Haiku

Design a kakemono / roll-up banner for Haiku

For this task you are required to create a kakemono or roll-up banner for Haiku. Before beginning the design, you must present your ideas (in a txt or pdf file). You should describe in detail what the design will look like and list any screenshots, images, fonts, etc, you'll be using. After the idea has been accepted by mentors, you can start working on the design.

  • The kakemono should contain the Haiku logo and links to various useful resources and information about Haiku, while keeping it concise.
  • The design should fit Haiku's overall style. First research Haiku and its features. Join our forums and IRC channel (#haiku on Freenode) and ask what should be included in the design. We take into consideration originality and creativity as well as quality of the design.
  • Keep in mind basic design rules when creating the design.
  • Use at most 2 font types, with a Creative Commons license. Avoid using low font sizes, since the text is supposed to be seen from afar.
  • Everything should be neatly integrated into the design.
  • Kakemono dimensions: standard size, 85 x 200 cm and 60 x 160 cm.

You can complete this task using software of your choice (e.g. Inkscape, Photoshop, Illustrator, Wonderbrush). Design should use vector format where possible, to allow clean resizing.

You must submit all sources (PSD, AI, SVG) and preview files (PNG) of your design. All the images, fonts, etc. you used in creating the design have to be under a suitable creative commons license.
