Tips for Designing Temporary Tattoos:
• Artwork should be iconic or symbolic...they end up being the best sellers.
• For Black-only designs, do not use a 100% black color...use a dark gray of about 90-95% black. 100% black tattoos look unrealistic and overly shiny.
• Design your tattoos around not using the color white...any white areas in your design will be transparent.
• Tribal designs are always in high demand, and to get examples of design styles, look around our tattoo galleries.
Timeline:
All art must be submitted to Body Graphics by Hallowe'en 2005 (October 31st). On that date, we will be judging the artwork.
Art Specs:
Art could be either submitted as original art via mail or digital art via e-mail. Keep in mind a few things about digital artwork...a tattoo's texture is very important and we always recommend doing art by hand, and then scanning as opposed to creating it 100% digitally. This eliminates the hard-edged, computerized look that ends up making the tattoo look unrealistic. If possible, please scan in all images as TIFF files at 300 DPI.
Please send all submissions to info@bodygraphics.ca
All art submitted becomes the property of Body Graphics. Artists who have previously done artwork for Body Graphics cannot participate in this contest
