Graphists Guild: Graphic Arts Platform/Challenges

The Graphists' Guild


Image



Welcome to StudioVs' Graphists' Guild. Here you can display your graphics talents and share your experience and knowledege in Photoshop, Corel Draw, whatever graphics software you enjoy using. As well, there'll be challenging requests from virtual companies asking for a vast array of marketing material, from posters to postcards, web pages, banners, letterheads or business cards. Simply choose the project you'd prefer working on, then show your results here as a reply. Thumbnails or links only of course. Should two or more of you choose the same project, you can request a poll to see which one everyone prefers. Keep in mind that any form of original graphic art is accepted for you to display at the Guild, as long as it's your original work.

Here's the first three requested projects:

1) Oshkosh Airshow called and requested a promotional poster (8.5" x 11") and tag line for the upcoming 2008 Airshow. Create it..

2) The U.S. Air Force e-mailed a request for a recruiting poster (11" x 17"), showing some of their latest, most advanced aircraft. Create it...

3) StudioV Graphists' Guild has expressed interest in having a logo with background (600 pixels x 400 pixels) for their new forum. Create it...

4) FIFA called and asked if we could put to-gether a poster with catch phrase (8.5 x 11) for preliminary advertising for their upcoming World Cup 2010 in Africa..Create it...

5) The manager of Metallica just called in a panic. The group has a 60 city tour coming up in two weeks and they need artwork for the tours' t-shirts..the tour is called Pedal to the Metal...create it

6) NASA contacted us as well and they're looking for a postcard (5" x 7") promoting their upcoming Mission To Mars...create it


Should you have any questions about the Guild and how it operates, please don't hesitate to ask..

fighter25, you don't need a link to a hi rez, but if you really want to show off..go for it. Upload any size, just post here as a clickable thumbnail, or as a link. And thanks Double_Farvel.

Here's a header I did for an MP idea which eventually never got off the ground. I had fun doing the art anyway....Tropical kind of coloring and relaxed, scriptive fonts. Comments welcome.. :) Don't be shy to show some things you've worked on in the past as well..
