and throw my sign design expertise into the bunch.On the 3 boards here all of them seem to be kinda pushing the margins of the sign and at high speed (and just standing still) its really hard to read a sign when the text runs up to any of the 4 margins, it just kinda pulls you off the sign/billboard/banner. And me being kinda new opefully im not stepping on the toes of any you guys buy adding some of my opinions too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
