Competition Details.
The Competition is open imidiately and will run until Wedneday April 21st 2010.
The Revolutionary Judging System.
I have invented a revolutionary but fair judging system. The Judging will comence once the competition is closed, 12 finalists will be selected. First it will go to a public poll for 7 days, once that is completed each percentage point will be counted as 1 point. Then the 12 design will go in front of a panel of 3 judges, with 2 judges alocated 15 points and myself alocated 20 points to spread amongst the 12 (50 points in total). These points can go to as many or as few finalists (points can be split in half).
So for example if a finalist finishes with 12.6% in the poll they will be on 12.6 points. Then once it is judged by the experts the points will be added up and the winner announced. In the case above for example, if the finalist is on 12.6 + 2.5 from Judge 1 + 6 from Judge 2 + 5 from Judge 3 = 26.1 Total Points.
The Design Brife.
Task 1:
- You are to come up with the name for a new football team.
- Once you have picked the name it will be time to chose team colours (2-3 are recomended, but you are welcome to use as many as you like).
- Now its time to design the team logo (Try not to go over the top the best designs are always clean cut and simple).
Task 2:
- You are to design a 'Home' and 'Away' strip for your team. If you would like to include a 'Clash' you may, but it's completely optionl.
- Each 'Home' and 'Away' must contain a Guernsey, Shorts and Socks. Tip: Make sure the 'Away Strip' Guernsey is distinctly different to the 'Home Strip' with out being completely diffrent (make it look like they belong together).
- Guernseys are to have an AFL logo on the left side of the chest and a sponsor on the right, on the back you are to have a player number and sponsor.
Task 3:
- Create a presentation layout to present the Club name, Club logo, Identify your team colours, your 'Home' and 'Away' strips and your Profile Name/Logo. (All tasks to be submitted on 1 page as 1 image).
Some Tips
Well a few tips are, Take some inspiration of your local sports team (doesnt have to be AFL), maybe you could yous your suburb or state in the name or even the suburb you wer raised in, maybe look at your state flag or emblem, you could take ideas from all codes of sport, use some of your favorite colours, bring back some designs from the VFL in the 70's, 80's and 90's but put a modern twist on it.
Get Creative
Designs dont have to be traditional, the can be creative and inovative, Remember the way you present is also taken in to concideration. So yous a nice clean layout or even somthing really creative could do the trick its all up to you guys.
Programs
Paint can be used but I personally would recomend using Photoshop or Illustrator if you can get your hands. If you guys wanna PM each other and 'lend' copies of PS between yourselfs, feel free to.
If you dont know how to use Photoshop/Illustrator their are plenty of online Tutorials, that cover just about every thing you need to know. So take advantage of them they are really good guids.
Templates
If you can make your own I would recomend it but for thoes who arent as skilled at PS there are a couple of links tho some templates a couple of the other bouys have made. Feel free to use them even just 2 get a few ideas.

'Less is more' (... Most of the time, but not always).
A great design tip by the great Architect, Mies van der Rohe, 'less is more' meaning minimal design was in his eyes the best way to design. But i dont want to see a plain white Gurnsey. This tip is not for every 1 and going over the top can sometimes (but not often) pay off.
