winters in buffalo Posted August 11, 2006 Author Share Posted August 11, 2006 Can like product be non-physical, like entertainment? As much as I think it should be limited to physical items, I'm not going to limit it. If you want to use a service, or entertainment, go ahead. Do we have to change the name?Actually, you have to KEEP the current name. You're creating an old identity for a relatively new product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winters in buffalo Posted August 11, 2006 Author Share Posted August 11, 2006 Does it Have to be Historically correct? Obviously, there's plenty room for creativity on that. It's more about creating the look than keeping with the historical facts. However, doing both may work to your advantage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winters in buffalo Posted August 11, 2006 Author Share Posted August 11, 2006 Now for the advertisment whatnot, since Illustrator and modern tools weren't created back then, can illustrations replace computer generated material? I'm wasn't sure if you and the judges wanted only computer gereated material. This is based in the 1930's/40's after all. Or will that be concidered de-evolving the work made. Very good question. The only requirement is that entries are submitted electronically. They can be created using any medium. This is true for all events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred T. Jane Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 What if the product is part of a company that was made before 1995 but the product was made after? Yes, as long as it looks like the ad was made in the World War II era, like it says in the first post...*smacks his head* [Croatia National Team Manager Slavan] Bilic then went on to explain how Croatia's success can partially be put down to his progressive man-management techniques. "Sometimes I lie in the bed with my players. I go to the room of Vedran Corluka and Luka Modric when I see they have a problem and I lie in bed with them and we talk for 10 minutes." Maybe Capello could try getting through to his players this way too? Although how far he'd get with Joe Cole jumping up and down on the mattress and Rooney demanding to be read his favourite page from The Very Hungry Caterpillar is open to question. --The Guardian's Fiver, 08 September 2008 Attention: In order to obtain maximum enjoyment from your stay at the CCSLC, the reader is advised that the above post may contain large amounts of sarcasm, dry humour, or statements which should not be taken in any true sort of seriousness.

winters in buffalo Posted August 11, 2006 Author Share Posted August 11, 2006 What if the product is part of a company that was made before 1995 but the product was made after? But we edit the companies logo? That's fine, provided the product is uniquely post-95. Example: you could do one for Motorola's Razr and be OK, but doing one for a recent model Kenmore refridgerator would be pretty stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winters in buffalo Posted August 11, 2006 Author Share Posted August 11, 2006 800x600 in which directions? Not to single you out, but for those unfamiliar with standards, you generally list width first, then height. 800w X 600h in this case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winters in buffalo Posted August 11, 2006 Author Share Posted August 11, 2006 so i like i can do one for ipod just has to do with world war II Right. This event is probably one of the harder ones, so I'll toss out some free advice: a bit of research can make a world of difference. I just did a quick Google search of WWII advertising, and came up with a ton of great examples. The trick then, is taking something modern and connecting the dots back to that time period.
