We Need Your Submissions For Back-of-Meme Designs!

Every meme issued on Meme Factory will by cryptographically unique from the next. Much like physical playing cards, in order to unify the cards as a single set of collectibles, they all need an identical and identifiable back. As players browse through Meme Factory, they’ll be able to click on various Memes to turn them over.

While we’ve had a great number of Dank Logo and Memes submitted, we can use more of your submissions for the back-of-meme design. Your designs can be submitted until 8:00am PDT (5:00pm CEST) Monday September 10th, 2018.

Requirements:

Designs should be submitted in .svg format.

PNG is acceptable if you are unable to access the proper resources to create an .svg.

Winning designs will tie all cards together, making them as “meme factory minted”, “provably rare”, “certified DANK”, etc. Draw inspiration from traditional physical collectible cards if possible.

The exact size and shape of memes have been decided in Week 2 of voting — 375 x 563. Larger is acceptable, but it must scale to that dimension.

Below we attached an early iteration of what the back of the Meme might look like — in many contexts there will be buttons, biographies, and stats overlaying the back/front of a card. In addition, we’ve included some early submissions to give you an idea.

Free Design Tools/Resources

Don’t have access to Adobe Illustrator or Photoshop? No problem! There are plenty of great free design tools and software out there that will let you express your creativity.

Canva is a free web-based design app you can use to quickly create designs for nearly any purpose. This is a simple drag and drop interface that allows you to quickly put designs together without expensive software like Photoshop. You could use this for the Meme Factory card backs.

Create whatever you’ve imagined in seconds. Choose from 200+ fonts, 70,000+ vectors, and shapes, and play with photo effects until your graphic is perfect — no design experience required. This free tool will allow you to resize your design down to the perfect 375 x 563 resolution.

Remember this classic software? Originally launched in 2004 — Paint.net is a powerful, easy-to-use image editor that offers features similar to those that you’ll find in Adobe Photoshop and GIMP. Paint.NET features layers, enabling you to edit specific areas of your image, or build up an image from a number of different sections. Paint.NET also supports user-created plugins, which add even more filters and functions. It does only run on Windows, however.
