Contest Brief

Hi everyone,

This competition is about creating an illustration for the cover album of an Australian music artist.

Type of music
» pop-rock, synth based
» targeted to 18-35 (youth / young adults)
» audience is in Australia and is South East Asia (Singapore, Indonesia, etc)
» the first single is called "Hands Raised Up"

Artistic direction = Digital Landscape
» needs to feature a wide landscape (real or imaginary)
» needs to make us feel like we (as humans) are small compare to the greatest of the earth
» needs to have a bit of a futuristic / science-fiction kind of feel (but not too much)
» can be a mix of techniques (photo/3d/single lines, etc.)
» no "hands raised" as such but feel free to feature human representation(s)
» there is a lot of mountains in the examples provided, but it can also be the ocean (see "the mission" example). Something "greatest" than us.

Specs
» the final format will be square (31.43 cm @ $300 dpi)
» do not write anything on the illustration - no title, nothing. This will be done at a later stage.

Attached are some examples of album covers that are the styles and benchmark I am after.

The musician has shortlisted 2 entries: #11 and #27
He likes them equally so he is going to listen to the music again before deciding.
Well done for everyone else who submitted a design.
I will award the contest very soon.

  Hi licarto, unfortunately, all the tracks are currently being mixed, so I haven't had a chance to get a file from the artist. If I receive it on time I will post it!

Sorry, but I really don't think you're going to get many *serious* attempts at that price level. Because no one is even guaranteed of winning. I would raise it to $50.
