The Side-Out Foundation

The Side-Out Foundation (Side-Out) was established in 2004 to unite volleyball players and coaches and to have them work toward the common goal of furthering breast cancer awareness, education and patient services. Side-Out supports teams nationwide in their volleyball tournaments, clinics and other fundraising efforts. The foundation offers practical support for fundraising in addition to educational material for participants in order to help them become effective advocates for breast cancer. We contribute the funds to organizations that serve breast cancer patients, whether it be in the form of research, medical services or compassionate support.

We need a redesign on 3 plaques that we give to our teams that donate funds to us. One is 6x8 inches. one is 8x10 inches and the last one is 12x12 inches. The artwork is heated onto tiles and they have a glossy finish. I have attached our current plaque designs.

Here is what we want in terms of an update:

1. More Color. See attached Palettes (color-scheme-232-main.png)...bright and vibrant.  Make the pink variations the primary colors.

2. Player Silhouettes are OK but maybe use different ones. Do not use photographs...we want this to be vector only.

3. Try to bring in our Dig Pink and Side-Out Logos into the design in some way.

4. Modern design. Needs to be prestigious and professional looking.

5. Text will be all the same on the design and you can use the signature in the other plaque artwork.

6. The levels are SERVICE ACE, HARD HITTING, AND ABOVE THE NET. All volleyball concepts. We have added pictures of players doing these things.

As you make designs I may change my viewpoint if you do some cool stuff.
