eejits Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 Hey there guys, Just back from my holidays and I've been given the chance to advertise my eejits at a local creative festival/event. They want a couple of pop up banners to form part of the background as people walk through from one area to the next. So.... here's my first pop at my pop up banner. Putting it up here for comment, criticism and (another word beginning with c) Whaddya think?!?

My Strawberry Monkey Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 Love it, still can see this a cartoon. Something simple to start of with, maybe a 15 sec sketch. peter 1 Quote About me: Trainer at Apple, Freelance Video Editor, Motion Graphics Artist, Website Designer, Photographer.

eejits Posted July 21, 2015 Author Posted July 21, 2015 Thanks. As a design, do you like it? Anything you think I can do to make it better....? (Man, I'm rubbish at self promotion) I'm gonna make another one of a similar design with another creature featured in the middle. I'm still tweaking.

Staff MattP Posted July 22, 2015 Staff Posted July 22, 2015 I think this looks great - really like the background colour and the way that it works well with your colourful creatures :) I also like the bevel/embossed frames around each character. How are you doing with that book? My son's 2 and a half now, so you've only got a few years before I intend to be buying it for us to read! :D peter and eejits 2 Quote
eejits Posted July 22, 2015 Author Posted July 22, 2015 Thanks guys. I'll get crackin' on with the second one (once I finsh the real life job....booooo). Need to get these to the printers toot sweet. Matt: The book is coming along nicely. Wrote another chapter whilst on holiday and am having a lot of fun doing it. Should be finished by the time your son is 7 or so!! It's hard work trying to squeeze in fart jokes (or should that be squeeze out). My daughter read what I had recently written and had a big smile on her face. Which is a good sign. She also looked at me and asked what goes on in my head?! haha! George MattP 1 Quote eejits: curious creatures with curious ideas - www.eejits-online.co.uk SUPPORT eejits on PATREON.

peter Posted July 24, 2015 Posted July 24, 2015 Wow! You've arrived! :D :D :D Where can I download the app? Animate those icons, NOW! C word..? Hmm: Champagne, corker, celebrate. Oh yeah, congratulations. Seriously, you've created a wonderful template. Just choose a different Eejit, with a different complementary background and don't forget to include the signage info on the poster: parking/food/toilets/first aid/way in/way out etc. This would look absolutely stunning as a feather flag... I think you know which Eejit would be the best for the first aid, hint hint.

eejits Posted July 24, 2015 Author Posted July 24, 2015 Wow.... thanks man. It's nothing as major as you think. Just a local thing. A couple of bits of background dressing that's all! But you're right, it would look ace on a feather flag thingee. Using that design as the template, here is it's partner (I had to obviously use the tall eejits to fit the format): Quote eejits: curious creatures with curious ideas - www.eejits-online.co.uk SUPPORT eejits on PATREON.

peter Posted July 24, 2015 Posted July 24, 2015 Glad you liked it lad! Really impressed with the fact that the feather flags have tickled your fancy. I've just found this site, that has templates for all flag sizes that are in vector formats. :D :ph34r: :lol: http://www.quinnflags.com/VectorTemplates.asp They also have a Pantone swatch on their site.

cheshiredesigner Posted July 25, 2015 Posted July 25, 2015 Hi George, the banners look great! Eye-catching images and a large bold header without lots of text. should do the job perfectly-hope it goes well! Gary eejits 1 Quote Please have a look at my graphic design and illustration website and my art and design blog
eejits Posted July 25, 2015 Author Posted July 25, 2015 Hi Gary, Thanks for the compliment. I may be able to draw creatures but I don't think I'm as good with the graphic design stuff. Nice to know it's gonna do what I intended. Thanks, George Quote eejits: curious creatures with curious ideas - www.eejits-online.co.uk SUPPORT eejits on PATREON.

Staff MEB Posted July 25, 2015 Staff Posted July 25, 2015 Hi George, Your work speaks for itself ^_^ I don't think you have to worry too much about the design... If anything i would change the position of the main figure. Since you have plenty of colourful and detailed eejits behind it, the middle is a little too busy...

eejits Posted July 25, 2015 Author Posted July 25, 2015 Cheers MEB You make some good points. I'll bear it in mind for the next version as these pair are off to the printers.
