BillboardZ contest

Hello Survivors,
Spring is here, and since the weather might allow us to wear short sleeves again and drink some excellent beverages outside, this contest fits perfectly!
Last year, you got the option to "graffiti" on our Livonia wall. This year, we ask you to create a billboard promoting DayZ's official food or clothing. And to give a chance to those who have great ideas but do not have graphic design skills, we also accept concept pitches!

Rules

• Send your submission (pick one option only)
  • by Twitter DM (make sure we confirm receive)
  • tweet us using #DayZBoard
  • post your submission into this thread
  • post your submission on Facebook under the announcement post
• Deadline - 9 April 2023
• Theme: DayZ official items (food/clothes only)
• Format: final piece (billboard) in png 2048x1024 and 2x1 aspect ratio, pitches/concept art: visible sketch with detailed info  
• No server/channel etc. advertising 
• If you use letters, it needs to be clearly visible what is written there
• Nothing vulgar/political
• Respect copyright rules
• The image must not violate the game rules and the EULA.

Prizes:

• 1st place: Billboard placed in the game + Livonia code + DayZ t-shirt + Livonia t-shirt + DayZ This is your story cup
• 2nd place: Livonia code + DayZ t-shirt + Livonia t-shirt + DayZ This is your story cup
• 3rd place: Livonia code + DayZ t-shirt or Livonia t-shirt + DayZ This is your story cup

Winners will be picked internally.

Will the billboards be displayed in-game on both Livonia & Chernarus?

Take your pick!

Hi, I can´t confirm that yet. I guess it also depends on the art (and its no problem to adjust it to fit the map concept if needed)

Does anyone know a good resource for high-quality renders of in-game products?

I get the feeling that the company doesn’t want billboards advertising the game WITHIN the game. That’s about as immersion breaking as it gets.  
 

You put Dylan Thomas poetry on your billboards.  Kek. Pretty sure he’s rolling in his grave right now. 

Fabio’s submission looks great. Classic billboard. Realistic marketing and product placement. Composition extends beyond the frame. Bold colors. Just enough words and the right size to read them as you drive past. Hard to miss. An advertisement of something that’s advertised often. Chernarus needs more like that. 

Certainly there's plenty of room for in-game item adverts. Snacks, drinks or a line of clothing. Could be a "brand" poster, for company that makes a selection of these. 

But here's my idea: 
A variant of any existing (or new) poster that has emergency information slapped on. Like directions to evac site, information about ongoing military and police activity, directives for civilians or something like that, which would add a bit more lore surrounding the spread of the infection. 

 

 

Both a final piece and general concept. Either way, I think these lovely jackets deserve an advertisement!

Image was made by me in Photoshop, I also made the custom Snow Buddy logo myself. 😊

A finalização de Fabio parece ótima. Quadro de avisos clássico. Marketing realista e colocação de produtos. A composição se estende além do quadro. Cores fortes. Apenas palavras suficientes e o tamanho certo para lê-las enquanto você passa. Difícil de perder. Um anúncio de algo que é anunciado com frequência. Chernarus precisa de mais assim. 

Thanks!!

When is the winner drawn ?

Hello, the winners will be known this week. 🙂 

Damn, I didn’t get a chance to design something. And it’s what I do for a living, I’m a senior graphic designer lol.

I will announce the winners on the forum within today. I apologize for the delay. It was really hard as there were so many great entries!

Dear Survivors,

Thank you all for participating in our BillboardZ contest! It was a tough decision with so many great entries!

Since we could not agree on what billboard should make it into the game, we decided to use all 3 of them!

We sure think they all deserve it!

The winners are:
Lacusthi (Twitter)

Vortexflp89 (Twitter)

Siska Photography & Design (Facebook)

Congratulations! We will reach out to you soon!
Some of the best submissions will be published in Community Spotlight next week.
