When putting your entries together, think of the environment that this will appear. It will be in a busy conference room, where people will be looking at it from a distance. It needs to be clean and clear and easy to spot in a crowd. I'm under some time pressure in this project, so if I spot a design I like, I might delcare an early winner. Here's the specs ...
The design must:
Be artwork that measures 850mm wide x 2000mm high @ 120dpi, with 50mm bleed on top and bottom
Be clean and minimalist
Contain the SitePoint logo
Contain the phrase "Helping you build a better Web"
Contain original vector artwork (EPS, .AI or PDF)
Reflect the SitePoint brand — a balance of cool and cutting edge but also a professional educator
The design must not:
Use large blocks of orange or blue
Use repeated diamonds/arrows that are inspired by the logo
Here's a link to a vector logo http://s3.sitepoint.com/temp/sitepo…go-CMYK.ai
I've also attached a copy of our 99designs pull up banner, we really like this one, so it will give you more insight to what we're looking for,
