Give the Smackdown

Who Should I Smackdown?

You can smackdown a role within the ad world, like "designers" or "developers." Or, you can smackdown a specific person, like "Bob."

But I'm Not an Artist!

Not sure how to best communicate your passionate disdain for someone? The best way to start is to use our handy Illustrator template, which includes ready-to-use characters and speech bubbles.

Here are some additional ideas to get you started:

  • Sketch your smackdown and scan it or snap an image using your webcam
  • Take a webcam shot of some action figures, then use Photoshop to add speech bubbles
  • Write or type a words-only smackdown, then scan or save it as an image
  • Create an animated gif
  • Use Comic Life on your Mac

What Files are Accepted?

Currently, smackdown files must follow these guidelines:

  • PNG, GIF, or JPG format
  • 630px max width
  • 2MB max filesize
  • Files must not contain nudity, profanity, racial, sexual, or religious material
  • We reserve the right to remove any smackdown that we deem distasteful, offensive, or just plain lame

Someone has to tell them they're lame. You know the type:

  • That creative director whose ideas are always "better"
  • That programmer who is so much smarter than you
  • That useless intern who got hired as a favor to someone
  • That print designer who claims to be a web designer

A little smackdown oughta do 'em some good.
