No Smoking - Poster Contest

What is the “No Smoking” Poster Contest?

Update (Jan 20)

The passionate response to this contest touches all of the No Smoking team… as a result we will now have 3 winners instead of one, cash prizes and credits in the movie… This as per Anurag’s latest message -

“The response is so overwhelming, that all of us including my producer,John Abraham has decided that we will have three winners and we will use the same concepts with our photographs and there credits in the film and will duly anounce it in the papers and also there would be a cash prize..for all three..right now shooting in snow under fifteen degrees, a lots of posts are due, expect them soon..back in india on 23rd..
cheers”


Update (Dec 5)

As per the latest info received from Anurag himself… The team of “No Smoking” will implement the winner’s concept and design for their official “No Smoking” poster…!!!

The Contest is to create a poster for the movie No Smoking. You can browse through “The No Smoking Blog” or Anurag’s “My Diary” or all posts on No Smoking by Anurag, Manjeet, Kartik - the authors, to get tips on what you would like to show or how you would like to design the poster.

What should be in the poster?

Anything! Set your imagination lose!!! Let your mind run wild… But we do have limits - nudity, extreme violence, anything that spells “TROUBLE”… please avoid such concepts in your posters.

Your posters can be images or just art or anything - the whole point is to keep your eye on this : Can this poster be used in the publicity for No Smoking? Can this post be put on billboards, in print, in advertisements etc…

What are the specs of the poster?

The poster should be a jpeg image that can be viewed on the internet via any commonly used web browser.

The size of the poster should not be more than 475pixels wide and 500 pixels high.

How do I submit my poster?

After you’ve made your poster, please upload it on your own website or any of the free image sites (flickr, imagehost, just do a google search)… Ensure your account has the following settings - “anyone can view your image” or “username - password not required” to view images.

Please come here to this post (Bookmark this page).

Go to the comments section.

Type first line: ENTRY FOR THE NO SMOKING POSTER CONTEST

Skip a line and then enter your name in the “Comments box”. Please ensure you have entered your Email in the email field above the comments box. Your email will not be disclosed.

Below your name, enter -

the direct image URL(link) to your image or the page the poster is on.

Please ensure your image is not restricted for viewing by the website you put it on… we will then take your image link and grab the entire image back here to show in place of the link in your comment.

What is the last date of submission/entry for this contest?

30th January, 2007 Midnight (Pacific Standard Time)

Who will judge this contest?

John Abraham
Kumar Mangat (Producer: Omkara, No Smoking)
Vishal Bhardwaj
Anurag Kashyap

When will the winner of the contest be announced?

We will announce the winner of the contest before the end of February, 2007. The judges will select the best entry and perhaps also commend others who’s posters they like

What is the prize for the winner?

Nothing… :) The entire media is covering PFC each day… your name will get out there and we hope you will get the recognition… plus you will be invited to join the PFC Author Team which is one of the most desired memberships around.

There may be a few surprise gifts for the winner, but these aren’t confirmed yet and hence we can’t promise nor announce it.

The concept and design of the winning entry will be used by the No Smoking team to re-do the same winning poster, professionally, and will be used as one of the official posters of No Smoking :)

How many posters can I submit?

You can submit as many posters as you want (here we hope you are not making a 100 posters)… But each poster should be a seperate entry… you have to go in our comment section to publish your image for each separate poster that you make.

Who can enter this Contest?

Anyone and Everyone… EXCEPT… The Judges themselves :) You could be a graphic designer, an artist, some who draws/paints as a hobby, or someone who just wants to take up the challenge and scribble a poster out in Photoshop or a Paint/Brush software. Everyone is eligible to enter this contest.

I don’t have any actual images from “No Smoking”. How can I make a poster on No Smoking?

All we can say is …. let your imagination go on over drive :)

All the best and please spread the word about this contest!!!

    Super!

    Just one question: don’t people like Manjeet and KK have an edge over others since they know what’s the movie exactly about?

  2. kartik krishnan on November 28th, 2006 8:20 pm

    randramble …. dnt worry… me not a very creative person when it comes to designing posters !!!
    I can talk for myself …. I dnt think i will participate.

