Thumbs up $75 contest.. Advertisement for Insurance Site

Greetings, everyone!

I'm a longtime lurker, first-time poster. The talent at on these forums is overwhelmingly creative so I figured this would be a great outlet to get some advertisements created. The concept for this project isn't set, I'm open to ideas.

Also, the winner will have the opportunity to create some additional pieces for us.

Here's the project:

The goal... create a professional, creative, catchy ad to drive insurance traffic to our websites when they open.

I need a 300 x 250 advertisement created.

It is for our insurance agency website. We do Life, Health, Disability, Senior, etc... and also feature free instant quotes for insurance, a referral rewards program, etc. We're trying to modernize our business and take advantage of the power of the internet.


Company: Demarest & Associates
Slogan: Life Changes. Be Prepared.

Attached is our logo.

I'd like some sort of advertisement with a couple of animals... say a zebra and peacock... then they change around and are swapped.. the peacock has zebra stripes the zebra has feathers... or something along those lines. Somewhere would be the slogan about "Life Changes. Be Prepared".. involving how changes can be unexpected... case in point.

However this should be done.. whether a gif, flash, etc... you decide.

I'm not entirely certain. I hope that the unique creativity here from some of you can infuse new ideas and life into these ads. I'm open to any ideas.

The contest will run until September 26th, 2009.

Winner will receive $75 via paypal.


Please PM me if you would like more information or to discuss details.

Thanks!

If nobody is interested, could you fill me in on why this isn't getting much interest?

I'm just curious. I need to get some ads created and thought this might be a good place to find some creative talent.

Thanks!

Hey there PALifeQuotes and welcome to V7N (:

I'm not sure why there's no interest in your contest however I can say, from doing this type of work, it involves more than just creating a single image like a header or logo.

You're asking for animation, multiple images as well as coding (flash) and then waiting to be judged and possibly not get paid.

Although I, and others here, do this type of work; I for one, would never do it for $75. You might be better off hiring someone to do this as a service and putting an actual budget together. Getting in contact with the artist, directly, so you can both hash out the details and pitch ideas to get the best possible product is really the best method.

Contests are great but there is a limit to the amount of work someone will do for free. Winning is never guaranteed so we do it for free and *hope* to win.

Good luck!

Hi,

I'm going to take a "chance" on you and give your contest a go. I'm currently majoring in web/graphics design in college and My major focus this semester is Flash. I'm well knowledge in actionscript so your specifications shouldn't be hard to do.

As 3ncryptabl3_lick said and I'll fully agree this type of work never goes for $75 but I'm building a portfolio. I will have it done before your deadline but I wont do any revisions unless you are buying it.

Thanks,
Michaela

3ncryptabl3_lick, Thank you for the clarification. I didn't even think about the concept that it would be a bit of work.. without a guarantee. Now I see it from the other perspective. I do think you are absolutely right however.

Do you feel a basic image that is just 1 image/no animation type of ad would garner more attention for a contest?


michaela
, I appreciate your desire and interest to create a concept. I look forward to seeing what you come up with, and should it be what I'm looking for, we will then discuss further business.

Thank you both!

The best thing to do would be to simply embed the swf in a webpage or blog then link to the page.

Although on zshare, its already embedded in the page and plays so it should be fine. -It can also be zipped up and posted here - the attachment feature supports zip.

Good job Michaela.

Michaela,

Wonderful work. I will contact you via PM to discuss what we can do further for compensation. It's very neat to be able to see my idea in action. I didn't think it could be done.. the whole switching of animals.

Thank you for taking the time to complete this!

Yes, seeing how there isn't anyone else entering it we can close it. I will be talking with Michaela to see if we can adjust a few things, and if we can he will be awarded the prize. He did a great job and brought my idea into fruition.

I appreciate any interest and help you all have had in this contest.

Look for another contest offer to go up in the near future. I have a couple more projects I need taken care of.

Thanks everyone!
