Announcement: Banner Challenge

audienta October 26th, 2023

Hello everyone,

Today, I have an exiting announcement! As you might have noticed, the trauma support community hasn't had a banner on the home page for a while. It's time to change that! 


Challenge

You have time until November 19th to create a banner and send it to me via an imgur link. You can also post it in this thread if you want to.

Specifics: The size of the banner should be 1635*310px and the format should be .jpg.


Voting

In the week of November 20th, I'll post all the banners in a new thread for the community to vote on. The banner with the most hearts will be set as a banner for the trauma support community.


I'm looking forward to your proposals!

Take care,

audienta

Hey! It's the banner as a background for the trauma support community. I've marked in red for your reference. 🙂

Ouh, this sounds awesome! ❤️ but i’ve got one question ❤️ is there any specific theme the banner should have? 

4 replies
audienta OP October 27th, 2023

@LoveMyMoonflowers

I'm happy to hear that you like the idea! I mean, it's the banner of the trauma support community, so it would be great if it had something to do with the healing journey or something like that. And colour-wise, I've been using violet for the community so if that would fit, that would be amazing. But that's just suggestions, you don't have to do it like that.

alright! 💜

cyanPlatypus6370 October 28th, 2023

@audienta  Did you know?  Purple/violet is the color for Domestic Violence Awareness Month!  (so it has always seemed appropriate for Trauma Support, to me.)  I'm not sure though I'd guess this is a "National Month of" sort of thing.  It has been all throughout October here; highlighted on the local news and some local Domestic Violence Assisting "Businesses"/Non-profit have been interviewed and how we (those who might not be as directly affected by DV in the home) can help or assist or what we can do.  A big part of it too is making all of us aware - hey, DV is an issue, it is an issue in our community :( and here are some places to go to get help or to go to offer your help.

Yes, there's a teal/purple ribbon for trauma.

[a ribbon with a teal side, saying "sexual violence" and a purple side, saying "domestic violence". Source]

I've been using teal/green for everything regarding dissociative disorders and purple/violet for trauma-related topics in general. 💚💜

I agree that awareness is super important as, when you're in the situation, you often don't even realize it and neither do the people that know you.
