Contest Brief

Use:
Greeting card concept for sending someone (i.e. family/friend/relative) a special message (i.e. a warning or final warning for his/her misbehavior, foul)

Looking inside (!) the folded card (confronted with your cartoon or illustration), the recipient of the card immediately recognizes himself or herself. He or she (!) is a Forgetful person who tends to forget everything. Birthdays, wedding anniversarys, keys, wallet, mobile phone, picking up kids from school, homework, school books, business appointments, etc. Somebody (the card sender) wants to make a statement. like: "You forgot my birthday, do not forget it again!" or you forgot our wedding anniversary it made me very sad, please don't forget it again." or you should really do something about your forgetfulness, because (the card sender) suffers, buy a calendar!"

Style:
- Strong symbolism is the key;
- Cartoonesk, serious but fun;
- Wordless/pantomime cartoon.

Bonus points
Sexe/gender neutral (if chosen otherwise, bonus for female + male version in one entry)

Tip:
Including the effect of the behavior/foul.

Multiple winners:
It is our intention to appoint multiple winning designs (max 7). All depends on sufficient quality and variety.

Have fun!

Due to concept, please present illustration portrait orientated (as opposed to landscape orientated).

High quality vector art,: Adobe illustrator (.ai), RGB or Photoshop (.psd)




Have fun!

      This really sucks, if the "Designer" or "Illustrator" in this case seems to be swatisuhag1 is downloading the arts and make them pass as its own, this should be rejected and reported. We've been working hard to deliver great and authentic designs, so it's not fair if you are just downloading random designs and just posting them here. It's not fair for us and either the contest's holder.

      If you can prove that those designs are yours, great they are beautiful and you should win some of the prices. But if they are not, You should get reported.

      Patrick1967, please check all the contests you have open where swatisuhag1 has entered illustrations, there's another user exposing all the links from where this person has been downloading the art, If this is true that's not fair for you or for us, because we are working to deliver to you authentic and original design that only you are going to be able to use.
