SWG Re-Read: Banner and Icon post

[oloriel.livejournal.com]

This is our Banner and Icon post! So far, lignota, ljusastjarnan, the_winterwitch, indy1776 and yours truly have provided graphics for this project. Many thanks!

I am not yet including the banners for upcoming chapters, but this post is going to be updated regularly, so any missing banners or icons are going to appear by and by. We'll let you know about updates on one of the other Re-read posts!

Feel free to use these graphics from their current location on the SWG Reading Group photobucket, or upload them to your image host of choice, whichever you prefer!

Any artists who want to contribute further banners or icons (especially for participants) are very welcome to do so! Please follow the guidelines for using images on SWG.) Some suggested text: SWG Re-read 2014, SWG Re-read, Silm Re-read 2014, Silm Re-read (or Silmarillion, if your graphic is large enough), or the individual chapter titles. Size-wise for banners, we're flexible, but something between 260x120 px to 500x250 px is preferred. Icons should be no larger than 100x100 px, of course.

Here's (http://i.imgur.com/Tx3mChO.png) something I created tonight; I realize that Ainulindale is over, but I like a creation tale and abstraction is the easiest to create in terms of copyright and whatnot, haha. But the more I look at it, the more I feel it's too modern. Shall try for a more archaic, traditional tomorrow which can actually be used.

Feel free to use/ignore/hotlink/whatever.

[independence1776]

Modern's fine! It just seems easier to have more archiac things due to the copyright restrictions.

[ljusastjarnan.livejournal.com]

True true, I'm used to working with tv-shows/movies where I can use stills from the source itself, but it's quite different when we only have fanart...

[oloriel.livejournal.com]

Actually, movie stills that LOOK like scenes from the Silmarillion are fine, too. Though of course that's not the same as having a properly themed tv show! But if you come across something that works, you can use it!
(I think of this Merlin icon as "my Lúthien icon", for instance. ;))

[ljusastjarnan.livejournal.com]

Good point. I'll have to do a bit of image scouring whenever I have the time (it seems to be such a rare commodity these days.)

Fingers crossed the Tolkien estate allows for a tv-show/movie in my lifetime! XD

[oloriel.livejournal.com]

And that the show (I think a tv show has a much better chance of doing the wealth of the source material justice than any number of movies can have) is well-executed and not too literally-minded, but not too action-and-special-effects heavy, either! I wouldn't trust PJ to do it well, for instance. (And the one thing worse than no dramatisation, ever, would be an uninspired dramatisation. After all the heaps of excellent fanfic I've read, I'd have seriously high expectations!)

[zdenka]

That banner is lovely! I think it works very well.

[ljusastjarnan.livejournal.com]

Thank you! ;;♥

[hhimring]

The banner looks great to me!

[ljusastjarnan.livejournal.com]

Thank you!! ouo;;

[angelica-ramses.livejournal.com]

I second Lignota and Himring! The abstract style fits the material beautifully!
