My pals from the German Forum and me are planning to make a [b]Presentation of Buda5 and IFH on the [i]L.E. Spaceday[/i] at Leipzig on October 25th[/b].
I want to show the InGame Mod and the Mission Collection there.
Also I plan to let print some advertising material. Hehe, at least I need some advertising material .. a promotion poster or something, e.g. with screenshots and the Buda5 Logo on it.
Do one of you have such promo stuff?

Hi Logic,
though you're very busy due to Homewold 2 and maybe also RL(tm) I have a request for some work for ya.
Could you make a promotion poster which I can plot?
I intended the following operating parameter
[list][*]Plotsize: A3/A2 format -> Resultion about [b]1600x1200 or higher[/b][*]It's for the InGame Mod and Mission Collection so following content is possible:
[list=1][*]Background a model (Babylon5 station) with the Buda5 Whitestar before it[*]Foreground: Screenshots with the titles of the available packages of the Mission Collection on their bottom (Skirmish Generator, Buda5 Escort, Buda5 Gallery, ...)[*]Foreground: Buda5 V2 Logo and the term [i]"Buda5 InGame Mod"[/i] or something like that[/list]
[/list]
Example: [url=http://ifh.firstones.com/download/promotion/ifh-promotion-poster.jpg]IFH Poster[/url]
Or if P3K knows how to create such poster, you are welcome to do this, too!
[B]not a problem, i'll get right on it after class today. do u want it bigger than the size u said? it's just a render, so i can make it as big as you like. what are u going to print it on? [/B][/QUOTE]
Yes, thats the minimum size I thought.
I'll plot it on normal or glossy paper. Size: Approximately A3 format.

[B]we settled on Buda5: Journey of SHadows right?... do u want it on it's own poster? [/B][/QUOTE]Yes please, Explorer campaign should get its own poster.
[B]my thinking for the explorer poster is a simple movie style poster, nebula background, Buda 5 in our logo style, and below it, Journy of Shadows in shadow bio armer texturing. then below that, Coming 2004. then at the very bottom, our credits. [/B][/QUOTE]
Okay, nebula = mystery, fits good to the explorer campaign.
Maybe the Buda5 Logo could drop a shadow onto the background nebula? Could easily done with Photoshop-Layers for example.
Credits is a nice idea, too.
Looking forward to it!

Some ideas:
[list][*]The screenshots should be a bit brighter so the viewer can recognize more than shadows and some lights.
[*]In the sentence you're mention the game engine I would include an annotation like this [i]Revolutionary proven game engine* provides ...[/i], and on the bottom of the poster the dislcaimer: [i]*Main program:Independence War 2(tm): Edge Of Chaos - ©2001 Infogrames, ©2001 Particle Systems. All rights reserved. Independence War(tm) ist a trademark of Infogrames Europe SA.[/i] ...the europe publisher due to we show it in europe.
[*]Furthermore our web adress should be included ... e.g. on the bottom of the poster.
[*]Maybe the Logo could get some transparency
[*]And the term "Mission Pack" (Mission Collection?) could be a little bit more highlighted so you get a smoother transistion between the black background and the letters.[/list]
[B]hey... roi... it's an update! not the finished product! :) give me a chance! i know what to do :) [/B][/QUOTE]
... I couldn't await to see the final product so I cheated myself and thought that where the final ;) ....
Btw#1, in Skirmish the player can control [b]37[/b] different fighters and capitals.
Btw#2, P3k mentioned something (in a little bit ironic way):
[i]BABYLON 5, characters, names, and all related indicia are trademarks of Time Warner Entertainment Co., LP. ©2001 Time Warner Entertainment Co., LP[/i]
Of course he's right but I don't think we need to include that on the poster b/c you never mentioned a character or a name or used a symbol on the poster (instead of the engine of IWar). Only the term Babylon5 is a direct relation to this ... but, well, nothing is perfect ;) .
I'd make sure any and all legal outlets are put there. Better safe than sorry.
[B]do u like the purple buda 5? or should we go with the blue/grey buda 5? [/B][/QUOTE]
I'd try the blue/grey logo also .. maybe so:
Blue/grey for InGame and Mission Collection
Traditional Purple for Explorer Campaign
EDIT: Sanfam mentioned that to get a good print quality i should go 300 pixels per inch on printed paper. in the US poster size is something like 42 inches by.... gah something i forgot, anyways, that's like 22,000 pixels high. so it's gonna be a BIIIIIIIIG image. my question, ROI, is how large (in inches if you can please) is the poster your planning to print on? A4 i think? (or A3... i'd go for whichever is larger).

The blue version I like much more. Nice work pal. [img]http://forums.firstones.com/images/oldicons/icon14.gif[/img] I need an A3 plot, but an resolution (height) of 4000 pixel is quite enough ... it would be still a good quality.
[b]ISO Format A3: 11,69inch x 16,54inch[/b]
[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Warlord II [/i]
[B]At least in Photoshop when you make a new file there is different settings for width, height (pixels) and resolution (pixels/inch) so I think you don't have to have something like 20000x15000 pixels picture. [/B][/QUOTE]
DPI is the important factor for plotting. DPI = Pixel/Inch. A general factor for a picture is 72dpi like digital cameras have. I prefer a pixel/inch of 300dpi.
So for the A3 Format a resolution of [COLOR=orange][b]3508pixels x 4961pixels[/b][/COLOR] would be okay.
Furthermore when you click on "New" in Photoshop you can choose the option "A3" with 300dpi per default. (at least in the german version)
@roi:
isn't that a little small???? when i print it i'm getting it like 42" by 38" or something like that. Movie poster sized.
[B]who said anything about photoshop? i'm doing this all in lightwave. and to get a good print, trust me, u'll want 300 pixels per inch.
@roi:

The resolution for the A3 format is enough but you can do also a version for the A2 format if I get it plotted in this size:
A2: [b]7016pixels x 9922pixels[/b] @[b]300ppi[/b]
Would be nice if you could post it until tomorrow. :)
[B]i'll post it ASAP, it's almost done, i'll work tonight and finish it. [/B][/QUOTE]fine :)
I don't want to make stress but it would be really good when you could get ready it today 'cause it will be fine if we have a Buda5 poster at the presentation. :)
[B]It's rendering as we type :) it will be done in about 3-4 hours. i will post it AS SOON as it's finished rendering, sorry it took so long, but u know how artists are... [/B][/QUOTE]no problem ...
... btw, I know how we all are: that we are never fully satisfied with what we have created and that we do that in freetime and voluntary besides our RealLife -> so I never will make disapprovals regarding the release date.
... just a little bit requesting to determine if it's possible to get it ready ASAP/soon enough ;) . Looking forward to it.