    You can safely ‘bujhao’ those fears. And now that u have less competition, come up with the most imaginative poster. You can keep track of mine and manjeet’s articles though to get hints/clues on what the movie is exactly about !!!

    sorry oz, you’re disqualified. not because you manage PFC, but because your rules state:

    This is an awesome poster Orange. Very creative. I love the cigarette burn marks. The poster speaks volumes about the tone of the film and what to expect. Great job.

    between::-? the only resource to know more about No Smoking is PFC and blogs posted by you all, so isnt it inevitable :)

    By the way jsut to mention again… i liked the Shiva-slaughtering-Re-view…great Job!! :)>-

  29. Venetia on December 1st, 2006 1:09 am

    Hi everyone. You all seem to know each other here so I feel like a bit of a party crasher. Let me introduce myself. I’m a graphic designer and illustrator from the UK who also happens to adore John. I’m not kidding - that darling boy is my MUSE! (By the way, Venetia is my real name. I’m FAR TOO OLD to be bothered with pseudonyms!) Anyway, I thought I’d enter your competition if that’s OK. I’ve done four posters already and plan to do some more today – just letting the ideas flow at the moment. The standard of the creations submitted on this page so far is pretty good so I’m really pushing myself! I’m a notorious dunce when it comes to putting things on the web, but my friend has said she’ll post them for me on her free account thingy. Is that alright?

    Oh yes, and I don’t know if it’s because I’m on a Mac, but posting this message was MURDER! Every time I click my mouse on the page, all the type becomes underlined and I get taken to another page. So I wrote this in Word and pasted it (in between getting taken to the other page – grrrr). Anyway, will get my ideas posted in the next few days. Love to you all. Vxx

  30. Honhaar Goonda on December 1st, 2006 1:25 am

    Oh Venetia - I know what you mean. I also use Macintosh. I thought I was only having the problem and I thought it was because I use older version of Mac OS. But anyway, to view this webpage we need to use either Netscape or The Big Blue E or Mozilla. Or when you click on the comment box quickly enter esc, so it does not take you to Suparn Verma’s author page. Then you will be able to write straight onto the comment box.

    Anyway regarding this competition.. I am not a graphic designer or an artist, but I have this line in mind:

    “Sirf Cigarpeenewalloh Ke Liye ye film Hain”

    ps oz, if you reading this, a preview section for comment page of this section would be a good thing, so readers can review that the poster does appear… otherwise, you will be stuck all day rectifying the entries.

  31. Venetia on December 1st, 2006 1:56 am

    Aw, bless you for those tips, my darling, but could I have a translation? Perhaps I should have explained – I’m not entirely desi so my language skills are a little rough! Vxx

  32. Honhaar Goonda on December 1st, 2006 2:35 am

    No worries LUV ;) all i meant was this ‘fillum’ is for people who smoke cigars.

  33. Venetia on December 1st, 2006 2:43 am

    Ah, my husband will enjoy it then! Vxx

  37. OM on December 1st, 2006 1:10 pm

    Oz…can we make this post sticky? or give it an exclusive status untill the results are announced? Coz if there are new folks coming on PFC for there posters..it might get a bit tough for them to navigate…what say?

  38. oz on December 1st, 2006 1:11 pm

    Romesh, just post a link of the page the poster is on… I’ll take care of the rest.

    Om, I have a link to this post just below the menu… I’ll find a safe plugin which does stickies… good idea.

  41. OM on December 1st, 2006 1:19 pm

    @ Romesh i like it!!! I really like the poster…But buddy… AK had the title for No Smoking as Cig. Smoking is injurious to health…If you read his first post..it would make you a bit clear about it..Nevertheless..i really love the poster..

  42. Romesh on December 1st, 2006 1:24 pm

    Hey Oz, Thanks that was quick…

  43. Romesh on December 1st, 2006 1:35 pm

    Thanks OM, but regarding the title, It has anyways no connection with the previous title. Its a Teaser Poster keeping in mind the current title ‘No Smoking’. Actually just wanted to portray that somebody has scribble against the Statutory warning to depict the Film Title making its Inujurious to Health. I Think the 2nd poster would make it more simpler…

  46. OM on December 1st, 2006 4:29 pm

    @HG actually this looks good…damn it am happy am not in the position of AK, Vishal, John or Kumar…every poster is better and better….

    but, HG…i was expecting a Ramu face somehwere in u r poster…or is tht cig. smoker Ramu? Lol..Mazaak yaar!!!!=))

  47. Honhaar Goonda on December 2nd, 2006 12:59 am

    kya om-bhai, of course it is, but without his mooch. if i was an artist i would have gotten his exact look.. i would not have ended up with a smoker moon chacha face ; )

    anyway, the poster is a bit scrappy cos i did it on (mac) paint, so you can see ’sm’ and ‘king’ are kind of not in same line.. etc.

    thanks :D

  48. Honhaar Goonda on December 2nd, 2006 1:16 am

    you know, i thought the tag line only made sense to me… glad to know that you got the tag line as well.

