Thank you for the invite, looks like an interesting project. Any ideas on your mind, beside the info on the brief?
Best regards

Thanks for the invite, check my submitted original artwork inspired by Shepard Fairey.

After looking at the first designs, I''m posting some more information that might be helpful. First of all, thanks to everyone for taking the lead from Russian Propaganda/Constructivism posters and Shepard Fairey (very important and much appreciated!)


* Don''t be afraid to be very intricate and adorn with lots of details (Shepard is great at this.)

* Please also focus on line art as the primary image source. It''s cool to grunge up the texture (but not necessary), however, make sure the images start as crisp line art. The exception to this (there are always exceptions), are half-tone photographic images as used in classic Russian Constructivist posters. But if you''re debating, use line art.

* Borders are much appreciated. If the entire poster can be contained as an intricate "emblem" that would be cool. (again, this is not necessary depending on the final image, but if you''re debating about emblematic borders versus no borders, put them in!) But as always, strong design is more important than borders.

* If your design could use additional text elements, you can use the following: "Remix, Remake, Reimagine"

* Don''t be afraid of non-music imagery. Of course, because of the nature of the project, music imagery is appreciated. But if you have an idea for an image that''s not explicitly music, that''s cool too if it conveys attitude, boldness, hip, propaganda, etc. Ideally, blending music and non-music would be ideal.

Hopefully, that''s helpful!

Another word if you need one for a text element would be RECONSTRUCT. 


i.e. REMIX - RECONSTRUCT - REIMAGINE - REMAKE (or variations)

Hi there,

I was just wondering if you could explain the product in a little more detail. Does it mix just audio, or the video as well, or both, etc. Any other information would be usefull too.

Thanks

The product allows you to remix the audio of the song and the music video at the same time. You touch different elements on the iPad and the music and video changes simultaneously. You can also save your own mixes and share them with others.

I should clarify that I am looking for designs that are inspired by Shepard Fairey''s later work (when he was most inspired by Russian Constructivism.) Although I personally like his early work also (the Andre the Giant era work), for this project, we''re looking for the Russian Constructivist inspired work.

After seeing the great designs coming through, I''m realizing that I''ve now settled on a color palette that would work best for our iPad App. Please submit all future designs with the four colors of red, grey, black and white. Thanks!
