Contest Brief

Hello Freelancers. We are looking for a creative graphic designer to create new artwork for a pair of multi-shot fireworks. This contest requires the creation of two new graphics, each one for a different box. Here are some details about these items:

Multi-shot A: "Hey Y'all!"
Multi-shot B: "Watch This!"

Design Theme: A country boy's famous last words, " Hey yall! Watch this" just before he sets off a load of fireworks.

Product Demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-avB8EVdnU

Size: 5" wide x 5" deep x 7" high

We are giving you freelancers a lot of creative freedom for these two artworks but we have some stricter expectations than previous contest. The names of both items play off each other. We are really looking for someone to do some character design work for these two pieces and tie them together. See examples below. Simple stock graphics are not going to cut it!

I have attached an AI file that contains the the layout for these boxes. You must use this file for both designs. There are logos and warning labels that must stay in place.

The artwork must be in CMYK format, not RGB

I do not want designs that are primarily copy and pastes of cliparts/stock art.
I need a design that achieves a good cohesive look. Not a mix match image of stock art and default fonts.

You have blank canvas to design something that is just awesome. We have a design goal in mind but its hard to put this goal into words so I will do my best to show you what we we like. Here are some examples of artwork we like.

I will reject entries that are primarily copy and pastes of cliparts/stock art.
I will reject entries with designs that do not achieve a good cohesive look.

How do I maintain a cohesive looking design?
- Do not use more than 2 fonts and font styles.
- Do not mix 2D artwork with 3D artwork.
- Do not use different size and different angle drop shadows.
- Do not use a random mix clip art or stock art

I was updating my boss on the progress of this. I hadn't thought of this yet but it is an issue. He does not want artwork showing someone holding fireworks in hand. This is a major safety issue. He does not want to give anyone the impression that holding them is a good idea. Make sense?
