11strong.com is a browser-based soccer simulation game. If you visit the site, you'll notice that it's very sparse on good graphics. This is where you come in!
Our audience is primarily middle aged (college and up) male.
for this first project, we are looking for 4 images:
- cleats
- shirt
- shorts
- shinguards
1 image for each for now, but in the future, we'll want to distinguish between
cleats that are common/uncommon/rare/etc
These images will be used in the game itself (a player's inventory), and
also as referral images on Facebook. So you can imagine the types of things Mafia Wars sends out for example.
Considering the target audience, we're looking for a more realistic drawing as opposed to a cartoony feel, but it should be "stylized" to maintain consistency between the different pieces of equipment.
Dimension: 80x80
IMPORTANT EDIT:
- Since this will be a standalone image on Facebook, please somehow suggest it is soccer. Be it a faded soccer ball for a background or an actual soccer ball somewhere in the background, though please maintain the focus on the equipment.
