Altitude Advertising Design (Previously: this means war)

[Flexio]

This thread is made for people who want to express their ideas, opinions, and art for Altitude's marketing revenues.

Currently the art used for Altitude's logo/trailer is what some may call "war-themed." Distressed text is used often, the promo picture is a dark battlefield of exaggerated planes, and the logo follows suit with the "bullet-holes-metal" look. Many players are not happy with this and even the developers are looking for something new.

"girl" ehh

[GGQ]

It was Kuja.

[ModernArcher]

Good points Flexio and something that has been on the guys minds since the release in 2009. However, it's not that easy.

1. Altitude's old advertising art were cool pictures of the game. The feedback they got was that it was too "cartoonish" and it looked like a kiddie game.

2. They only used the girl pic on steam because after the feedback they got from #1 they tried to do something that showed it wasn't a kiddie game

3. We all hated the girl pic and have since sent in 2 different pics to replace it to steam. Steam has never used either one even though they both were WAY better than some random chick in a plane.

4. Finding good, reliable artists takes money and is challenging bc the key words there are good AND reliable.

One of Altitude's biggest problems is that is shows like **** in advertising.

[Flexio]

Sorry to everyone if I'm too passionate about this.

Queen Zoe:
Can't argue point 4 about the artists...

[QUEEN ZOE]

You're not being too passionate at all. We love it when people are honest and try to help the game. Nothing wrong with that.

[Torsion]

Well yes, finding good artists is expensive, but we have a great community here, some of them are pretty good artists, and all of them seem greedy for some CP... You could get a contest started where anyone could enter as many new advertising/propaganda pictures as they wanted. Pick some winners and dish out some CP. Boom! Bang! You've got a better website/steam pic, then maybe more for later on!

[QUEEN ZOE]

We do have some great artists here. I think we tried this in the past, but I can't remember. Maybe I will get something going in the next few days

The prize could be CP and a Mumble chat with me and Lamster where we will talk trash about Karl and Aggie. lol.

[Pieface]

Yeah, having a contest for images/video would work well IMO. There are plenty of aspiring or professional artists in the community that might be able to contribute.

It would help for the video if they released a stock footage toolkit to work with, since many potential editors don't have the equipment or time to go out and record a ton of footage. They did the capturefest a while ago to collect it but AFAIK they ended up piecing together the final results themselves?

[Ajuk999]

CP and mumble chat would give me alot of passion for graphic designing...+1 !!
And I absolutely love contests!

There are several graphic artists playing alti. Why not hire them to do some artwork. Seems like people who actually play the game would have a better idea of what to draw.

*cough* art for community points *cough*

great points, but you got to remember, people like Vi Hart (V*) or Arthur Norcome (Arty) do these kinds of things to keep themselves in a home. So, as long as you find some people like that, you shouldn't have a problem. Arty has made several great pics, like for my clan, {ball}, and Twisted. I would definetely trust Arty to do art for advertising. He's good and reliable, and Zoe, just ask anyone, he's extremely patent and will never yell. He's absolutely perfect for art in altitude. Vi Hart is an artist too, but more for just giving a smile on some faces. Not that I'm saying she's worse, but she's already done a big part in the music, and so on. Although, I hate the new theme song, I liked the old sound effects and theme song. So, I suggest you guys should try and contact him, because I hiley dought he wouldn't want to help out if it was needed.

Anyway, altitude could be called cartoonish, but imo, I think if you want a game like this, then you make one. It's tricky, because you cant ever float someones boat. But, people who do like it, like me, respect that.

Nuff said.


GOD THAT BURNS MY EYES

Me: *sways to the tune of the altitude theme* (playing from my iPod)

THIS alone is why you have to look for girls on Omegle.
I LIKE altitude, but even I think this makes you a major homosexual.

Just sayin'

I also second this.

The fact that you're even questioning it proves my point.

Srs: turning this into a contest would totally work imo

You placed a question mark after it. It is therefore, a question.

GGQ would be proud of me :3

I wasn't questioning my homosexuality, I was questioning if that really could be logical proof of my homosexuality.

[Danielle]

Oh it is. Trust me.
Next you'll be singing show tunes.

[Kennedy]

teach me how to dougie

[JDR]

Too bad man, I really thought she was the one.

[Ajuk999]

So are we supposed to be making graphics about homosexuality or Altitude now ?

lololol danielle, you make me laugh hard.

[ModernArcher]

I reckon he meant chutin aka shooting. *sigh*

[Torsion]

I second that sigh




Oh ****, when did this topic review thing happen? thats kriffin awesome!

[Blue]

what do you think lam?

hue and saturation ftw imo.

[ModernArcher]

blue i thought the main reason we wanted change is because the pic had nothing to do with the game, you didn't really change that

[Jayfourke]

Wow, omegle. I remember that. One time, I ended up chatting with a guy I was msn'ing with... the odds were amazing.

But anyway... yeah, the current ad does nothing to represent actual gameplay. I know I've complained about it before, but I understand why nothing has been done, IE all the reasons above.

This that and also the line "multiplayer experience like you've never seen before" is incorrect grammar. Should be "A multiplayer experience like you've never seen before."
