Modern Masters Fever Let your creative spirit be caught by it!
I'm sure many of you would agree that modern is a lovely format. Personally, I felt its arrival as a breath of fresh air. Now that the whole community has settled regarding its appearance and it's developing wonderfuly, WotC has decided that the new generations of players (and the sinior ones as well) deserve to fully enjoy it, and what does this mean? Yes. Many of the old print staples have to be available for them. So, PUFF! New product: Modern Masters it is, and promises to deliver a lot of joy, beside those precious cards we're needing.
We know this special set doesn't need much advertising to be successful. One of many indicators of such statement being all the hype it's getting here and there. Even so, giving it a hand wouldn't hurt anybody, would it? Well, let's have a marqueting creative round in May and produce some fictional billboards, such as those you could find in any card store, and make Tarmo proud of you!
Your challenge:
Create a fictional advertising poster designed to promote the upcomming product: Modern Masters. Even when it's up to you wich cards and/or card artworks to chose to display in your piece and how, you'll be subject to some rules:
- Cards and/or card artworks you use in your creation must belong to WotC and particulary to the game (MtG). They could come from any official product, such as old advertising from the game, card arts, MTGO artwork, etc.
- Those images should also belong to cards/blocks that are legal in modern.
- The whole text content should emulate the original billboards in the way they usually promotes the upcomming sets. Of course, you could be creative here, but try to don't be too creative
- The piece should contain the following line somewere, also being easily readable: -FICTIONAL/UNOFFICIAL CONTENT-
- Please, be sure you provide all the sources from the images you used while sending your entry. Expecting us to examine your piece in order to figure out wich artworks were used and searh for the original artist's names and/or origins of the images isn't an option. Unfortunately, entries sent without this information will not be accepted as valid entries. So make sure you send all the required information.
- Oh, yes. The most important one: Tarmo should be part of the design.
Your reward
The contest winner determined by poll will be rewarded with a digital trophy above his avatar and announced on mtgsalvation home.

What does this mean exactly? Could you give some examples?
What does this mean exactly? Could you give some examples?
Well, since these are made on paper, it's hard to find images that aren't related to auctions in sales sites. If you google something like "mtg + poster + add" or something similar, you would be able to see a couple of these (there's one of Worldwake with JtMS) Even so, here you have some examples I think could illustrate a bit what the task is about: Here and here.
Congratulations to Lanxal for winnig the contest this month! Too bad you had no competitor, but it happens once in a while. Hope we will see you in one of the future contests to come
