Mod: Codename: Dead Bird - HUD and Main Menu Contest Thread

Hey everyone, Today I'm having a contest for your guys. But first off I'd like to thank ea-ct for providing those awesome prizes!

We're launching this contest the give everyone, a chance to contribute to our mod! The contest is about designing a concept for our HUD and/or main menu.
Of course here we don't await a highly polished wonderful looking peace of concept art here. This is because we want to reward the best ideas and not only the person with the best drawing skills. (Obviously a good looking peace of art is a plus compared to a concept done in paint )

Contest Assignments:
HUD
We're trying to create a minimalistic HUD, so we probably won't use a health/stamina bar, mini-map and a display of the currently selected weapon (you're having the weapon in your hands anyway...). But since it's hard to create something innovative on such small place and we don't just want to copy existing minimalistic HUDs we need your help to create this last small but important part of our HUD.
Suggested HUD contents:
· Bullet/Mag count
· Currently selected grenade and grenade count
· Current fire mode (semi/full auto, grenade or rocket)
Main Menu
We'd like to show something innovative and new in the menu, but we didn't yet have that awesome idea we need for it. So if you're having some really nice ideas for our main menu in mind this is for you!
Menu Points we need are:
· New Game
· Load Game
· Settings
· Credits
· Exit

How exactly this stuff looks is up to you!

Submission:
Submission starts today!
Submission ends with the release of the Crysis 2 PC demo we all are waiting for! (I hope Crytek doesn't take up too much time with this)

You can submit your entre via contest@codename-deadbird.com. Make sure to include contact data (preferably MSN, Skype or ICQ) so we can contact you.

Cool! I suck at designing (original) HUDs but I might give this a try. When is 'the day the Crysis 2 PC Demo is being released'? I thought Crytek didn't anounce a date yet? So it's a 'vague' deadline date?

unfortunately I can't do Main Menus or HUDs but I can say that I'm proud owner of 2 (Yes! TWO!) Crysis 2 "I love NY" T-Shirts
and they are awesome, so good luck.

I would like to try but i dont want you to laugh at me

i am decent but not great

The contest is rather about the idea of the HUD/main menu than about the art itself, so there isn't anything you can do wrong

Hey everybody,
the contest is getting closer to its end, the crysis 2 pc beta/demo is being released this Tuesday.
Make sure to finish your concept and submit it to us so you’re in the pool for our awesome prizes!
The submission ends 1. March 2011.

Hope to see your concept in my inbox soon!
Greetings
Horst

so who won ?
