Contest Brief

I would like a cartoon illustration that shows the following:
- salmon swimming upstream
- one salmon thinks about the problem differently and solves it by catching a lift upstream instead of swimming the hard way with all the other salmon
- the broad themes i am trying to get across through the illustration are:
1. we have a big challenge this year and we are all going to have to work hard to achieve our goals
2. we need to think differently about our challenges to see if we can solve problems more efficiently
3. we can do it.
I would also like a second version of the illustration that is simplified with just a single salmon.
Please note i would like a very simple illustration/cartoon and not a very very detailed sketch. The simplier the better.

Hi, can you tell me exactly what style cartoon/illustration you want? Do you want something realistic, cartoony or in-between (like a comic-book)? Or are you undecided as to the style you require? Thanks.

Please describe the illustrative/cartoon style you prefer as there are many. For example, do you like the traditional black-outlined comic-style drawings or a more child-like, fun cartoony style.

  Hi - i think you could remove the words at the bottom of the picture please. is there a way you could show that one of the salmon are catching a lift or a ride of some sort to get upsteram faster?
  It also seems like the fish are swimming across rather than upstream so if this can be fixed that would be good thanks. Regards

  Hi - your illustration is great but a little too symbolic for what we are after. is it possible you can create something a bit more realistic looking of the salmon swimming upstream and one salmon taking a lift? you don\'t need to have the caption at the bottom either thanks.

just to clarify ,how many images are needed and what are the specific sizes? tnx

1. Contest Holder

  two images but the second image will just be a subset of the first. ie. the first image will be the main image with multiple salmon swimming upstream. the second image will just show one salmon. high resolution image if possible so we can print. size ideally about 5cms x 5cms or whatever is near to that.
