PostPanic

PostPanic is a motion house based in Amsterdam that truly has a unique style. The team does everything from start to finish in-house, including design, directing, animation (2D & 3D) and post-production.

That’s a lot of work for one shop, but after seeing the work, you’ll agree it’s worth keeping the original creative direction intact.

Taschen books guidelines for online success

“Have you ever wondered why your websites didn’t quite match up to the success of your competitors or peers? Have you ever looked at other sites and thought: ‘Why didn’t I think of that?’”.

One of the newest books from Taschen, Guidelines for Online Success, is made to answer those and many more questions.

The book is edited by Rob Ford (creator of FWA) and Julius Wiedemann of Taschen books so you know it’s good and… you can thumb through the entire book online!

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

  1. Download one of the following templates to use for your spot. You can also create a new document on your own, but the size must be 120px wide by 90px tall, 72dpi, and make sure it's setup in RGB color mode. DO NOT add any borders to the outside of your document.
  2. Save your spot as a static .gif or .jpg file. No animated .gif's or .swf files will be accepted.
  3. Max file size for each spot is 20K.
  4. Keep it simple. Remember, you want people to click on your spot. If users have no idea what your spot is promoting, chances are they will not click on it. We've found logos with adequate space surrounding them work best. Clean spots are what we prefer, but we also don't discourage using artwork for your spot. Keep in mind, we DO NOT ALLOW the following elements to be included in any spot:
    • Typed URL's (example "www.mycoolsite.com")
    • Copyrighted materials (trust us, we're good at spotting this stuff)
    • Profanity
    • Racial/Hate insignias
    • Nudity (we want to keep this work safe)
  5. Read our Terms of Service agreement before submitting your spot.
