ATTN: Minions. You have two weeks.
This is the official announcement that the contest beginning at my glorious talk (it was made glorious by you, the attendees, I just showed up and shouted) ends in approximately two weeks. Allow me to forcibly and loudly iterate the following three exceptionally important points:
1) The winner gets cash.
2) You need. To. Think. [insert provacative language]. Huge. I mean, like, huge. When I say “pretend you have unlimited budget” I very much mean it. Pretend you have NFL money.
3) I physically lack the means of conveyance to express the need to send me comps or at least some general thoughts prior to the deadline, which is the minute after my clock says “April 1st”.
Because if you do not do #3, and you you wait until the end and send me a of logo, maybe a uniform and possibly a web site. Then I will say, “This is nice, but I was thinking more along the lines of this, plus your team sets up a charity roller derby match hosted by XYZ corporation and ABC magazine, donating the money to DEF charity, reaching GHI markets! Plus you could have a home uniform, an away uniform, a tournament uniform. And for logos, you could have your primary, secondary, type-only, and supergraphics. Oh and have you thought about how you would design the stadium’s events? And how about interactive games people can play before the show starts?”
When I say, “Make it huge!”, imagine a poster set in 4,561,920 pt Helvetica Black, C=40% Y=20% M=20% K=100%
And allow me to specify the two reasons I am making this project so large:
1) It is based on things in my portfolio that have caught the eye of more creative directors (i.e. even if you do not win, this project will help you get a job.)
2) I find the scholastic torture of design students to be amusing.
(There is only one reason Kevin has this project, thank you. — MGMT)
