RE: Calling Steemit Artists and Graphic Designers - $50 SBD Bounty for a "Welcome to Steemit" Banner
Resteeming.
Also, it would be helpful for anyone to have ideal width and height measurements. I believe the most common width for a website banner is from 960 to 1280 pixels and the height depends on font and overlays (like how your profile pic might impede on your twitter header). Standard might be 300 pixels but can be adjusted to be a thicker or thinner banner.
Thanks @merej99!
We are going to try and make whatever we get as far as sizes to work, but until we start plugging the images in and seeing how they look at different sizes - we don't really know for sure.
The current "Welcome to the Blockchain" banner (different and unrelated to what we are working on) is 504x183. This is one that can be "tiled" though, so it doesn't matter as much.
@bitcoiner was also saying that 840px wide that still looks good when resized down to 320px is a good target to aim for as far as format 2. The height in this shouldn't matter too much, as long as it is not excessively tall.
People who work in digital artistry usually work in a huge dimension (of pixels) and scale it down at the end. So, whatever we get is really... just being lazy. Choose a size. Or choose some sizes.
You have developed a web page, and it only looks good at certain sizes-ranges. So, you should know these and be able to give a guestimate of what you will be wanting.
And, the aspect ratio is really what the designer needs. If you want a square, that is whole lots different then long narrow top bar pictuer
I'm sorry, but we do not have a set size. In general, it should probably be a rectangle (wider than it is tall).
@bitcoiner and I do not work for Steemit, and we did not develop the site. We are just two people from the community that are trying to help contribute and make it better.
There are quite a few different sizes that should work. We plan to try out whatever people send us.
