I come out of nowhere with a request. The event handout will be
Crier-sized and I hope to have a color cover with the KWHSS logo. It
also needs header text, to wit:
Known World Heralds' and Scribes' Symposium AS XXXXV
Kingdom of An Tir
hosted by the Shire of Dragon's Mist
Each line a separate bit that can be positioned on the page around the
logo and incidental images (I'm hoping for a fade of one of the really
good-looking PacU buildings wallpapering our logo and text).
Naturally, punctuation is disposable.
Scribes need to supply this for the cover of the site booklet! It
must be a hand that's generally readable and thoroughly period. Black
is preferred but if there's something funky and also period (dark is
required, background will be gray or gold), go for it. Sebastian can
vector-map and scale down pretty much anything, so larger is quite
acceptable. It's possible the words might be enarched in some way in
the end product. I'm seriously hoping for the fold to be on top and
copy open to page size to facilitate class grids, so think 'working in
landscape'.
We could also make use of borders and incidentals like drolleries for
the internal copy. Not critical but would make this something really
special. Line drawings and shading, no color on the inside. Something
to make the copy inviting to thumb through and to keep for future
reading and the whole 'look at this' factor when attendees get home.
Again, we have the technology to resize, so we can work with larger
images.
There is no reason under the sun we should use clip art for this, not
with the scribal talent we have in An Tir!
