SF2023 - Graphics Round

[sportsfest_mods]

The traditional Graphics round gives you the opportunity to make banners and icons for others to use during the event!

It will stay open until the end of the event aka Sunday 27th August.

How does it work?

• You create a set of 2-6 icons or 1-3 banners (or a combination of the two!) for any Nominated Fandom.


• You may use: official series art (screencaps, manga pages, artbook/magazine illustrations, etc.), fanart, quotes, lyrics, gifs, or any other medium. For fanart, gifs, and other fan made content, you must have permission before using them in your graphics.


1. Pixlr - an online image editing program. A great place to start if you're on an older computer or one that's low on hard drive space.
2. GIMP - Despite its unfortunate name, GIMP is an excellent free image editing program.
3. Lost and Taken - A collection of high resolution textures.
4. Font Squirrel, Lost Type Foundry, and League of Moveable Type - Free high quality font resources. They're all hand-picked or created by professional graphic designers.
5. Icon-Extras - A resource for icon tutorials and the like. Also features textures, brushes, bases etc. that are particularly good for icons (rather than the all-purpose textures at Lost and Taken).
6. Resource Cards - This site links to tons of free online resources, everything from fonts to icons to photoshop templates.

Remember that Dreamwidth icons are 100x100, and can have a maximum file size of 40 kb.
Banners are typically around 150-400px tall and 400-800px wide. This is pretty flexible, though.
Twitter banners are 500px tall and 1500px wide.
