Virtual Game Label Design Contest - ENDING SOON

[Primordial Ooze]

I'm holding a virtual game label contest for my new game 2600 Pong. and the feeling of helping another developer out.

 

::How to Enter::

To enter, submit your entry as a post discribing your entry and the labels as a post attachment. The entry deadline is May 23 and other entries will be accepted at that time. Both a main label and an end label must be included with your submission. For your label to be considered, please understand these guidelines and conditions. Any questions may be directed in this thread.

 

::Prizes::

First Prize: Reconition oh the Open Source Pong Website(http://opensourcepong.freepgs.com) and and the feeling of helping another developer out.

 

Spectators(thread viewers): Ability to beta test the game before it is finally released.

 

::Support Material::

Attached to this thread is a screenshot of what the game looks like and a full unrestricted version of the game rom. You may use these assets to help you determine the design of your game label(s).

 

::Main Label::

There are no restrictions for the artwork or layout for the main label, so you are free to create anything your imagination (and artistic skills) can conjure up. I am partial to the Atari Picture Label variety, but you don't need to constrain yourself to that particular style. Please keep in mind that this artwork may also appear in the manual created for my game.

 

::End Label::

The end label must contain the game's title, 2600 Pong.

 

::Text::

The following text must appear on the main label:

2600 Pong

Copyright © 2007 OpenSourcePong

 

::Clearly Legible Text::

All text on the label must be clearly legible at the size the label will be printed virtually. Please keep this important consideration in mind while you are designing your label.

 

::Multiple Submissions::

While I will gladly accept multiple submissions, we ask that each label be unique from your any previous submissions in some significant fashion. I reserve the right to reject labels that differ only in color or some other minor attribute from previous entries. I will gladly replace previous submissions with new entries if you so request.

 

::Use of Copyrighted Images::

If you use any copyrighted images, you must seek permission from the copyright holder before using that image as part of your label. Likewise, any labels that use artwork from a previously submitted label will be rejected.

 

::Permission to Reprint::

By submitting an entry (or entries) to this contest, you agree to allow OpenSourcePong to reproduce your submission(s) without your having to grant permission or receiving compensation for the right to do so.

 

Labels should be saved in a non-lossy image format such as PNG, TIFF, PCX, or BMP. If you need to save your image using JPEG for some reason, please use a minimal amount of compression. In order for the label to look good when displayed, it should be saved at at 200dpi or better. If you are concerned about large file sizes you can drop me a line on this thread before attaching the file to the thread, but generally anything under 10MB will not be a problem.

 

Good Luck Everyone!
