Breaking Bad Creative Brief
- Text by HUCK HQ
To celebrate the release of the Breaking Bad Limited Edition Blu-ray Steelbooks, featuring exclusive artwork by legendary British cartoonist Ralph Steadman, we’re launching a brand new Breaking Bad-themed creative brief. Let’s get cooking…
The Brief
We want you to design a piece of artwork based on your favourite scene from Breaking Bad. Your design can be as simple or as intricate as you like, and you can use whichever materials you feel most comfortable working with.
The Prize
The prize for the overall winner, as decided by a special guest judge, will receive a Sony 55″ TV (KD55X9005A) plus the complete set of Ralph Steadman designed Steelbook Blu-rays (six in total).
The first runner-up will receive a copy of the Breaking Bad Season 1 steelbook, a poster signed by creator Vince Gilligan and Aaron Paul, plus a Breaking Bad goodie bag.
The prize for the second runner-up is a Breaking Bad goodie bag. All entries will be presented in a special gallery after the closing date on the LWLies Facebook page.
How To Enter
Email your entry to competitions@tcolondon.com with the subject line ‘Breaking Bad competition’ by midnight on Monday 2 February 2015. You can also tweet or Instagram your design @LWLies with the hashtag #breakingbadcomp. We’ll announce the winner a week after the competition has closed.
Entrants can send a viewing version but should keep a hi-res copy big enough to be printed full sized on stand-by. Specifications are as follows:
Size: Portrait 400mm (width) x 574mm (height) — Hi-res version at 300dpi RGB format — Low-res (.jpeg) viewing version at 72dpi RGB at 1200px wide.
Official Synopsis: Vince Gilligan’s award-winning drama series Breaking Bad follows a high-school science teacher Walter White who turns to drug production and dealing after he is diagnosed with terminal cancer. Over five series, Walter — and his lovably hopeless sidekick Jesse Pinkman — navigate the strange and dangerous underworld of Albuquerque, New Mexico, encountering a colourful collection of screwloose characters and a whole host of soul-searching moral dilemmas along the way.
The Breaking Bad Limited Edition Blu-ray Steelbooks, designed by Ralph Steadman, are available exclusively at zavvi.com
