Does a logo exist for "Mindstreams"?
If not, is it in the mandate to create one?
About size: Would 8.5" x 11" be acceptable?
Is there specific text I should use,
or do I pick and choose from the text in the brief?

Thanks!!!

There is no logo, not mandatory to create one, if you do it should not be the main focus of the creation. (ie the design should be complete without it).
8.5x11 should be fine. The design should not be terribly text heavy (meaning that, again, your submission should not require the text to be complete.).

This should be a visual representation of the information.
Thanks!

Is there another a way to download the log and PDFs? I tried using Safari and firefox, and I can't get access to them. Thank you.

Last question I promise!!!!
So if I'm understanding this correctly it's more "illustrative" than, let's say, an ad promoting and explaining in detail what the product does?

We'll check'em out and see what the issue is.
Thanks!

That is correct, this should be kept as visual as possible. (Illustrative)
Thanks!

Let me add to Drew's helpful comments. With respect to the Logo it is important to note that the NeuroTrax Logo is set. However, we are open to a logo for Mindstreams if you would like to submit this as part of the overall graphical design requested.

Drew is correct, visual graphics that convey our brand footprint from the brief. This could be accomplished in many different creative approaches. We want to see as many of those approaches as possible that position our messaging correctly. The primary audience is the medical professional, just be conscious that a consumer (caregiver to a patient, like a sibling, spouse, child) would want to resonate with it as well so it can't be too complex in nature that a consumer wouldn't get it as well. .

this is the first time i've worked on a project here, and i'm a bit confused. it seems like this site is primarily based on time-based media, like animations or video.

this project isn't going in that direction as i have read above, and you want the design to be able to print on a 8.5x11 piece of paper...
is this all correct?
thanks and sorry for the repeat.
i'm still confused about the whole process is all.

GeniusRocket is about the creation of ALL forms of media, and lately graphic design has been VERY popular.
This campaign is for a "full spread" graphic design that can be used on 8.5"x11" magazine style ads, tri-fold brochures, and large conference style banners.
Thanks!

is the battery order sheet to be filled out prior to examination? is it something that patients fill out with their assumptions or prior knowledge, or is it filled out by the doctor after examination?

also... :)

is there any way to submit pdfs when we are done?

or do we have to upload our images onto a video?

sorry for all of the questions.

The physician fills out the battery order sheet after his/her original clinical patient interview. The doctor suspects disease at that point after the patient interview (first doctor appt.) and selects the battery he/she feels is most appropriate. Then the patient comes back for another appointment and the testing.

A PDF is fine. Video is not required for this project. There will be a video project that is separate that will follow after this project. For now it is purely a graphical illustrative design project. The design and resulting imaging will convey our message and brand positioning and become the backdrop for all future brand messaging including videos.

so we are creating a picture about the objectives right

The project is a "graphical design" project. The image generated will in essence be a picture. It is NOT Video and should NOT be animated. The image will be used for our messaging related to the brand footprint addressed above. I hope this answers your question. Good luck.

Hi! I have a question regarding the overall layout. So it is supposed to be 8 1/2 x 11? (No other sizes?) And is this layout only 1 page as a 1 sided or 2 sided project or can it be numerous pages. Are we supposed to allow for any type of margins or fold lines? That's all the questions I have for now! Thanks!

Great question. Our intent is to multi-purpose this core branding design element throughout multiple branding efforts. For instance we may use it for, a two page (four sides) brochure, trade show booth panels (one image across several panels OR just one panel), a backdrop for Advertisements in journals, a backdrop for educational material pieces, a backdrop for a video project (that we will embark on next) etc. So, as a creator you need to consider the fact that the graphics you design will be used for multiple branding efforts which will require multiple sizes as NeuroTrax embarks on those different projects. We would desire to work with the creator from Genious Rocket forward if the creator would agree to develop the images for the appropriate size and project after the award is granted. For that reason, 8.5x11 seems a good target for this work as it covers our needs for advertisements, educational pieces and our brochure needs. We are open to your creativity and breadth of submission in relations to sizes (panels) and quality (video purposing) taking the needs above into consideration. I hope this helps.

1 Presentation

1 Would you prefer the submission in landscape or portrait format?

2 Do you want to see the NeuroTrax logo incorporated into the design?

Thank you

On presentation we would prefer it in Landscape. Regarding the NeuroTrax logo, yes it would be nice to see it incorporated into the design. Thanks for asking and good luck!

Would you prefer to recieve submissions though the mindstreams@geniusrocket email or the launch it submission form?
Thank you

Good question. I am not sure of a benefit of the launch it submission form over email. So why don't we go with the genius rocket email and save the launch it for any final submission to assure protocol is followed for your sake. Maybe Andrew can shed some light here?

All submissions for this RFB should be submitted via e-mail only. Do not use the launch it button. As of right now the launch it only accepts video, so these graphic designs should be e-mailed.
Thanks!

I can not download any of the files. HELP!

Are you logged in? If so, what browser and platform are you using?

Can we incorporate stock photography in our design?

Yes, stock photography that is not restricted is fine.

As far as stock photography goes, do we actually have to purchase the stock photography now or can we use a temporary fill just in case our work isn't chosen? For instance a photo with a watermark embedded. Some stock photography is expensive and to purchase it before knowing if our work is chosen is quite the investment. Please let me know. Thank you.

Please just use them with the watermark, if you are selected purchasing decisions can be made.
Thanks!

I just submitted my entries via email. Just a suggestion, I think GeniusRocket should have an auto-reply system to acknowledge that you received our RFB entry. This will keep us from wondering if you got our email.

An auto reply would be nice. I'm in favour of it as well! I had sent my file in yesterday and I'm nail-biting to see if it went through.

Joe_three, we received your submission. Thanks. We won't be reviewing until next week.

Xette, wat is your email address? I can't tell if yours was received w/o that.

there is someone who could have an economic advantage by using this software?
A patient that saves money or a doctor who earns more?
any aspect or positive economic return to using this software?
thanks, great software, i love it.

My email address is katelynd.heuts@gmail.com. I sent it the 26 of June and the email title is labeled 'Mindstream Poster + Extra Submission'. The zipfile I sent it in is labeled 'Mindstreams_Katelynd_Heuts'

I had sent it to mindstreams@geniusrocket.com. I was certain in sending it to that address? I'm sorry for the confusion.

I don't mean to be impatient but I am still nail-biting to see if you had received it?

Just curious to know if anyone was selected yet.

There has not been a selection on this RFB, there will likely be an announcement in about a week. (Perhaps less)

Thanks!
Drew

'There hasn't been a selection made' as in they're not going to make a selection at all?

i'm confused too.

i think drew just means it hasn't been made yet.

Sorry if that wasn't clear, but the announcement we expect any day now will be on a selection. If there wasn't going to be a selection at all we wouldn't wait a week to announce :)
Thanks!

Thanks for the confirmation but I am still not sure if they received my entry. I posted the details of my entry above. If you could, I would love to hear if it had been received.

Again thanks! :)

just wondering if there was any news on this rfb

We should be able to announce something on this RFB this coming week. Sorry for the delay, there was a short extension on this RFB and then the client has 30 days to choose (this period is up at the end of this week).

Thanks!
Drew

alright, thanks for the update. i'll check back later this week.

I still haven't received confirmation if my selection has been received by Neurotrax or Genius Rocket. I know there is suppose to be an announcement sometime this week. Supposedly that's by today or tomorrow but I've heard this before. The first time I asked if my submission had been received was June 27th and I still haven't gotten an answer.

We have your submission.

is there still some postponement on this RFB?

Should be ready with some answers today.
Thanks!
Drew
