Contest Brief

=============================================================
What's the project?
=============================================================
We are working on a project to support minorities and are making a web app to do this. Users will upload a selfie and write two sentences. One is for "you see" which is what the user thinks the world percieves them as; and the second is "I am" which is what they actually are. We will overlay an image (frame) and put their two sentences onto the final image.

=============================================================
Have you got an example?
=============================================================
Yes! I've attached an example of how this would work technically. The frame itself is not the direction we're after. I've attached a mood board so you can have some inspiration of the direction we want. It needs to feel creative & eye catching, rather than just a standard "meme" style.

=============================================================
What text and photo should I use?
=============================================================
I've attached a selfie that you can use. You can use the text I've used in the example; "angry black women" and "a civil rights activist bettering the world"; unless you'd like to use something different.

==============================================================
Requirements
==============================================================
+ (Must) use only one photo 
+ (Must) not use blend modes (such as overlay, multiply etc) because technically, this cannot be done. Opacity is OK.
+ (Must) include the text “You see” (can be any font) This can be any font because it’s part of the frame image.
+ (Must) include the text “I am” (can be any font) This can be any font because it’s part of the frame image.
+ (Must) leave space for user text overlaid (2 fields, one for you see, one for I am) 
+ (Must) text entered in input fields must be output as a Google Font. It needs to be readable.
+ (Must) "you see" input field must be maximum 40 characters 
+ (Must) "I am" input field must be maximum 48 characters 
+ (Must) look good with varying selfie qualities  Present your ideas with a good quality selfie and a bad one, the design must be versatile enough to work with both.
+ (Must) be country agnostic  No american flags, for example! 
+ (Must) work as a simple overlay without changes to the image.
+ (Must) work with both colour and black and white selfies. Please present ideas with a black and white version of the selfie.
+ (Must) be in a square aspect ratio  Square photos will give us a clear and consistent style and it works best for mobile apps!
