How to order

So, you are going to order pics, huh? Well, you are welcome! However, there are some things
I need to know. Remember, the more information you can supply me with the faster you can
get your pics.
This is what I want to know:

What kind of graphic?
Use the order names described on the products page.

Colours
Background and font colours mainly. If you have no specific request I suggest you leave this
to me (but then you have to give me your URL. See below).

Text
The text you want your graphic to display. There can be a main text and in perhaps a line of
text in smaller letters underneath. For banners there is also the possibility of having a text in
the background. See banner specifics for details.

Font
Do you want a specific font? Let me know which one and where to get hold of it (in case it is
one I don't have)

Size
This is quite important for me to know. A banner is usually about 408x81 pixels. You don't
have to be precise, a rough estimate will do nicely :)

Your site
This is perhaps the most important piece of information you can provide me with. A look at
the page where you're going to put the graphics can really improve the final graphics. I can
see which colours you are using and make the new graphic blend in.

That's all!

Banner specifics

How to get your own banner
It's easy! Just provide me with the information I need and I will create you banner as soon as I can. So just what information do I need? Look the banner to the right. As you can see it's got a background (in this case a cool texture) on which the text is placed.

The background should be soft and blend in with the page
on which the banner is to be put. So a look at your page
could really be of help. Now on to the text. The picture below the banner shows the various kinds of text a banner could contain.

 


The information I need

As I mentioned before a look at your page could be of
great help. This is of course provided that your page is
up. In any case, below is a list of what I need to know:

Background

Texture and/or colour

Headline text

Wording and colour

Subtext 1

Wording and colour

Subtext 2

Wording and colour. If you want
a second subtext only!

Background text

Word and colour. If you want a background text only!

Fonts

If there is a particular font you
want

Size

For other graphic signs only.
Banners are always 408x81*
pixels (See below!)

Effects

This could be shadows, fog,
light or anything else.

File format

I make graphics in three file
formats: .gif, .jpg and .png

Note: Even if I always make the banners 408x81* pixels
the banner size IS negotiable.
Note: If you can't decide on colours and such why not
leave that to me?
* Adbanners are 468x60 pixels

Headline text
This is where the name of your page goes.

Subtext 1
Can either be a short description of the content of your page, a
slogan to catch peoples attention or simply saying "Click here!"

Subtext 2
Can be a "Click here!" or something else catchy. Personally I feel a
second subtext only mess up the banner. (This banner doesn't have
a second subtext)

Background text
This is not really necessary, but I think it makes the banner look
more professional. (In this banner I used my username here)
