Hi, Stephen
could you explain what elements should the banner contain? and what it sizes?

The winning designer will get only US$93.5 ($110 -15%)
could you combine all rewards into one prize, or increase the first prize?
For now, it looks like this:
1st place - US$110
2nd place - US$100
3rd place - US$100
Total - US$310

here is some fees info

HEADER FONT

TREBUCHET MS
400 WEIGHT / REGULAR
CHARACTER SPACING -1% TO - 4% (COMPACTED)
ALL CAPS

TYPICALLY DARK BLUE, SOMETIMES PINK. CAN BE USED AS A CUT-OUT FOR BANNER, FB POSTS.

SEE FILE FOR EXAMPLE.

FYI: ALL EXTERNAL LINKS TO WHITEBOARD, GRAPHICS, FILES, ETC CAN BE FOUND IN PROJECT BRIEF. EVEN IF LINKS WERE REMOVED IN THESE THREADS.

A designer could win all three prizes, if their designs are all amazing. I'd like the flexibility to award 2nd and 3rd place prizes to designers who have one element that is also prize worthy.

Hi, Stephen
is it acceptable to use other fonts besides TREBUCHET MS? More expressive ones (that relate to graffiti, punk rock, space-age).
Because TREBUCHET MS looks very corporate.

I think I understood your brief. Please have a look at (#25393159) and let me know whether I got it right or misunderstood. Thanks.
