No, that image is just an example of designing work. It's not the banner at all. Cheers, Sylvia On 22/01/2016, Ryan Lerch wrote: > On 22/01/16 16:27, Justin W.

I would agree that banner is probably a bad stylistic match for a series on design tools. :-) Perhaps it's possible to have something more playful, but still allow text to help advertise the content. Ideally, we could slightly alter the design for each article, so they would feel connected. What about using a mask, similar to how this banner does? https://fedoramagazine.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/2015-review-pre-945x400.jpg Perhaps a "porthole" that peeks in at some more vibrant art, but with the text label off to the side? -- Paul W.

This image seems very bright and saturated to me. But that may not be a bad thing if you are trying to highlight the crazy things you can do with a tool. For a series, though, it would be helpful if the banner is more standardized. That way it's easy for other people to help create them for future articles. Notice how the banners for the systemd series has a theme. Check out the right side of this article and see the banners for all the entries in the series: http://fedoramagazine.org/systemd-getting-a-grip-on-units/ Notice also that each banner has wording that tells the viewer what to expect in the article. That's helpful for a series as well. Each featured image banner is used not just on the Magazine site, but also in social media to attract readers. People often look at the image before they read any text, and this can draw them to read the article. I would recommend having a more "standardized" banner for the featured image that sits above the article and in social media. But then you could use this type of "artistic" image in the body of the article. That could immediately follow the introductory paragraph to show off some output from the design tool. (That would be different from images of the tool itself, which could be in screenshots later in the article.) I think that might be a very interesting way to entice people to keep reading. -- Paul W.

Ah, okay. I'll make a bigger picture, no problem. But the image itself is alright or should I paint or shoot something else?

Mmm... That's kinda complicated. I can do a bigger image, I guess, but I was told that size, so I did it. S. -- marketing mailing list marketing@lists.fedoraproject.org List info or to change your subscription: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing
Re: Banner and design series
Actually, 1890x800 is what we use for the images -- because we want them to look good on 4K, Retina, and other HD displays. Once again, if you follow the instructions I laid out here -- making a graphic in SVG form following the template, and then using the built-in 'make .jpg' rule, you'll get the right size. https://fedoramagazine.org/creating-a-featured-image-for-a-fedora-magazine-article/ If you do make that graphic in SVG form, mail it to me or Ryan and we'll be happy to add it to the repo. I didn't want anyone to have to learn git just to contribute graphics. Paul On Sun, Jan 17, 2016 at 01:21:00PM -0200, Sylvia Sánchez wrote: > Excellent!
