MUpacersSIC2 Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Hello Everyone,This is my very first post here! Recently, Indianapolis successfully obtained a soccer team now named Indy Eleven. They are holding a contest to design one of their scarves for the season, and this is what I submitted (opinions welcomed): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whittier S Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Welcome to the boards![Full disclosure: I also entered the contest, but I'm not going to steer you wrong--I'm an honest guy.] My biggest concern here is that the front and back look like the belong to two entirely two different scarves. Each side on its own is pretty strong. I would just expect greater unity in design between the two sides.Also, it could just be an issue with my monitor, but it looks like you used shades of blue other than the official ones. They're going to be sticklers about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MUpacersSIC2 Posted August 19, 2013 Author Share Posted August 19, 2013 Yeah, I wasn't able to figure out how to get the exact pantone so I just tried to match it the best I could (I just converted their pdf to word and did my design through that). I was going for a more "reversible" approach where both sides could hold their own. I have already submitted it so no way you could steer me wrong regardless. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whittier S Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Sorry you beat me to the punch--I'm concerned they'll dismiss it just because of the colours.What program are you using? Most have an eyedropper tool--you could just use that to pick up the colors from the Pantone colors they have at the bottom of the form. In lieu of that, there are programs online that let you calculate conversions amongst RGB, Pantone, hexcode, and other systems. Hopefully this will come in handy in the future.

MUpacersSIC2 Posted August 19, 2013 Author Share Posted August 19, 2013 I guess there is nothing I can do now then. I tried to drag and drop, but it wouldn't allow me to. I just used Word, so it doesn't have all of the tools other programs do. I mainly just did it for fun, so no worries if they don't select it.

Whittier S Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Have you tried Paint? if you have Word, you should have Paint on your computer. At minimum, it's a good place to start before you graduate to programs like Illustrator and Inkscape. At best, there are a few folks on here who pull off stunning work with Paint--though it's not easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
