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).

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?
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 !!!

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.
orange, that’ll definitely get the female audiences rushing to the theaters
to all the entrants so far, great job =D>
Fantastic Orange..but, where did you get the John poster buddy?. Looks so fucking awesome..like a sprinter..running faar away from smoking…damn it..awesome
Thanks a lot or the appreciation!!!
vijay you rightly pointed out those cigarette burn marks…thanks you noticed…
Striker….buddy i totally agree with you, female audiences are gonna go crazy atleast about Nude John ;)…no moatter if they understand the film or not:d
NOTE: Thnaks Oz for putting it on your account. I was disappointed yeseterday. But you made my day!! :D
And Om I got the poster in an old magazine, scanned it and used it.
Orange !!! that is a lovely poster …
and between the quotes uve taken from my article !!!
I want royalty if this poster is selected
Hey karthik!!! Dont worry i have “No problemo et all”!!!
and thanks for alluding the possibility of this poster being selected.
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!!
>-
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
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.
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
No worries LUV ;) all i meant was this ‘fillum’ is for people who smoke cigars.
Ah, my husband will enjoy it then! Vxx

Hi Oz, I have uploaded the pic on flickr, but since half an hour i’m trying to figure out the link to that pic. Could you please help me show the poster some daylight
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?
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.

Thanks Oz, I’ve given you the entire link to the flickr… ALso regarding highlighting the Poster Contest, may be you could put it below the No Smoking Blog link.:)>-
@ 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..
Hey Oz, Thanks that was quick…
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…

(i’m just doing this for fun cos i love designing.. when i was a lickle kid i wanted to go into graphic designing but ended up doing something else)
- HG, Love the tagline – Only for Cigar Smokers
@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!!!!=))
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
you know, i thought the tag line only made sense to me… glad to know that you got the tag line as well.
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.
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
- 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 :>
Thanks for the help Oz! I was having a tuff time trying to link it to the flikr page.
babasko so far….

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.
Venetia that is awesome! i’m well impressed with that :x

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…Wow…really good…
- Orange, I like the way you sign it off… K
that is a good one… don’t worry about the size… its the design and concept that the judges will be looking at… the winner’s poster will be redone by professionals at the studio… 
- Venetia, nice concept, though at first glance John looked like a soccer fan with a painted face… ;)
awsome poster venetia… very very attractive

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
lights, big city, urban chic with a futuristic hint of
Alphaville or Blade Runner. And that’s all from me.
@ Venetia.. You deserve a special prize creating so many posters and being so passionate about it…=d>
@ Veneti… Wo Wo.. Great Concepts. I love the Retro One, the first one. I just love it. The Title… The effect you’ve given to john’s face. Now I’ll have to come something with a bang. No Offence… A healthy competition…:-t
- 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 ~:)
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..:)
WOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ANURAG WILL HAVE A TOUGH TIME SELECTING THE BEST POSTER … ALL OF THEM SEEM ROCKING !!!
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

You go for it, Sangeeta! The more the merrier.

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.
- Nice poster Madhumita… being a “duh” in photoshop… would love to know how you got the “smoke” effect…
- jeez HG… you and I were thinking of the same thing!!!
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… )
Now thats like a good film poster. I like it Madhumita

Hey madhumita, I really like your design – simple, graphic and to the point. Vxx

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..
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!
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.

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?

Madhumita, I was wondering how you did that….then i saw it on google! u uploaded it on some other site as well, right?
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!
= Jahan, Check your email ! and good to see you on PFC

= Ashish, Explained above in the comments section is the probable reason for that. Do check it out. A few others had experienced something similar.

Tanushree, atleast you should thanks me. after all you had taken referennce from my poster. number 139
??? hey i did not take reference from ur poster…. my only thought while makin the posters was to not use john or ayesha’s images…that left me to very little choice, so i had to use a cigarette/a cigarette pack.
cheers
and honhaar……thanks very much!
poster is simple…artie, raw
but main thing is…..

Your posters meet both the essential requirements of a good poster – they’re artistic as well as intelligent.

Shmaila I loved your Punchline…great going..keep it up
thank you striker.
i was thinkng about making something else, and this just happened.
#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.
ELVIS….the first one is too good…
liked the mimimalistic approach..

Raaj,
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…
