I'm going to be moving my blog to the Freethought Blogs network soon, and I need a banner! Any designers out there want to help? I'll send you copies of all four of my books if I use your design!
Specs:
The banner needs to be 728x120 pixels.
It needs to have the title of the blog, "Greta Christina's Blog," in pretty big letters.
It needs to have the tagline of the blog, "Atheism, sex, politics, dreams, and whatever. Thinking out loud since 2005." in smaller letters.
It doesn't have to incorporate my portrait pic, since that will be on the blog elsewhere. But it can incorporate it if you can make it work.
I'm not a designer, and don't know what else to say in terms of specs or vision or what I'm looking for generally. But if you ask me questions, I'll answer them as best I can. You can check out see what the other Freethought Blogs bloggers are using for banners, if that helps.
And my books are:
Best Erotic Comics 2008
Best Erotic Comics 2009
Paying For It: A Guide by Sex Workers For Their Clients (now out of print, except on Kindle)
Three Kinds of Asking For It: Erotic Novellas by Jill Soloway, Greta Christina, and Eric Albert
I'm very much looking forward to this transition -- and I think a good banner could definitely help draw and keep traffic. Holler if you want to help out!
I'm no good at design but I just want to say I'm looking forward to following you over at Freethought blogs, Greta. All my favorite bloggers in one convenient place.

I don't suppose nudity is allowed?

Sunday at the very latest. I'm switching to Freethought Blogs on Sept. 1, and need the banner a few days before that.
Alas, no.
Apparently not. It got cut off. Try emailing it to me, greta (at) gretachristina (dot) com. Thanks!

In Firefox if I select "view image" on the cut-off banner it will still show the full image that way...

Hmmm do comments with hyperlinks get automatically deleted?
Posted by: Aggelosbiou | August 23, 2011 at 06:50 PM
Comments with multiple hyperlinks will. I'll try to find it and publish it.

I like the version 1 they share is a good design.

I am grateful that I have identified this blog. As a final point one thing not a crap, which we examine incredibly usually. The weblog is lovingly operated and updated. So it need to be, thank you for this welcome transform.
