Word It

Ok, I’m taking this from another website but I think it’s a great idea. See how creative you can be or how creative other folks can be. Here are the rules, follow them as closely as possible and then send in your submission. I’m excited to see what everyone comes up with. If you feel totally un-creative, that’s fine. Just send me an e-mail with the words you chose. I won’t laugh. I promise.

The word for May: Disciple

What exactly is this?
Word It is your opportunity to express in as many words, and as many other graphic elements as you need, what best describes each monthly topic.

Each month we will choose a specific topic, idea or theme. For example: the first theme was “disciple.” So you would go home, or do it at work, and find words, images, artwork, whatever that best describes what inspiration means to you. It could be anything: music, cats, chocolate, museum, love, laundry. Anything that reflects what disciple is to you. You can do whatever you want to it: vectorize it, photoshop it, scan it or build it and then send it to us.

What kind of file must be submitted?
It’s this simple:
› 5” by 5” (yes, that’s in inches). If points are your thing, then make it 360 x 360 points
› High resolution! 300 dpi please. If submitted at 72 dpi it will not be considered for possible publication
› Send a JPG, just remember to save it as hi-res. A Photoshop file (flattened) could also be accepted.
› CMYK files please. RGB is acceptable but frowned upon, the color might change for print reproduction, keep that in mind when breaking the rules.
› Please specify a URL (if you have one) for the image to point at. If you have no web site, the image will link to your e-mail address.
› No self-promotion please. Do not put your name, your business’ name, your tagline nor your URL in the image.
› If you’re clueless about everything above, e-mail wordit@one21media.com and we’ll tell you were you can send your submission via snail mail.

Copyright information
› By submitting, you grant 121 Media the right to reproduce your artwork on the site. We will give you credit, normally. If we decide to print this and make a nice coffee table book that will be the envy of all your friends, we might then contact you to get your official blessing. But don’t count on it. Our record keeping has been pretty bad up until this point.
› Also, and very important, please use original material, pay for your fonts, buy or create your images (no stripping off photos from a Google image search), don’t use anything that is copyrighted in its own way. We will come back to you if this the case.
› Common sense is all we ask for, we don’t want to get sued

› Disclaimer: 121 Media is not responsible for the views expressed by each individual entry and its author. Nor does it represent 121 Media’s own opinions. We have zero censorship (unless deemed completely unpublishable material). If you have a problem with somebody’s entry we ask you to contact the author.

Where do I submit the file?
To: wordit@one21media.com
Please include your name in the file’s name for easy identification.

Only current Word Its will be accepted. Meaning that past Word Its (from past months) will not be considered nor uploaded.

Anything else?
Yes:
› Be creative. And don’t worry, there are no clients around to tell you the type is too small.
› We highly reserve the right to not post what you send. Whether because it’s offensive, pointless or even lame.
