Animayo

Poster designing has always been a form of art that I have wanted to try, but never knew where to start. Which is why finding this competition was a stroke of luck

A poster design contest for a film festival with no restrictions sounds like a perfect opportunity to learn the basics as well as the execution of designing a poster focusing on my skills as an illustrator. I hope to use this module as a method of improving my skills in design, conceptualization, composition, color theory and overall, visual communication.

Visual Research

After going over the brief in depth, the theme as mentioned must take us to the world of ideas and creativity, focusing it towards inspiration, fantasy and/or technology. I then proceeded to do some research on fantasy houses and sci-fi/ futuristic houses. I analyzed the shape structures and color schemes of certain houses. Following this I created two mood boards for the two topics.

Exploration of various structures and ideas for the theme and I then put them into thumbnails.

While exploring them I came across the idea of creating the competition name "ANIMAYO" by using various concepts of home and tying them all in with either a fantasy theme or sci-fi theme.

CHOOSING A BRIEF

I decided to enter the Animayo poster competition after reading through a few of the competition briefs.

I was already significantly behind on my work, so even though I thought a few other briefs were interesting, I had to ask myself if I would be able to finish it. I therefore came to the conclusion that it would be best for me to stick to something simple and enjoyable.

Also, there is no set topic or theme for the Animayo brief, so we are free to illustrate anything we want.

Animayo International Poster Contest is an event organized by Animayo, a cultural association based in Spain that focuses on promoting animation, visual effects, and video games. The poster contest is typically held annually and invites artists from around the world to submit their original poster designs related to animation and related fields.

The brief

For this project I've chosen the poster competition held by Animayo.

The poster design must include as an integral part of the poster the following slogan:

"Animayo 2024" (in larger size).

"19th Summit, Conferences and International Film Festival of Animation, Visual Effects and Video Games" (smaller size).

Finding a brief

The first brief that caught my eye is the Animayo brief. I liked the idea of designing a poster, especially something like a movie poster.

Competition Briefs | The First Candidates

"This module aims to stimulate in the student an innovative response to a brief selected from a wide range of options within the art, design and animation industries."

Essentially, for this module I was allowed to choose between any selection of Competition Briefs and deliver those as my final submission for this module according to those guidelines.

The first competition I looked at was Animayo 2024 – International Poster Contest. Artists from all over the world are invited to submit their original artwork to this contest. The winning poster will be used to promote Animayo 2024. Any technique is allowed. The works should be unpublished. The poster must be submitted in digital format. Finally, it must be based on the theme of the Festival this year.

As a poster competition, this gives me a lot of leeway to explore different techniques - analog and digital - and conduct research on a different culture, previous entries and other successful instances of design.

The contest is organized by the Apila Ediciones, a publishing house based in Alagón, Spain.

“Apila Ediciones in collaboration with the High School of Design of Aragón and with the support of its Town Hall, announces “Apila’s 2024 First Printing Award”. This is an international illustrated picture book contest to promote creativity and enrich children’s literature with an educational scope."

Illustrators, regardless of nationality, may submit a project of an illustrated picture book for children, written in Spanish or English (max. 40 pages).

This competition is more in line with my career goals, as being a writer and illustrator, however due to the sheer size of the undertaking, this one does not sit well with me considering that I am conducting the R&D phase of my Final Major Project.

As shipping prices continue to soar and as online sales continue to grow, games that provide excellent gameplay that are also compact and inexpensive to ship become more and more enticing to both publishers and customers. And when all it takes is a few extra dice and meeples to push a package into a more expensive shipping cost bracket, every ounce matters.

So, for this contest, the challenge is to pack as much game as possible into a box that weighs 16 ounces or less. And the goal is to be as close to the 16 ounces as possible. Essentially, people should get done playing and wonder how in the world you fit that much game into a box that weighs so little.

As the most unorthodox idea of the bunch, I was extremely interested in going through with this competition. I was looking into creating smaller tabletop games as a potential avenue for success in the future, and this seemed like a great place to start.

The Silent Book Contest is organized by the Italian publisher Carthusia Edizioni. The competition is exclusively reserved for new and unpublished illustrated books without words. The book project must not contain words. The narration must be realized through the illustrations. The subject is open and not restricted to any age group and readers. Finally, the book is limited to 16 pages (1 Front and Back, 1 Frontis Piece, and 14 Inner Pages).

When choosing from the above, I had to consider how exactly this would benefit my portfolio, and if it would be relevant to what I wanted to do going forward. This immediately eliminated the Animayo 2024 International Poster Contest. I was far more interested in creating books and games. Examining everything from a practical standpoint, I looked at which aspects I could capitalise on research and exploration wise, and which project was most feasible for me to complete within the given time frame.

Ultimately, I chose to go with the Silent Book Contest. This would be a fun challenge and allows for ample research potential and freedom of execution!
