Start working on a start-up screen!

November 30, 2009

We just ended the Dutchcowboys logo design competition. This was a new experience for us and our members. Never before we asked them to design a logo. But they came up with a lot of great ideas and designs. We were impressed by the big amount of entries in such a short period of time. Now we’ll just have to wait on the Dutchcowboys professional jury to see which entries won great prizes.

After this successful competition we’ve launched a new one today! This is also a kind of strange but challenging one. We’re asking our members to design a start up screen for an iphone app.

On the 10th of November the wine market met a new name, 94Wines. This wine brand characterizes itself by combining the traditional wine market with innovative technology. The result is a fantastic wine in a modern and extraordinary bottle with a QR code. 94Wines brings you a unique way to send a personal message. You can attach a unique QR code to each bottle you send. This code can embrace every kind of message. If it’s a text, photo or even a video, you can send it together with your bottle of wine. The QR code can be read with almost every modern phone. 94Wines makes sure that your message is transferred to the right QR code.
 
An innovative concept like this couldn’t be introduced without an Iphone Application.
94Wines has launched an interesting App that can be downloaded for free from the App Store. But 94Wines asks the members of CreatAd to design the Start-up screen for this app. It’s up to them to design the best Start-up screen in the App Store.

The Start-up screen will be shown on the Iphone display when the App is started. The new design has to show in a blink of an eye that 94Wines is the winebrand of the future!

Our message to the CreatAd members, get creative and design the success factor for this application. Winners can take a chance on a lot of money and a lot of bottles of wine. So what are you still doing on this blog? Get crazy on your sketchbook or design software!
