State of the Comm

[eerian_sadow]

lol! so much for monthly State of the Community posts! i've been having a rough time of it since June, though, and that hasn't left me a lot of room for actually thinking about my communities too hard. hopefully that's getting better, though

Ummm, what kind of graphics are we talking about here? Size? Content? Frequency of use?

Also, I remember offering you graphic work for a comm before I dropped off the face of the net but I can't remember which one that was.

[eerian_sadow]

umm... i'm not sure what sort of size, because i have no idea how big a standard banner is. graphics cluelessness and all that.

and you know, it might have been this one! i'm forever needing someone who'll make prize graphics over here.

Now that's a bit of dilemma, as I'm not familiar with banners either. A quick google found this, and even if they're for ads, any preferences?

Do you know what you're looking for? Or at least seen some others you liked that you can link?

And that's good, feel a bit like a heel for dropping out when I was about to help out. And until I saw this, I'd completely forgotten about it.

hmm... that biggest one at the top is a bit too long. i think most of what we've been doing is about half that size? i really only want something about the size of what vejiraziel makes for the challenges at prowlxjazz.

i will go digging for you for size examples and such when i'm not passing out asleep from my allergy meds. an hour ago, i could have handled it, no problems. now the very idea makes me tired. (stupid meds) character preferences, of course, would simply be based on things relevant to this community. (so, combiner teams.)

hey no worries! ^_^ the fact that you came back makes up for it.

[ink_in_hand]

That's all I need to know. Saved one of the banners at the comm then checked out its' dimensions.

Getting combiner teams onto one of those small things is going to be a challenge. And do you want it to say anything beyond the name of the comm? (cause I really kinda suck at putting text on pictures)

Aw, thanks. Happy to be back.

Also, a few ideas for prompts:

"Codependency" Being permanently part of a team can lead to a mental issues, no matter how great it is.
"Keystone" No matter what, there's always someone who's the torso/center of a gestalt.
"An Arm and a Leg" The saying has a tad different meaning when you're an actual arm or a leg.

ah, awesome! :D

hey, work with whatever comes to you, whether it's individuals, the combined forms or whatever. ^_^ the text will need to include the name of the challenge and the comm, but that's it.

oh, those are great prompts! <3

How soon would you like the next one? *is feeling artsy, if currently mythological-wise* ...And I'm really not sure how I'd incorporate the current challenge, Optimus Prime has never been a biting bunny for me.

Eeee,you like them.

[eerian_sadow]

well, i won't actually need the next one until the end of this challenge, but as we have no participation yet, i don't think you need to jump right on getting to work. once things start coming in, we can discuss ideas more in depth if you'd like?

[ink_in_hand]

Sounds good. Never done this thing before and having some direction from the comm mod will help.

[eerian_sadow]

*thumbs up* can totally help with directing. ^_^ now i just hope that someone aside from me enters a piece.
