Contest Brief

Use:
Greeting card concept for sending someone (i.e. family/friend/school/work,etc.) a special message (i.e. a warning or final warning for his/her misbehavior, foul).

Looking inside (!) the folded card (confronted with your cartoon or illustration), the recipient of the card immediately recognizes himself or herself. He or she (!) is a notorious liar. Someone who tells obvious lies just to make themselves look good, but infact make themselves look stupid and pathetic purely because they think everyone acctually believes them! Try to show different liars. Liar in family, among friends, at work, study, etc

Style:
- Strong symbolism is the key;
- Cartoonesk, serious but fun;
- Wordless/pantomime cartoon.

Bonus points
Sexe/gender neutral (if chosen otherwise, bonus for female + male version in one entry)

Tip:
Including the effect of the behavior/foul.

Multiple winners:
We expect this to adjust multiple winning designs (max 7). Quality and variety will tell.

Have fun!

Due to concept, please present illustration portrait orientated (as opposed to landscape orientated).

High quality vector art,: Adobe illustrator (.ai), RGB or Photoshop (.psd).

  He is the classic lying businessman who receives money of the others.

@24 if I look at your illustration I would think that the man is talking to his friend about a girl that he has fallen in love with. I don't see someone lying.

  Hi Patrick, the whole idea for this it's that the girl is telling him that she's blond, with big lips, big breast and blue eyes. That's why she putting some extensions in her hair. I can make some other object to see this crearly if you choose me. Thanks :)

@ all, this is a difficult one. The message is about: stop lying, I just have enough of it, from now on start telling the truth. Or, you better tell the truth now.
