Are There Any Graphic Artists Here?

[anthony]

I am looking for a creative graphic artist who wants to give their time to create some beautiful advertisement banners for MyPTSD, so that I can use them to both advertise, and place on a page here for people to use when linking to the site from their own. Primarily for me to use advertising on other health related websites.

I am after, specifically:

1. 300 x 250
2. 728 x 90
3. 125 x 125

The logo font is: harabara

I can give logo specifics on discussion via PC.

If the person isn't already a premium member, then I'm happy to give them lifetime premium membership in exchange if the three sizes above are absolutely creative and awesome according to the members, who will judge all images for use.

If I could have a bit more detail of what you want. I may be able to have a go - I wouldn't want to say I can do it without hearing what you want first as I wouldn't want to disappoint.

My graphic art degree is pre-computers (1986) so essentially worthless for coding. I do know of two people on the outside who do it for a living with sensitivity to our area. If no one offers please let me know and I will try to reconnect. One of them ran their own website for a long time to assist others with recovery and better choices in selection inappropriate relationships. (Just a slight word of mention, they are both aligned with higher powers.) Both are tempered well and I respect them.

Let me know and I will try.

Kas_Can_Fly just posted, never mind. lol

I would say personally, I am not entirely confident in my volunteering! I would try and probably do something quite good, but I am very worried it won't be what is sought after, so if there are other options to maybe message them first. I don't know, I recently did something for a friends publishing company and even though I by far succeeded his expectations it was informal and there was no risk in it! I could PM that to you Anthony it's very different to what you might be seeking but hopefully it will give you an idea of my abilities but feel free to wait and hear out others or get someone else to do it - I don't know if I'd trust me but that said, I'm not incompetent at it - I am pretty creative. :)

**Eek**

I'd be very happy to take a look at it, after a bit more info either here or via PC.

I have no graphic design qualifications, however, I do enjoy creating digital art, which you have seen in my media album. I've also done quite a lot of other design work, mostly for the band that I play for. Mostly posters, tickets, and programmes for concerts, which I can show you, if you want. Generally, they give me an overall theme for the concert, which is usually pretty broad, such a 'music from stage & screen', and sometime no theme at all other than it's a springtime concert.

Anyway, send me more info, if you'd like me to give it a go. (If you hate it, it doesn't matter, because I just enjoy the challenge of being creative, but equally, I'm open to opinions as to how to make what I create better, or more suitable or whatever).

I'd be happy to make some for voting on. Who are your target audiences? What text must be included? Are these to include a set logo?

I make over 200 graphics a year for the web, billboards, tv advertisements, social media campaigns. My job as a webmaster requires the graphic design skill set as part of the job.

What info do you require. Yes... I do remember your graphics I've seen as being somewhat impressive, to say the least.

Who are your target audiences? What text must be included? Are these to include a set logo?

Those with something to do with mental health. The sites advertised upon will be health based / natured. The text is up to you / voting up and possible further suggestions. I will leave that to the creative minds, which isn't me. Yes, the logo must be the logo used here, however; the logo can be placed differently on banners to fit other ideas, e.g. the PTSD can be placed under the "my" to square up the logo if needed.

To be specific for the font, the following is what's used here so proportions are correct:

font: 50px (my) - 70px (ptsd) harabara regular
font colour (my) - #fff - text-shadow: 1px 1px 1px #fff, -1px -1px 1px #000
font colour (ptsd) - #0072e4 - text-shadow: 1px 1px 1px #fff, -1px -1px 1px #000;
background radial width: 100px;
background radial colour (outer to inner): #969696 - #1c1c1c

I think I'm going to bow out of this one, I'm going away for a fortnight and whilst I could take my laptop, it seems like you've got plenty of other people who feel more at home doing what you require! Plus, if I'm honest my anxiety has spiked and negative thoughts processes have taken over, whilst I could challenge them and do this, I see you've got plenty of help on offer now but I will take that to therapy to work on!

Thanks for the opportunity however and I hope this doesn't come as a disappointment. If for any reason you are exceptionally disappointed I will check my emails and notifications here and can have a look at it whilst I am away and/or when I get back. Once again sorry but thanks.

Don't feel bad Kas... I can do banners and that myself, but I don't have that graphic eye that a graphic artist / graphic type of person does. There are artists in this world, and I'm not one of them. So whilst I can do it, it wouldn't be as good as what I would expect from someone graphically minded.

 

[BloomInWinter]

@anthony , is there a requirement for compression algorithm, such as "must be .png" or "must be saved as .jpg"?

Also, is there a pixel resolution requirement? Such as "hi res" or "72 dpi" or "300 ppi"?

 

[anthony]

Decent resolution is sufficient... i.e. mobile device zooming. I have plenty of graphics software that can do all such things if I need, so just raw state is fine.

If you still havent found anyone , let me know , I am a graphic artist, as well as a fine artist, and have years of experience doing all kinds of things including movie splash pages, drinks, juices, cosmetics and much much more, I would happily volunteer my services in any way I can
