What We Do
TechtoberFest is the name of an event. Essentially it is Oktoberfest for the tech startup community. It is primarily a social event/party based around beer (as well as bratwursts, pretzels, music, comedy, technology, gadgets, etc.) for all those involved in tech startups.
Our Ideas & Additional Information
DO:
- Use 'techy'-looking font for 'Tech' and Germanic style fonts for 'toberFest'
- Make it very bold and colourful
- Use lots of imagery to represent main elements of the event (i.e. - Beer, food, technology, music, comedy, party, etc.)
- If possible, include HHH logo (see attached) somewhere or add the text: "Hipsters, Hackers & Hustlers proudly present..."
- Go wild with your imagination and be original and unique.
- Try come up with a completely unexpected style. So far all the designs are looking very similar and cartoonish, so feel free to go super modern for example.
DON'T:
- Be boring!
- Copy what other designers are doing just because they may be ranked higher (temporarily). I tend to re-rank designs a lot.
- Wait until the last minute to submit your designs. I favour those that get in early and work with me and my fast/detailed feedback to get a great final design.
IMPORTANT:
=> Would like to have at least 2 versions (1 to fit square area such as avatar/icons and one rectangular to fit banners/headers, etc.).
=> Please communicate with me and let me know if you have any questions. I will give regular, detailed and fast feedback.
MOST IMPORTANT!!!
Again, I repeat, make sure you submit your designs EARLY. Do NOT wait until the contest is nearly over, as that does not give time to work on revisions to get the perfect design.
Thank you all and I look forward to seeing your designs. Good luck to all.
