Contest Specifications

IndianaUploaded members, summer is nearly over, conferences are a bloom, and opportunities to be had!  The first of many fall contests is the opportunity to create a bumper ID for the recent re:build conference to showcase their videos from the speakers, for free, on the web! 

This is a great opportunity to get your potential to tens of thousands of viewers in the development and web comminutes!    Follow the brief below and re:build’s benchmarks to get some ideas!

RE:build will also need the source files for last minute tweaking for formatting each video! 

Re:build reserves the right to pick any entry and applicant to the contest to refine their work for use by early September!  Happy designing!

Their logo should you choose to use it:  http://bit.ly/inupREBUILD

Suggested software:

Illustrator, Photoshop, After Effects

Brief:

Re:build did a conference for web designers and developers, and filmed every presentation. We'd like to release these videos for free online, but we need a nice intro for them. It should be 3-5 seconds, and can be generic (that is, doesn't include the speaker name.) Ideally, it would match the branding established by our existing work (the best example being rebuidconf.com). Given that direction, we're open to ideas. I think we'd like to see some graphic concepts (as apposed to just typographic ones) but not necessarily photographic ones.

Here are some things we like (in execution, not necessarily aesthetic):
