Howie Green (sorry about posting so late)

so there you have it. a ton of solid entries. it's gonna be tough to decide which one will become a part of Mini 10-Doh! Series2. i have to choose the one that fits best with the other 15 designs in Series2 and will be having a small group of friends help with that. i hope to have a decision by Monday Feb 11th.

thanks to everyone that participated. i think the turnout was great. i look forward to doing it again in the future.

MINI 10-DOH! SERIES 2 CONTEST!!!

so, i guess this is officially announcing Mini 10-Doh! Series2 as well as kicking off the contest. i'll be announcing the artist line up for Series2 soon.

the grey Mini 10-Doh! is your blank canvas. you'll have the front and back label area to put your artwork. below are more contest guidelines.

Figure info

-Mini 10-Doh! 3.5" blind box figure.

-full color labels on front and back.

-grey figure with standard eye deco.

Label Art Ideas

-combine your brand or style with a classic video game.

-create a fake game based on one of your characters or brands.

What I would need from you.
-Illustrator or 300dpi Photoshop files of the labels. jpeg template available on this blog. Email me if you need an AI file or PSD file.

-all entries must be submitted on the template.

-files should be named as follows- [yourname]_[figurename].AI ---- ie:natemitchell_soanalog.AI

Compensation
-1 complete set of Series2. (16 figures)
-1 solid case pack of your design. (20 figures)

Things to be aware of.

-avoid copyright infringement, only use your original artwork.

-make it somewhat family friendly.

-remember the title at the top of the front label should be upside down. 

-make sure the artwork goes all the way to the "bleed" guideline.

-the labels are pretty tiny. do a test print to make sure it will be legible.

-feel free to share your progress and final submissions through social media. please tag @squidkidsink, so i can see it as well.

this is the blank template

this is what a final entry should look like. you don't have to put the figure name at the top, but make sure the file is named correctly.

the contest runs from Jan 1st-31st. all entries must be emailed to nate.squidkidsink@gmail.com by midnight Jan 31st. one winner will be chosen by March 1st, hopefully sooner. all art work remains property of each artist, but i will be using the winning art on packaging and for promotions. you can email me with any questions or concerns about the contest.
