Contest Brief

Hi there,

thank you for reading this brief.

I need an illustration that is a modeled after the image you can see at http://mf.ly/3fd.

The image illustrates the concept of "staying inside the message house", which means adhering to a set of key messages that are presented on a sheet of paper, inside the outline of a house.

The context of this is communications and PR, and increasing messaging discipline within an organization.

I want to keep the elements of the house, the megaphone, and the one person inside the house.

What I aim to change is the emotional quality of the current illustration.

The current illustration feels alarmist and anxious.

I want the image to come across as joyful, happy, and optimistic.

I like the look and feel of this illustration: http://mf.ly/mco

At http://mf.ly/qpx you can read a draft of the news release that the illustration will be included with. My hope is to have an illustration that is so attractive that media will be more likely to run a story (that uses the illustration). Please read the draft release because it will make you familiar with the context in which the illustration will be used. It might give you ideas. I'm open to any ideas you might have, even if they involve changing some of the parameters in this brief.

Please do not use any stock images. I need the final files in Adobe Illustrator format.

I'm looking forward to your creation and ideas.

Best,
Marc.

    @pyramidsgraphics: I like this. I wonder if the figure could be made to look a bit more adult?

    @elinavarro: Hi there. Thank you for creating this. I like it. Might it be possible to have a figure that is not a white anglo-looking man? Maybe a white or non-white woman?

    @nycjob, thank you for your submission. While an optimistic look and feel is called for, it still has to be compatible with a business context. This face to me looks a bit like a clown.

    Re entry #1 : Hi Paulo, thank you for your quick submission. The house looks a too old-fashioned and quaint. And the person seems a bit overweight... This context of this is business, so a more business-like looking, optimistic person would be better. Thanks again for your effort.
