Announcement: Banner Challenge
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

@audienta
Can you explain what a banner is that you are referring to? sorry, I don't know.
@WorkingitThrough2
Hey! It's the banner as a background for the trauma support community. I've marked in red for your reference. 🙂
@trueconfidant123
Thanks had not known that before😊
@WorkingitThrough2 @audienta
You're welcome!
@audienta
Ouh, this sounds awesome! ❤️ but i’ve got one question ❤️ is there any specific theme the banner should have?
@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.
@audienta
alright! 💜
@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.

@cyanPlatypus6370
Yes, there's a teal/purple ribbon for trauma.

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.
@audienta hi, I would like to ask if we should include the community name or not on the banner
On It 🫡
I couldnt do the imgur thing so enjoy @audienta
@audienta i think i fixed it
@InsightfulPhoenix
hm, I don't think it's 1635*310px yet. It would have to be longer and less high.
@InsightfulPhoenix - It's really heartwarming

@Georginahowe
It's beautiful, however, I'd need to you format it to 1635*310px. Also, there's a typo in "trauma" 💜
@audienta
I tried to re-size wouldn't let me
@Georginahowe @audienta
I hope you don't mind, but I wanted to help so I resized your design to the size needed here:
@wontwakewontsleep
Thanks
@audienta
@chyni
i changed the secondary font to be a bit bolder and increased the size of the primary font 💜 hope you like
@chyni - It's so pretty
@wontwakewontsleep
thank you so much, really appreciate it 🤗
@audienta
question: do you prefer to have the word “trauma support” on the banner or not?
@chyni i think yes, we had a chat about it in dms since i didnt put it on my design and we talked about making one where the community name is included
@sadcat13
alright, thanks much
