Don't believe everything that the movies tell you about technology. There's not going to be a Cylon uprising, you don't have to choose between the red pill and blue pill, the Governor of California is not going to terminate us, we need not fear the breasts of the fembots and machines aren't going to poison our asses with poisonous gases.
Robots are our friends, not foe. Affirmative.
And we're depending on all of you to demonstrate this in our current design challenge: "People and Robots: Best Friends Forever". Think C3PO and Luke, Bender and Fry, Johnny Five and Ally Sheedy, Data and Geordi. Imagine Wall-E coming by to clean your living room every week. You get the idea.
This design challenge is the second phase of our community art project done in collaboration with Mozilla, the makers of Firefox. Mozilla products are made by a global community, who sincerely believe in the power of technology, browsers and robots to enrich people's lives.
The very creative, non-cyborg folk at Studio Number One (the design agency founded by Shepard Fairey) will be helping us pick the winners.
Some things to know before you start:- Make your design about technology making people's lives better. Including robots is good too.
- Designs do not need to include the Firefox logo in the design
- Designs do not need to be composited onto a device (unless you really want to).
- Winning designs will be made into Laptop Art, iPhone Art, Desktop Wallpapers, iPhone Wallpapers, Firefox Personas, Firefox t-shirts and receive a featured spot in the Mozilla Creative Collective (launching shortly).
$1000 cash

we don’t have a hard and fast rule on this… in general we do accept multiple entries. but if we are getting tons of submissions we may be less likely to accept multiple and the higher the quality the more likely we are to accept multiple. and we may stagger when we put them into the voting gallery… so as not to flood it with one artist. |

wcm Just submit your art in one size and we’ll take care of the rest! The bigger the better of course, so it can scale nicely across all our sizes. Thanks! |

I’m with Mike, I’d hate to work on a design and have it turn out to be too small or something, is there a min. size we should keep in mind? |

Re: image size Laptop is the biggest skin the design will be printed on, so I think it’s safe to say it should be as big as a laptop skin (15×10 inches) |

Do we have to upload them already on the template? |
created over 2 years ago
|
|
|
You don’t have to composite your art for this contest (unless you really want to), so no need for the template. You can just upload a jpeg of your art at the right dimensions here: http://www.infectious.com/submissions/people_robots/get_started and if it’s a winner we’ll work with you to translate it into different device skins. Best of luck! |

“Designs do not need to include the Firefox logo in the design” Also you say 650 x (up to) 800 px, but I assume this is for the “preview” version, for upload purposes. 300 dpi is a given, but how big should we make the original? Sorry I’m new to this :> |

Hi vDue. Let me double check about the logo quickly. Can you make the original art at 10″ × 15″ at 300 dpi please. Thanks! |

Hi again vDue. You can include the logo if you’d like. |

Hi all! I am new here and just submitted my first ever entry! Yea! Is really 300dpi the rule? I didn’t see that anywhere in the size restrictions. |
created over 2 years ago

|
|
Hi texasoasis – you need to have the final art at 300 dpi in case it is selected as a winner. 300 dpi and 10″ × 15″ so that we can make laptop skins (and smaller device skins) with winning art. The submissions in the voting gallery are a much lower resolution for the web and just for preview purposes. Vectored art is good too! |

It doesn’t make sense that it should be 10″ × 15″ for a laptop. Laptop’s are usually widescreen. Sure you don’t mean 15″ × 10″ ? |

Admin Joey, I was not allowed to submit my first entry, but I am confused once again because, Is it that I should use more graphic filters and funkify the art more to qualify? Thanks! T/O |

Texasoasis – it probably means that the art is not quite what Infectious is looking for style-wise or standard-wise when this happens. Sorry about that, we appreciate it’s a subjective process. We recommend putting your art into the critique section to get some feedback from the community at large in this kind of instance. It will give you a pretty good gauge about what the community thinks about it and whether it will score well if it gets accepted into the main voting gallery. assif – thanks for the heads up. We’ll look into it for you Happy weekend all! |