  49. Madhur on December 2nd, 2006 4:33 am

    Hey Oz, i have a little query, can we use photographs of the principal cast downloaded from the net? are you sure it wont cause any copyright problems, since the contest is now for ‘official’ posters, and we are not quite sure which professional photographer shot those photos?
    Maybe someone on the sets can take some pictures of them(with green-screen bkgnd) and have them posted for us to use, or is it too much too ask? I’m curious.

  50. Venetia on December 2nd, 2006 7:07 am

    Well, of the designs so far I REALLY like babasko’s blue poster – very striking. And the one with nude John (of course!). And I think Honhaar’s cartoon is great - VERY different and eye-catching. I finished my designs last night so I’ll try to post them up soon. Vxx

  51. oz on December 2nd, 2006 8:58 am

    - Madhur, i don’t think your request would be possible to implement at this point cause of various pr contracts. i think my email have been slightly misinterpreted at your end… and damn madhur… i haven’t made it official yet so shhh…. and send me an email :>

  52. sophocles on December 2nd, 2006 10:04 am

    Thanks for the help Oz! I was having a tuff time trying to link it to the flikr page.

    Poster 1
    OK, this has been a wide brief, so I’ve come at it
    from all angles. For my first poster, I’ve featured
    John heavily because if I’m honest, he’s the MAIN
    reason I would my seek this film out. However, I’ve
    deliberately made the image dark and grainy to
    indicate that this role is likely to be very different
    from some he’s done in the past.

  64. Sangeeta on December 5th, 2006 1:33 pm

    oh but tusar, the writing is very small and for a film poster that won’t really work. Even if it’s enlarged it’s not showing much.

    Sorry Orange, i hope you don’t find my remarks offensive but as a marketing person i’m quick to pick up on these things.

    - Venetia, nice concept, though at first glance John looked like a soccer fan with a painted face… ;)

    Poster 5
    I like green and it’s rarely used on posters so I
    thought I’d give this a shot. Plus there seems to be
    a croc print on John’s bathroom wall so I echoed it in
    the bottom of the poster. The overall effect is
    supposed to be a keyhole glimpse into John’s
    character’s world.

    Poster 6
    OK, this is the romance angle. As John’s character
    goes into rehab to save his marriage I’m assuming
    there is SOME element of romance in the film.
    Hopefully the dead rose and scratchy typeface take
    some of the ‘Mills and Boon’ edge off it.

    And last but not least, my personal favourite. Bright

    Alphaville or Blade Runner. And that’s all from me.

    - Great going guys!!! Just a word of caution: since you all are uploading images on free photo sites… open up a couple of accounts to upload 2 - 3 images in each account. Uploading more posters in the same account may quickly use up the limited bandwidth per month the sites allow for free account… :) Now going back to come up with a new poster… this is contagious ~:)

  80. Romesh on December 5th, 2006 7:35 pm

    Is the pic of John sitting in the bathtub from the film “No Smoking”…

    Yeah it is contagious… I Wish I could one for everyday… Lets try..:)

  81. kartik krishnan on December 5th, 2006 8:39 pm

    WOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    ANURAG WILL HAVE A TOUGH TIME SELECTING THE BEST POSTER … ALL OF THEM SEEM ROCKING !!!

  82. Venetia on December 6th, 2006 12:23 am

    Aw, thanks everyone, for your wonderful comments. I really enjoyed doing them, a good creative exercise. It was really great being able to combine what I do for a living with something involving John. (I love that darling boy SO MUCH it’s not even funny!) I think 8 designs are quite enough though, so I’ll be calling it a day now.

    Looking forward to seeing your next poster, Romesh.

    Love you all. Vxx

    Now that film poster is quite good. i have been trying to figure out how to get that smoke bit (without cigarette)… but gave up. i am glad that you did that.. madhumati.

