Armada Board Competition

Postby sq225917 » Wed Aug 19, 2009 9:38 am

THE COMPETITIONS JUST KEEP ON COMING.

No sooner does one competition end then the next one starts. The response to the Nemesis NXG sticker competition was so great that we thought we'd give two lucky entrants the chance to win a replacement for their current board from the upcoming Armada board range.

Hand made in one of the finest Snowboard factories in Europe, the Armada boards come with a new Supremo Wood Core and ABS Flex-Rail construction and will be setting sail soon for a beach near you.

The competition is simple, come up with the best design that you can to stand the best chance of winning. There are some limitations on the design detailed below.

-Screen print graphic application is being used- minimum line thickness is 2mm

-Five colour print only, black and white each count as one colour.

-Transparency is allowed, with a wood core as good looking as the Supremo we'd be crazy not to show it off.

-Large flat blocks of single colour are not allowed; keep the largest single continuous colour area below 20x20cm.

-It has to have the fish on the bottom, of course.

-It needs to say Armada somewhere on the top.

-All submissions should be 140 x 41 aspect ratio

-It needs to rock.

Some of the detail areas on the board are shown below with examples of what can be done with the screen print application.

There is currently no closing date for entries to this competition, you really are helping to design the graphics this time round.

Usually I'd lean away from someone who has just won another comp, but if you win you win, I don't choose the winners we have a panel of judges.

CRAZY CHRIS' ARMADA BOARD DESIGN

Postby CrazyChrisKites » Tue Aug 25, 2009 12:14 pm

Crazy Chris here with my DEBUT entry Design into the BEST competition for the ARMADA BOARD. The inspiration from the design came from a satellite image of Hurricane Charlie, while thinking of the meaning of ARMADA.

So I thought, why not make a graphic showing a FLEET of BEST FLYING FISH SPINNING OUT THE EYE OF A HURRICANE?

3 colors on top: red, black, transparent
4 colors on bottom: white, blue, red, black

Simple but WAY COOL CONCEPT!

DO WE HAVE A WINNER HERE???

DO WE HAVE A WINNER?

DRUM ROLL PLEASE...............


~If you guys don't make this board... I will.

Crazy Chris :grin:
