INITIATE POSTER CONTEST!

Stig_Admin · Post edited by Stig_Admin at 2012-07-18 13:31:06

We're holding a poster contest! Submit your poster designs to dtfhstore@gmail.com by July 30th, midnight PST, for a chance to win an autographed prize-pack, an effusively thankful phone call from Duncan, and a possible mini-interview on the DTFH if you're into it!

Duncan will pick his top 10 designs, then we'll turn it over to the Family and let you vote for your favorites! The top 3 will be turned into the next official DTFH posters and sold in the shop.

It's just like the t-shirt contest, only this time anyone can enter!

Follow these basic specs for your design:

Size: 12.25" x 18.25"
Color: CMYK
Resolution: 300dpi minimum (or vector)

Here are some high-res versions of the chaos flower! Feel free to use them however you like:

Thank you, and we love you!!!!

You'll have to scan it. We're looking for print-ready artwork here, 300 dpi, CMYK, etc.

If I successfully transmitted my submission telepathically, would that bear any sort of competitive edge?

I'm guessing there won't be international shipping? :(

There might be! The original poster didn't ship internationally because Duncan ships those himself, and he doesn't have the time or inclination to handle all the customs forms. I'll be shipping these new posters, and I can probably handle international orders.

Great news!

Do we get a cut of the profit or any money? all the prize seem nice but I'm a poor college kid and I need some green love energy.

most of the images online of the logo are of lower quality is there any places that fellow family members know of where i can get a decent quality logo to use/resize in my submission? Also the deadline of the 30th is a bit steep. As a design student myself it would be nice have an extra week. Thx all.

Stig_Admin

Sorry guys, 2 weeks will have to be enough.

thx for the hi rez version

Here are the two I have submitted so far....

That one is based off of the book cover for Thomas Hobbes' Leviathan, which the Illuminati use as a symbol for the Christian god, the Gnostic Demiurge, that rules the earth.

And this one is obviously Duncan as Baphomet.

@ghost_hit, I really like the "welcome to the family" one. Tugged at my heart strings, it did.

Ghost_Hit

@bella thanks. im so far from what could be called even an amateur "poster designer", but im just hoping it gets the ball rolling for the real designers. the more designs we have submitted, the better the poster is going to be. :)

My third poster, riffing on Lana Del Rey

I should note, the photoshop job is intentionally sloppy. Thought it made it funny. Not that my previous two are examples of the greatest photoshopping ever, but I purposely made this one extra "amateur".

Hamsterfist

My fourth submission...

Hamsterfist

My last one.

Hamsterfist

Funny story @Duncan, when I was making the posters, my wife asked me; "Why are you making posters of Charlie Manson?"

..... =D

gorillapunk

I am thinking a Day of the Dead skeleton with the Duncan Trussell Family Hour symbol.

get rid of the type & just use the logo in the lower right - big enough to read.

Hamsterfist

ladychef said:

I know, I love this one and this one

I agree with @ledhead999 about the type. I am not even sure if the logo in the corner is needed, as the kid has the logo on his jacket. Who made this one anyways? I hope it gets submitted!!!! I't would be amazing to hang in my house. =)

Hamsterfist

Here is my 6th one. I know mine suck, but I have fun doing this.

Hamsterfist

7th poster.. This one I actually spent a little bit of time on.

Hamsterfist

Alright, 8th one. I swear I am done now!!!

What would the photoshop ppi be to equal at least 300 dpi?

PPI and DPI are used interchangeably for most intents and purposes, so it's still 300.

Looks more like an album cover than a poster, but this looks great!
I love the way the text fades away in a visual representation of how the audio does in the intro.

I'm a simple man, and I evidently do not have the cognitive ability to post a jpg of my poster I did. Is there anyone that can let me know how you posted yours?

Nyhus

optimisto said:

These two are just awesome as fuck!

Stig_Admin

Just a reminder guys! Posting a poster in this thread (or someone else's poster, which seems to be happening a lot) does not enter it into the contest. You need to send a high-res copy of your poster design to dtfhstore@gmail.com for it to considered in the competition.

@Nyhus - I like those two as well! Unfortunately neither artist has entered them into the contest. Bug them about it!

Awwwwee shit! I'm gonna be doing some new art for this shit!!

I can enter my old posters designs of Rogan and Duncan and the giant head with the Krishna arms.
