Design A Holo-Screen Advert

[TiberiusMaximus]

I’m certainly no graphic designer, but I would like to get involved. Are there any stock assets available to use, for us less talented CMDRs? Such as Elite universe Corporation logos e.g. Sirius. I think I have a decent eye for these things (I’ve won a few photography competitions), I just can’t render or design logos and emblems myself.

• No copyrighted material/fonts to be included in the ad.

Are there any fonts Frontier already has licenses for, that we can use in this 'Design a Holo-Screen Adverts'?

Belted out a quick entry this arvo... hic!

The image is black (to take the game background) and the message in the centre (two lines) is the 3D projection.

Keep it classic-ish.

Thats a fantastic idea! Im curious to see all the adds!
First thing that came to my mind lol

Another quick bash. Image background with two lines in the centre for 3D projection.

Hi CMDR Schlack,
(It'd also be confusing to new commanders looking for a minor faction that may very well not exist in 3320. )

Uh - given that we now rule 100 stations. . .

Sure - sixteen years is a long time, but I reckon we'll still be here even if you aren't.

I started playing with this photo as a joke ..... but maybe it has merit ?

This is for Elite: Dangerous. As far as I am aware, they have not partnered with No Mans Sky.

Hmm, someone could do an advert for the new Jurassic Park opening on Ross 128 B 4 or whatever, that'd be cool. Or a new theme coaster park based on Planet Coaster...

Go meta and advertise for your other games within your game

This is a great idea! Well done, Frontier! I look forward to seeing what people come up with. Best of luck everyone! [up]

The 'YOUR AD HERE' ad was pretty good.

Already working on one. Sort of assumed that was what they wanted...

It's really too bad Adobe/Macromedia FLASH! is dead... This platform should not be reduced to static images with 'interference patterns'. Static imagery is so 20th Century... What year is it again, in-game?

soo what is the reward of this contest?! Free art for frontier?

I refuse to have anything I subscribe described as art !!

edit: in answer to the licensed font question, I think FDev use Eurostile LT Condensed quite a lot

[Qohen Leth]

The main Elite font is Eurostile (purchase, or Adobe TypeKit), the numbers are Telegrama (free) and the general text (missions, messages etc.) is Sintony (free Google font).

This is a great idea.

It's always seemed a little odd seeing the exact same two or three ads at stations everywhere, throwing it open to the community to design more is a lovely plan.


I don't have the talent to participate, but I thoroughly approve.

Would it be a good idea for FD to state the typefaces we can use? It would simplify a lot of potential problems later.

I wouldn't let it stop you entering though; the competition OP reserves the right to redo artwork.
Hopefully if your wording / idea gets used - that should still earn a competiton winner credit?

Anyway, I've been having fun musing on this stuff at coffee times.

Months of hauling, crying blood? ~ might be better.

ps. pinch any of mine and do them better, please!
