Earlier this year I was inspired by fellow board member Platinum_Angel to play with the layout of Redemption cards. You can see a couple examples here. (http://www.cactusgamedesign.com/message_boards/index.php?topic=16229.msg253788#msg253788)
I'd like to see what kind of card layout ideas the Redemption community can come up with. To provide some incentive I'm going to mail the winner of this contest one free card pack of Thesaurus ex Preteritus when it's released!
Here are the rules:
All submissions must be remakes of original Redemption cards. Brigade, abilities and stats stay the same. You may use alternate art or the original art. The idea is to see what you can do with the card layout. Sorry, no new cards ideas for this contest.
I would really like to see your ideas but understand that not everyone has photoshop. Please leave a message here if you'd like help from one of the many talented graphic artists on these boards.***
Limit of 2 entries per participant.
Minimum of 5 participants required before a Thesaurus ex Preteritus card pack will be awarded.
If there are 10 or more participants I'll give away 2 packs of TexP! (one to each of the top 2 vote getters)
All entries must be received prior to the first day of Nationals.
When you complete your image, send me a link to (or copy of) the image. Do not post the image here. After the deadline I will post the images for board members to vote on the best design.
***For those with photoshop talent - I'm willing to send a card pack of Thesaurus ex Preteritus to you if you assist someone with their winning card design!

Are we allowed to submit a description of the image to explain why it is as it is?
-
So, does this mean we can totally remix the layout as we want... meaning if I wanted to put the */* outside of the brigade box, I could?
Also, do you want us to keep the same imagery, or can we remake the icons as we see fit?
-
Yes, you're welcome to submit a description or explanation with your card.
Also, feel free to mix up the layout any way you see fit. Put the */* outside the brigade box, remake icons, whatever kind of crazy cool ideas you can come up with! ;D
-
So the only requirements are that the card still has all the same information, and that it is the same size?

The same information is required. If by "size" you mean, does it have to fit within the layout of a current Redemption card, then yes. If you're talking about the size of your picture then it doesn't matter quite as much as long as it's large enough to appreciate your work.

I just wanted to say that I'm really excited for this contest, and I already have something worked out on paper. That's a really long deadline though - a month and a half. In that time I'll probably have ten ideas come and go... I better start making this one tonight!
-
Quick question...
can we go ahead and work out ALL of the design aspects, and submit an image with all the different icons, borders, whatever... so you can imaging what every other card would look like? If we're limited to only 2 cards, I could only show off two icons out of at least eleven. That image obviously wouldnt be an entry, but it'd help show off our design.
-
I'd love to see a template or whatever showing how your idea(s) apply across all card types. I can only post two cards for the contest but afterwards I'm sure people will want to see how your design applies to other cards. :)
-
I'm in, I will have some cards for you by sunday night.
-
I will also have a couple of temple ideas.
-
I can also help out.
-
pm sent

Yay!!! I got the first entry tonight! Talk about some cool ideas! I can't wait to see what you guys come up with!!! There's still plenty of time to send in your ideas. ;D
-
Question: If the original ability of the card now has an eratta or play as, should we change it to that?

I'm not going to be really picky about how the SA. You can use the original, errata or play as. You're even welcome to shorten an SA if it has old verbage. For example "cannot be interrupted, negated or prevented" could simply be shortened to "cannot be negated".
-
I just received the second entry of the contest from Bubbleboy! You guys are doing an awesome job and surpassing my expectations!!! ;D ;D ;D
-
Shameless bump to remind everyone that there's still plenty of time for everyone to get their entries in!
:bump:
-
You'll have my entries soon...
-
My first entry is done and about to be sent in!
I can help those who don't have photoshop too
-
Wow! Another awesome card submitted!!!
We only need two more contestants to meet the minimum of 5 and make this contest legit, although I'd like to see a lot more!! You've got just under a month left to get those ideas in!
;D ;D ;D
-
If anyone has an awesome idea but doesn't have photoshop/doesn't know how to use it well, I'd love to help them out. My photoshop abilities are not professional, but I can make a near-perfect redemption card given enough time. :)
I also might submit my own, but I'm stuck in the creative stage. ;)

Excellent! I'll look forward to seeing your entry when you figure out what to do!!
-
I'll be making my on photoshop and submitting them. Great contest Gabe!
-
Entry #4 just came in! What a sweet card!! ;D ;D ;D
-
Got both of my entries in... now to wait
-
I'm making mine. Are there any kind of requirements at all? And can we make territory class enhancements? :P
-

The requirements are on the first post. Since it has to be a remake of an existing card and there are not current territory class enhancements that's probably not legal. The close of the contest is the first day of Nationals and TexP doesn't come out until then.
-
So we can't do image of jealousy? ;)
-
I've been getting pretty good at photoshop... I think I can make ONE card for ONE person to help. PM me if you would like to hire me. I charge nothing. ;)
-
We've got 5 contestants and 7 amazing entries so far! There's no turning back now... PRIZES WILL BE AWARDED!!! ;D ;D ;D
-
Got two more amazing entries tonight!! Wow, folks, these are looking so good it's going to be really hard to only give one card pack of TexP away.
:scratch: So, I tell ya what...
If we get at least 10 different contestants I'll give away a pack to both first and second place!!!. We're already at 6 so that's only 4 more people and over three weeks to submit your ideas!
;D ;D ;D
-
I sent in my first entry just now. Hopefully I'll be able to come up with a good idea for a second. :)
-
Can I submit cards that my "brother" made? ;)
-
Can I submit cards that my "brother" made? ;)
If your brother has account to make his own submission and actually makes them himself, sure. :)
-
Yeah... not so much. Hence the "s. lol But I "promise" that he made them... ;D
-
So are all the entries going to be posted on the 30th for voting? I'm excited to see what everyone else came up with...
-

Same here. I'm getting pretty impatient. But if we wait longer, then there might be ten participants, which means two of you guys will get the packs, which is pretty awesome too.
-
Both Janissary and Lambo said they were going to submit somthing. If they do, that'll make 10 entries!!! ;D
It's likely that I won't be posting the entries until after Nationals. I'll be on the road during that time and probably too busy to do it until I get back.
-
There are only two weeks left to submit your ideas. We still need two more participants so I can add a second pack of TexP to the prizes!!!
-
And I still can't channel my ideas :D
-
Just enter some crap to give someone a chance! ;)
-
I would like to participate in this contest. And I can't wait to see what people produce :)
-
Another awesome entry received!!! That's 9 participants. Only one more needed for double prizes!!!
;D ;D ;D
-
I'm not very adept with photoshopping but I may try a few things and see what I can come up with... :P
-
I've gotten pretty decent with photoshop, if you give me ideas I can make you a card or two. :)
-
Entry sent!
-
Awesome!!! We have a 10th contestant! That means I get to give away TWO packs of TexP!
I'm really excited to show everyone what awesome ideas you people have come up with!!! Only two more weeks until I post them for voting!
There's still time to get your entries in!!
;D ;D ;D
YAY!!!
-
sweet! I'm really excited to see the other entries as well! This is a really awesome contest idea.
-
Only a few more days to get your entries in to win TexP!!!
