Graphics makers needed

We need several graphic makers to create graphics for us, both participant banners and icons. When you create them, please email all banners to b2mem.mod@gmail.com. Anyone is free to create these; no sign-ups are needed.

We also need volunteers to create a small banner and icon for each previous year of B2MeM.

Participant banners:



~ must have "Back to Middle-earth Month 2016," "B2MeM 2016," or "B2MeM '16" somewhere on them.

~ If you wish to work with them, our themes this year are “Memories” and “Celebrating Ten Years of B2MeM.”

~ Any size banner is acceptable. Icons should be 100 pixels by 100 pixels or smaller.

~ You must have permission to use any artwork or photography that you use on the banner/icon. This means that any artwork or photography used must satisfy at least one of the conditions below:
  • The artwork/photography is your own work, or you own the rights to the work.

  • The artwork/photography is in the public domain.

  • You have written permission from the artist/photographer to use her or his work, including making modifications, such as cropping or adding text.

  • The artwork/photography is clearly labeled with permission to use the work for nonprofit uses, including making modifications, such as cropping or adding text.

  • Screen captures from the movies are acceptable.


~ Any artwork or photography used must be suitable for all audiences, i.e., it should not include nudity, blood/gore, or anything more than mild sexuality (hugging, kissing, etc.).

~ Files should be saved in .JPG, .PNG, or .GIF file formats. Please use the Save for Web feature (or its equivalent for your software), if available, to keep file sizes manageable.

Yearly prompt banners



These also need to follow the above permission rules for graphics. Each year needs both a banner and an icon. In order to prevent confusion with previous, they need to clearly show that they are for B2MeM 2016 and/or state "Remembering [year]." Whether or not you use images from that year is up to you.

Please either leave a comment here or email us at b2mem.mod@gmail.com if you are interested in creating these banners. So there is no duplication of effort, we will be assigning them.
We have all the volunteers we need (thank you!); assignments have been sent.

I would love to do some applicable banners and/or icons. (Probably would like to do matching sets of larger, smaller, and icon-size.)

ETA: Sorry--the lady who cannot read instructions--I honestly thought I understood this post on first read, but now have a major question. Not sure I understand this sentence:

We also need volunteers to create a small banner and icon for each previous year of B2MeM.

So how are you going to choose who gets to make the small banner and icon or each year--I noticed on second read it is stated in the singular, i.e., I would read that to mean you only want/will approve one banner an icon for each previous year?

Glad I asked. It just occurred to me, that if they are limited to one set each, maybe I probably should not take up a space--I am not one of the better artists who is likely to be interested in this assignment.

Save me as a pitch-hitter. If you do not have a large enough number of volunteers, I am eager to fill in to make the numbers more manageable.

All right. I'll aim to have them done sometime this week.

Definitely willing to give it a try, as always most times!

No problem!
Just to clarify: That also means I'm up to making some yearly prompt banners, if you're still looking for someone.

And a question:
Would it be OK to combine
must have "Back to Middle-earth Month 2016," "B2MeM 2016," or "B2MeM '16" somewhere on them and If you wish to work with them, our themes this year are “Memories” and “Celebrating Ten Years of B2MeM.”
into "2016 - Celebrating Ten Years of B2MeM" (instead of "B2MeM 2016" + "Celebrating Ten Years of B2MeM")?

I fear I'm clueless with graphics but I am happy to allow banner makers to use any of the photos in my Flickr albums. I have a lot of photos of woodlands and flowers.
