Full Version: Ns Promo Flier
Unknown Worlds Forums > Natural Selection 2 > NS2 E-Team
Scythe
I'm looking for a flier I can print out, about 50mm square, for distribution around my mate's college to promote NS. I plan to print out about a hundred of them, roughly 24 per a4 page, and pin them to corkboards, slip under doors, poke into letterboxes... that kind of thing. I did the same thing with a dilbert comic a couple months ago and the results were very interesting.

Criteria:


  • Have the heading "Natural Selection" at the top.
  • No more than 50mm x 50mm
  • Black and white. (Almost crucial. I could print out a lesser number of colour ones.)
  • Includes a marine and an alien.
  • Has some kind of catchy motto. ALA "It's time to evolve".
  • Possibly have room for the insertion of an IP of the computer that will be hosting the NS2.0 install and/or server.
  • Be readable.


Most of the people at this college play CS now so bonus points for tying in some kind of CS pwnage.

I know there are a lot of talented artists in here. Gogogogogo!

Wow. Those are really good.

Can we get a color one of the first flier though? I'd make that my CS spray, definately.

Great idea, the flier spray thing.
Power-Line

I have no probs with you using the images PowerLine, they came out nice. I actually started work on one but stopped because I've been running around all day. I was goin to use the Badazz Marine pic from my site. I have no probs with anyone editing my stuff just let me know by pm, post or something.
Power-Line
thanks man, i have alot of respect for you as an artist, i love your work, its wonderfull.
Scythe
I tried printing out CaL_FiN's one as a test. It didn't turn out too well. The text at the top and bottom is too fuzzy to be readable. It would be great if you could redo it with a sharper font. The others look great printed, especially the one with the skulk's jaws.

Power-Line: Carbon14's your man. He made a set of sigs for our clan. Pretty cool no?

Here's a darker one:

Please note that the image is at 500x500 pixels because the resolution is at 100 px/cm. Also, the image is black and white, not grayscale (I'm not sure which one you wanted). Setting a high resolution would be the best way to prevent a pixelated mess while printing, in my opinion. There is space underneath the onos to allow for an IP address or something.. Was I supposed to put NS.org on there anywhere?

The image comes from the NS media pack, I just did composition work. Hope you like it.
Scythe
Goodgood!

All these are looking nice! I've got two pages printed out and ready to cut up. Some of calfin's one, a few of skinny's pistol one, some of Power-Line's skulk mouth shot and four bigger versions of mikachu's. All look very nice.

If I could ask just one more thing of calfin: Could you release a higher-res version? About the same size of mikachu's. They look much better printed on my el-crappo printer when they've been scaled down.

I apologise for using the scetch of the skulk without the original artists permission

I'm currently re-working the whole image.

I made that one at 50 x 50... I am starting again and 500 x 500 with rendered images instead... I'll post it soon smile.gif

Holy thread archeology batman! It occurred to me the other day that this thread would be perfect for inclusion amongst the ideas in the NS2 E-Team forum. Fortunately I saved a few of the NS fliers created:









Gogo! Let's see what people can create after four years of technological progress! I demand cyber-jetpack fliers damnit.

And here's the B&W version:



And here's the the NS2 text from the site header banner, sans background. For your own use:
