Hi guys,

I just heard about something that has been set up for siggraph, but

there's a pressing need:

One of the Blender folks can print us banners, connected to a "banner stand" like this:
http://www.nomadicdisplay.com/displays/banner-stands/signline-swift/

We won't put them on the tables, but next to the tables. Two banner stands can hold each two prints, on each side.

Here's a simple mockup, so you got the idea: http://www.blender.org/bf/sb.jpg

The prints will measure 30 x 60 inch each.

So here's a todo for GNOME and Uni-verse: deliver me a design for that print (you're full free in that of course!). The fourth banner will be shared for Aqsis and Inkscape. I will connect the Inkscape designer with the Aqsis one (who happens to be sponsor for this stuff).

Deadline: ASAP! Well, I give you guys 10 days. July 21 we then can start printing.

Can someone do a 30" x 60" banner design for GIMP & GNOME for me this week, by any chance? Please? It should have both the GNOME logo and Wilber, but aside from that you're free.

Cheers, Dave.

Who would print it? And how?
Any specific materials or do you plan to "cut-n-tape" ordinary color-printouts?

A good banner printed on "plastic cloth" is not too easy to have done even if you have the master layout. It usually takes a week or two. (At least here in Sweden). But maybe you have a good screen print company close by who can get it done for you in a hurry.

Hi everyone

I see time is limited for this, but I would really like more than one artist to collaborate and do this as a team. That's all I have to add.

The Blender foundation are taking care of printing, we just have to get them something within the week.

No idea - perhaps the website I pointed to has more information.

Cheers, Dave.

Given the time constraints, and previous experience with this kind of thing, design by committee is definitely not a good idea. One artist with his own artistic vision should be able to come up with a first draft in an evening (bearing in mind that this should be visually clear from a distance, and thus simple).

Cheers, Dave.

I am not too much of a designer (and quite tied uop anyhow) so i'll pass this call...
Nice of you to ask though.. :)

Please publish the final design for us all to see

Hi Dave,

Here's a quickie minimalistic banner. Not really knowing any catchy slogans, it's simply stating the project name. Feel free to modify, it's Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike.

Some technical notes - Inkscape 0.44 seems to have problems with clipped objects. If you don't see the gnome foot or Wilber when you open the SVG, select the Wilber/GNOME layer, select all with Ctrl+A, release mask with object>clip>release and apply it again with object>clip>set.

cheers

Thanks Jakub!

Any chance that you can send me the SVG? ;-)

All that's needed really is the project name, website, and maybe a glimpse of a screenshot, I think. I've had few guidelines, artistic licence is the order of the day. No catchy slogans required :)

Cheers, Dave.

Hi all,

By the way, in case I wasn't clear before - this is one 30"x60" banner for both the GIMP and GNOME.

If in doubt, then GNOME should be the dominant theme on there.

Cheers, Dave.

Why does GIMP and GNOME have to go on a single banner? We were always trying not to promote GIMP as a pure GNOME application. This seems to contradict this effort.

There are 4 demo placements in the stand - one for blender, one for Uni-Verse, one for the GIMP and GNOME, and one for "other projects" - Inkscape among others. So the GIMP and the GNOME demo placement are at the same place, thus on the same banner.

This even more simplistic version tries to give a bit of separation while being somewhat integral. This statement has been brought to you by the people who brought you Tango. Yes we're a bit schizoid. :)

P.S.: yes I almost forgot to provide the links this time again. Sorry about that earlier. I thought and evolution made me believe that I cought the mail before it was sent.
