Having engaged in a long, complex, development process, scragged it all, and started over on something saner, we're approaching needing some actual graphics work for the improved, upgraded dragaera.info web site. I'm hoping there's an artist or two in the audience that would be willing to do a little work in exchange for credit. (Me, I'm doing the design and programming for free, *and* providing the hosting; there isn't money available to pay anything tolerable for the artwork either, I'm afraid.) While I can be convinced to change the overall design for a good enough idea, here's what I'm looking for right now: Minimum: An illustration for the left side of the page headers; about 150 pixels high, not much more than 350 pixels long, and black background (so it can be extended into a black bar across the whole top of the page). Then I need a light color (which I'm using for the text over the black bar, and the background of the content area, and the text on the black navigation buttons), and an intermediate color (that I'm using for the navigation bar on the left, with black buttons on it); both colors to relate to the colors in the illustration. This header would be used on every page in the site, with different titles superimposed on the right. Next step up, for the more ambitious: A header as above to be used on all the subsidiary pages, and a fancier header for the homepage only. The homepage header could be somewhat taller. It doesn't have to leave room for text, but in that case should incorporate "Dragaera" or "dragaera.info". Shouldn't be more than about 700 pixels wide, and designed so it can be extended into a bar across the top of the screen with the artwork centered and still look good (so it works well on different window sizes). Of course the homepage and the subsidiary page headers should "relate" somehow, and should work with the same colors on the rest of the page. A fancier button design that goes with the headings could be used, if you want to do one. Static artwork only; no flash or animations need apply. I've got a mockup I'm working with, which is based on artwork we can't use (but I needed something to work out the templating with). I can send a screen shot of a page the way it looks now if you need a clearer understanding of how I'm thinking. -- David Dyer-Bennet, <dd-b at dd-b.net>, <www.dd-b.net/dd-b/> RKBA: <noguns-nomoney.com> <www.dd-b.net/carry/> Photos: <dd-b.lighthunters.net> Snapshots: <www.dd-b.net/dd-b/SnapshotAlbum/> Dragaera mailing lists: <dragaera.info/>
