GFX Void Magazine-Ad

Here's the deal, One entry per person, and _only_ one entry no revisions.

The object is to design a full page magazine ad for GFX Void. Be creative, but practical. You're trying to make an advertisement here.

+ Full Page (8 1/2" x 11") at 72dpi that's 612 x 792px.

+ Full Color (we'll pretend you've got a huge budget to work with ;) )

+ Keep your signature small, this is a simulation of a real job here. I'll allow for a signature even though one wouldn't normally be there, but keep it inconspicous.

+ You need to include the name "GFX Void" and the slogan "Filling Your Graphics Void"

+ You can add more text if you'd like.

+ Remember, this is an advertisement not self expression.

I have no plans on the entries being used for the promotion of GFX Void. To ensure that, simply put a copyright notice on your work somewhere, Taco will need your express permission to use your entries if he's interested. He probably won't appreciate one of his moderators telling everyone that...but oh well, it's the ethical thing to do. Originally I was just going to make up a company and product to be advertised, but this way everyone has in-depth knowledge of what they're designing for.

THIS IS NOT GOING IN A REAL MAGAZINE. THIS IS ONLY A PRACTICE FOR PEOPLE TO LEARN TO THINK IN REAL GRAPHIC DESIGN SITUATIONS I've been asked a bunch of times. Sorry guys. not a real magazine. But...all these questions have given me an idea. I'll get back to you with it, when it's done formulated.

*tear* finally something with some in-depth thinking involved. 43, you are now officially my GFX-Void hero. lol. Ill get crackin on it tomorrow. Can it be a cover for an existing magazine also? But have it featuring GFX-Void?

Heh, thanks.

Um..no. Stick to full page advertisements. I don't want people losing track of what they're doing. We want this to focus on GFX Void, and how to sell it to the public. If you need a target market, figure that this is going to be in PRINT magazine. A real high-class design magazine.

:alittle note:
This doesn't have to be in any specific medium, just make sure it's digitized by the end of the day. This is a real world problem, so find a real world solution.

oooo me doin this... tho... itll b quite hard bcps.. there arent exactly any pictures we can use..

[edit] SCRAPPED CAUSE IT SUCKED

Ooo ive been waitin forever to do somthin like this i got a great idea

dang that owned mine... i dont read too many ads tho lol

woah, great idea 43. Im gonna get to work on one soon.
Oh, btw, do we have to come up with our own text or can we just fill it with something like "text here" copied a few times ??

oh baby, ill be doing this for sure.

Nvm. Ok. 43. Mind if I spin off a battle from this and make a magazine cover battle?

What magazine is this going in?

No, fill it with something. If you're really really really REALLY stuck then just fill it with Lorem ipsum text. search google for Lorem Ipsum if you don't know what I'm talking about. "text here" or any repeating short phrase like that looks out of place and detracts from the layout.

Go for it, I&#39;d appreciate it if you held off for alittle while though, so as not to detract from this battle.

Wow. I will get working on it now&#33; Maybe this add will really go in a magazine some day :D I will see after the battle is over with taco.

Never heard of that magazine =/

PRINT is a magazine for graphic artists. They feature designs from the top design firms from around the globe.

BFG,
We&#39;ll like I said, he&#39;d need express consent from any entrants to use it, and it would have to be 8 1/2 x 11" @ 300dpi at least. Not 72dpi.

Well, heres my ad for GFX Void. The main text is just Lorem ipsum but i&#39;ve put some captions and bits of text around the page. Here it is.......

Ok, here&#39;s mine.

EDIT: Everything back to normal. :P

Are you going to try and submit this to a magazine....(you answered Tenken with VVVVVV or something) I was just wondering..btw Rabies is the best so far :P

Hehe, thanks. :P
Oh shit, I just found something I need to change.. Is it ok if I just edit that part (the text), and nothing else? I just want to make the text stronger, but I have to go to bed now. xD

Question : We have to do only normal design of GFXVOid magazine but only JPG , this battle isnt including php,html, css, like normal site, just a picture right?

dude... is an ad for a magazine, now unless you live in the future where they code magazines, just make it a pic

No no, like I said these aren&#39;t going in any magazine. I have no intention of them being used. I just wanted everyone to think in real graphic design problems instead of signature competitions. I just gave an example magazine

Change it back please. I don&#39;t want anyone to say later that I let you do it so why can&#39;t they, blah blah blah.

Mohammed,

Lorem Ipsum text. It&#39;s latin, completely meaningless phrases strung together to simulate normal sentence patterns. Designers use it when they dont&#39; have text for a design yet.

Ok, nemas problemas. :P

yea very nice idea 43, prolly one of the best ideas ive seen , only if some of the works got on a mag :P

oops i just though that we have to make a site :)

ok i found this interesting i must try sumthing new :)

when is the deadline?? i have too much work with school , and work ,.... :(

Really good idea :) At the moment I won&#39;t be entering due to the fact it&#39;s alot of work and I have very important exams at the moment, nice entrys though by everyone else.

lol Dick... is there html in magazines? wtf lol :P
