Need some help on contest for work

Mr_Knight · 07-12-2009

Okay, I gotta get together a few pictures for work for a contest. I need some ideas on what kind of pictures and how they should be taken.
Here are the rules:
1. Convergint Technologies (My company name) has to be in the picture. The picture(s) can be of your family, a team of Convergint colleagues, something abstract, etc, but Convergint has to be in the picture somewhere (good Photoshop editing is perfectly acceptable).
2. The picture has to be Digital and taken with atleast a 1 MP Camera (This one wont be a problem at all. I have a Nikon Coolpix L11 which is a 6 MP Camera)
3. Has to be in landscape mode (not vertical. The pictures are going to be going on a Calendar)
I have until October to get the pictures in but if it is okay, I would like to get many ideas and post the pictures on here for you guys to pick the best ones for me to submit to my work.
Here is a sample of who won the contest last year.

BTW, I have an 06' Ranger as my company truck.

There's several ad designers here so let's see what they have to say.

I'd like to know what the company does, I've never heard of Convergint Technologies. That'd help give some ideas of what to do with it.

OK, last years was "OK", but I am sure we can do something a little more interesting.....

Pets and kids are a surefire winner..... do you have either available to you??

Also, lets see a few pics of your Mustang!

I do have pets (2 dogs) and a child (6 month old Boy).
This is the most recent picture of the Mustang that I have on Photobucket. All the others are on my other laptop. I will work on getting them transferred onto Photobucket.

BTW, We are about to upgrade to an 05 Roush w/ 28K miles on it.
Here are a few pix of it.

Lets see what we can come up with.

**JudisStang** · 07-14-2009

I do my best thinking with a cup of coffee in the morning, I'll try and come up with a few ideas....

Lemme see pics of the dogs if you have a couple... We can try and set up a few shots for you to take....

Now, do we have to come up with the text for the photos?

We can do this peeps!!!!!!

**EagleAutosports** · 07-14-2009

Do you have a company logo? Or anything specific?

**JudisStang** · 07-14-2009

yes, it's on the truck in the first picture.... it would help if he could get a good copy of the logo... I'll have to fish around... but an Illustrator .eps would be PRIMOOOOOO

OK, here ya go.

Get a big fan. Stick one of your dogs to the drivers seat of that Roushmonster, paws on the wheel. Turn on the big fan to get the ears and lips shakin' in the wind. You get in the truck next to it and play like your pup is blowin' your doors off. Sure fire winner, Huh?

At least food for thought, maybe?

Mr_Knight · 07-15-2009

Accually, The Van in the first pic is my old company I worked for. I now work for a new company since that POS Company laid me off back in December. I will snap a few shots of the dogs, company truck and get them on here for yall to see what we are working with.

**JudisStang** · 07-16-2009

Sounds great! We're looking forward to seeing the major players.....

**EagleAutosports** · 07-16-2009

Get the highest resolution photos you can, that would make a HUGE difference.

**JudisStang** · 07-16-2009
