Last call for graphics design help for 10th birthday cards!

[dawn_felagund]

We are still looking for volunteers who would be willing to help us design the birthday cards for our upcoming 10th birthday celebration. You don't need to be a graphics expert to be of assistance. Any amount of help is useful, even just one or two cards!

If you're interested, comments are open here, or email us at moderator@silmarillionwritersguild.org.

Many thanks to those who have volunteered or assisted with this project in other ways! :)

I can do a few.

Excellent! Thank you! I'm working on the shared document now, so look for an invite in the next half-hour or so ...

I'm sorry I know nothing about graphics but you would be welcome to use any of my photos on Flickr for cards.

Thank you! Should we credit you in any particular way? (If you already specified on the other post, no need to say again here; I just haven't made my way over there yet, but it is my next stop. :)

You are welcome. Just photo by Linda Hoyland. If you are looking for any special theme such as trees or water, let me know and I'll find the appropriate albums. I'm lucky the scenery near me is fairly Tolkienesque!

Thanks muchly on both! :)

Oh, I meant to volunteer for this earlier--I'm happy to help with a few cards (maybe more if I can manage it). I've done some semi-decent graphics in recent years, so they'll be passable at least, I think. :P

Ah, I'm very glad I posted this last call! It has only ever been mixed up with other announcements, and I suspected the lack of response was partially due to that. I'm working on a shared document now, so look for an invite in the next half-hour or so.

And thank you thank you thank you. :)

Thank you for the reminder - I meant to sign up but completely forgot about it. My skill in graphics hasn't improved, but I'll try my best! :)

Oh, and if anyone would like to use my Tolkien artwork for this project, feel free.

[dawn_felagund]

Thank you so much for both! Would you like credit on your art in any particular way?

I'm putting together a shared document for the project now. I should have invites sent out in the next half-hour or so.

I haven't really given that any thought. Yeah, I suppose some sort of credit would make sense (in case anyone likes the artwork so much they want to see more, haha). Perhaps the URL of the artwork on dA? That's probably more useful than "Artwork by Lyra/Qitian" (who the hell is that anyway? ;)).
But if you've already a standard credit line for other artists, I'm willing to adapt to that!

Got the link; now I just have to wait for ideas!

[dawn_felagund]

Thanks, Lyra! We don't have a standard format, so URL works fine. :)
