The Livery Design Competition 2002(belated)-2003
#1
Posted 11 January 2003 - 15:53
Basically what it's all about is you design a livery (or liveries), and then there will be a final vote on the best liveries in various categories. The details of this will be decided later, based on how things go. How you make your livery (or liveries) is entirely up to you: draw, paint, make a skin for one of the computer games out there and post some screenshots, design a 3d model and skin it, it doesn't matter. In the end it should be the best livery that wins, not how it's made (but a good presentation will usually hold an advantage!). All liveries should be made for modern cars. They don't have to look like a 2003 model car, just modern. Roughly the same shape, as it were.
It's a bit late this year, should be a strictly off-season kind of game, so the first LDC will be informal as I mentioned before. But here are my ideas of how this, and future LDCs, might work:
This LDC:
- No entries will be accepted after May 20th.
- A showcase will be ready and voting starts on June 1st, after the GP of Monaco.
- Post your livery in this thread as soon as you've made it. I want everyone to see what's being done immediately this one time, so comments and such can be posted and any issues resolved before the first 'proper' LDC.
- Voting categories might include: Best Livery, Best Drawing/Painting, Best Skinning, Best 3d Design, Best Fantasy Design (New team, new sponsors, new everything), Best "Real" Design (need a better name for this, it means real team with the same/potential sponsors, but a new design) etc.
Future LDCs
- Entries will be accepted between the end of the season, and the first unveiling of the following season.
- Liveries will not be posted here, but sent to me. They will then be unveiled and voted upon shortly before the start of the season.
- Voting categories might include: all those above, but also Closest Guess (a team announces it will have a new sponsor. The participants might try and imagine what that design will look like and whoever gets closest, in the voters' opinion, wins).
Ideas for liveries:
- Make a livery for a current team using current sponsors.
- Make a livery for a current team using different sponsors.
- Make a livery for a past team, imagine what it might look like today.
- Make a livery for a future team, a team that might enter F1 in the future.
- Make a livery for a fantasy team, a team that never will exist and never has.
and so on...
For now, there are really no rules, and those guidelines above are there to be ignored.;) We'll tackle any issues that might come up before the next LDC.
Get designing, folks. Any thoughts about this will be very much appreciated.

Because these were designed to look good, 'real' livieres are designed to promote the sponsers.Originally posted by gerry nassar

Since hardly anybody on these boards can/wants to do 3D cars, how's about we bribe FW11B into putting up some black and white wireframes and/or 2D drawings (side/top/front/back view) of a standardised car. It could be the McLaren as seen on this thread, but it may just as well be the fantasy Atlas car as far as I'm concerned.
Anyway, with these standard drawings everybody would have a chance to do some designing. You could even make a print-out, use crayons (paintbrush, oil painting, etc) and then scan it all back in.
This way a lot more people - including me! - could participate, and also the voting would be more fair as everybody submits the same drawing, with the only variable being the paintjob.

If you can persuade FW11B to do this, I've no problem with anyone submitting a livery like that. It's very much in the spirit of the competition as outlined in the first post.
I still think people should be allowed to post their livery in the form they prefer though. This would be a very viable option, but not the only option (again, if I understood you correctly).

Bjorn, you understood correctly . I just wanted to open the competition for people - like me - who don't know how to (3D-)model a car (beyond basic MS-Paint stuff), let alone add a paintjob to it.

Click here to see it.
The sponsors are or were sponsors of the Joest Audi ALMs effort, including Canon who jumped on board for 2003. The drawing was done all in Prismacolor pencil. Please be kind.

The deadline has passed, and well there really aren't enough entries to have a vote or anything like that this time round. But well, this was experimental more than anything else so never mind. If there is any interest at all I might just start a new 'proper' competition shortly before the offseason, but I doubt it.
Thanks to those who submitted!
