THEME: Pioneering the mobile arts. Based on LA Mobile Arts Festival venue: a historic airplane hanger.

CHALLENGE: Create aviation-based and pioneer-related posters or imagery to promote LA Mobile Arts Festival 2012. Take a look at the poster representing this group for inspiration.

CRITERIA:
• Relevance to SMAS as an historic airplane hangar-turned-contemporary arts community
• Imaginative visualization of the term "mobile art" as it takes off worldwide.
• Success in capturing potential sponsor/participants interest in this pioneering art form

RULES
1. Research and download old historic, public domain imagery of early aviation pioneers. Think Write Brothers. Think flying machine contraptions. Anything that might metaphorically evoke the "mobile arts" and the idea of a pioneer. The flickr commons is a great place to find historic public domain images. Here are a couple of links to get you started:

We can also send you a packet of imagery to get you going if you like, just send an email to lamaf@iphoneart.com, subject line: aviation imagery request

2. App away, creating images that relate to our “pioneering mobile artist” theme

3.Add text based on our own sample poster (see above link) —or submit images only and leave it to us to create the text.

4. iPhoneArt.com will review all submissions and select those suitable for collaboration.
