MuseBlog Signatures 2009
In response to several recent requests, your ever-obliging GAPAs have decided to create a 2009 edition of the MB Signature design. You can view previous versions at Musery Loves Company.
In order to have them available in time for end-of-year holidays, we’re going to try working with a shorter deadline than usual: NOVEMBER 22, which is the Sunday before Thanksgiving. So spread the word those of you who know other MBers.
Here’s how to participate:
1. Create your signature, using whatever medium you prefer, traditional or digital.
2. Scan the results, if necessary (preferably at 200 or 300 dpi) A digital photo might work, also, if you have a steady hand.
3. Send by email to gapa @ musefanpage.com (except without the spaces)
OR if you have no way of scanning your signature, you may send it by U.S. mail to: Rebecca Lasley c/o P. O. Box 3, Jamestown NC 27282.
For those of you who email us PLEASE USE DESCRIPTIVE TEXT IN YOUR SUBJECT LINE AND FILE NAMES, e.g., “Lady Bunniful-signature.” Avoid generic phrases like “my signature” or “untitled.”
PREVIOUS PARTICIPANTS: You may send in a new design or request to reuse your old one. But we will not assume you want to be included unless you tell us you do.
SIGNATURE GUIDELINES
LINE WIDTH: Strong, bold lines will print best. Do NOT use pencil, fine-line pens, or their digital equivalent.
SIGNATURE SIZE: Make it big. Probably bigger than you think you need to. There are so many variables, it’s hard to be specific, but if the file size is smaller than 80k, there’s a good chance your drawing is too small. It’s much easier for us to reduce an oversized graphic than it is to enlarge one that is too small.
If you can, print a test copy to see how it looks. Most signatures should print out to at least a couple of inches wide and no less than half an inch in height. Do not judge size by what you see onscreen. Onscreen size does not coincide with reality.
FILE FORMAT: Most any graphic programs will support the following formats: JPG, BMP, PNG, or GIF. (Look under “save” or “export” in the file menu. If you’re thinking of sending anything else, please ask beforehand.
In general, keep your designs bold and simple. Subtle detail will get lost in the printing. Please DO NOT add tag phrases any longer than two or three words. If you do, we will delete them. They look too smudgy when printed at small sizes.