  89. oz on December 6th, 2006 9:20 am

    - Nice poster Madhumita… being a “duh” in photoshop… would love to know how you got the “smoke” effect…

  90. oz on December 6th, 2006 9:20 am

    - jeez HG… you and I were thinking of the same thing!!!

  91. Honhaar Goonda on December 6th, 2006 9:24 am

    well.. at least you were trying to do that in photoshop, where as i was trying to do that in paint

    (designing a creative film poster for this is very difficult cos you do not want to end up with a ‘No Smoking’ ad. from Health… )

  92. sangeeta on December 6th, 2006 10:36 am

    Orange : I love yours too. Amazing sense of design..it would be perfect for print..but for a poster..hmmm..

    Thanx you guys..Actually, i had stills from my previous photo shoot for a health campaign..So i just used that..hehehe..but..i tried with photoshop after seeing your comments..and u can create it with blending options > texture and satin…its pretty close…

  98. Madhumita on December 7th, 2006 5:17 am

    Orange : Actually, I was talking abt ur first poster..Thats the one i fell in love with..the 2nd one is good ..but i cant cheat on my first love u c..

    Everyone : I am up for constructive criticism too..so SHOOOOTT…

  104. Orange on December 7th, 2006 9:58 pm

    Madhumita:
    :o u were talking abt the first
    one….hmmm…well :-?…hmm

    constructivie criticism :

    and about constructivie criticism…i just have a generic feedback …(Disclaimer: THIS IS WHAT I THINK)
    i just have one thing to say….try to avoid the use of Cigarrete or Smoke…cause that makes the design too obvious (sort of spoon feeding)…REST is GReat….:)>-

    just wondering if the close up works better…

    ciao..

  110. abhishek on December 19th, 2006 5:25 pm

    I scrolled down this list, ocassionally stopping here and there until Madhumita’s poster came into view. This is creativity at its best!

    Simple, succinct and captivating.

    Madhumita, what do you do? Are you a professional?

    I prefer something between the distant one and the closeup one. The margins on the closeup one should be wider. The “N” is a little too close to the edge. And you can zoom out a little bit more.

    Best of luck!

  111. Madhumita on December 21st, 2006 5:26 pm

    Thanks Abhishek..I am a phillum - maker..So the poster is what it would be if No smoking was my film.. (Dont worry Anurag ji..I aint taking any credit)..Just a filmmakers’ point of view rather than a graphic designers’..Thanks again abhishek.

  114. striker on December 22nd, 2006 2:08 pm

    actually, in comment #97, madhumita did mention that she had stills from a previous ad campaign, so i’m guessing this “save the next generation” poster also belongs to her. the AOTW link however seems to indicate a certain gyaan sagar as the person who submitted the poster. madhumita, can you elaborate?

  146. Jahan Bakshi on January 11th, 2007 10:46 am

    Hi Oz…just wanted to know how one posts these pictures is the messages. Also, can one post the picture on any site including one’s personal blog page? There are some interesting concepts here, though most are pretty predictable and amateurish. What I personally feel is that the use of graphic images of cigarettes or smoking should be kept to a minimum- that would avoid causing trouble with the anti-tobacco lobby, plus it would be much more challenging, creative and interesting. Also using Johns images from magazines etc and just adding the title is not exactly innovative, as many have done. Oops- I hope I don’t sound pseudo-intellectual or arrogant- just my opinion. Looking forward to hearing from you and maybe, putting in my entry too!

    thank you striker.
    i was thinkng about making something else, and this just happened.

  190. Shripriya on January 12th, 2007 11:13 pm

    #169 by Faheem is fabulous on so many levels. First, color. Not the standard black, white and red/orange. The blue in the smoke is so subtle, it demands a second look. The image on the right hand side, the screaming figure is also not noticed on first glance. Phenomenal visuals. I don’t love the tag line, but that’s an easy change. - Congratulations!

    In a movie theater, which one of these would stand out? On a billboard which would work? That’s the question isn’t it?

    There could be a teaser at Public places like stations and bus stops. Like a proper public service message…or warning….”No-Smoking…..Fine Rs.500″….and actually have people fined and it can be probably tied up with MTV Bakra. Sure to reach out to a lot more people who are not hooked on to the net.

    I can see Elvis’ posters in Firefox. What OS are you using to access the site, and are you currently behind a firewall? I will try to troubleshoot this for you…
