A downloadable poster for the forum ?

[beckyboo]

This may have been suggested before and apologises if it has but during a drive to Peterborough Autumn show today I was pondering if anybody from this forum would be there in the Craft section...
Then I had one of my little brainwaves..

how about a small poster format we could download and print out to show we are proud members of this forum,there are so many of us here and it we all love to attend craft fairs either as sellers,buyers or just browers.

The poster doesn't have to have your forum name on just a nice few lines saying somthing like

"Proud member of the UK's biggest and friendliest craft forum

WWW.Craftsforum.co.uk"


A nice way to indentify one of our ranks don't you think ??

[Peter]

I, personally, think that's a great idea! :D

[Pagan]

sounds good to me - I'd display one :D

[Caroleecrafts]

Good idea, now we need a mod to design one, Peter?

My Art consisted of throwing a lot of paint at big canvasses, now if you want a poster that looks like last night's pizza I'm your man, otherwise I'll leave it to someone with talent!

I'm spreading this spider around the forum! :D

[beckyboo]

phew ,glad you liked the idea it was one of my saner ones. I know I'd proudly display mine...I'm always recommending this site to crafty people at fairs.

[nattynetty]

I think it's a fab idea, I'd happily display it in my shop :)

[saraeden]

What a great idea , i would display one on my table :mf:

[justoneoff]

What a great idea!

I will get my OH to do one! When its done, where do I post it so you can have a look at it and give any comments/amendments etc?

Then when its got 100% approval, will put it up for anyone who wants it!

We'd obviously need the nod from the admin but I don't see why people can't design one and stick them on this thread for everyone to see ( sorry I can't design one,lol, I have no computer savy )

The poster wouldn't be like the SRAJD which is a recognition thing for your work , more a "hello here I am " kinda thing

[Recycled Bag Lady]

What a good idea! I find myself checking out stall holders to see if I can recognise anyone from here! I'd certainly display one :)

[Critchley]

Well done.

I I find myself in crafty circles I will always ask if anyone is a member here. Not had any luck so far though.

[auntynet]

Great idea Becky. I'd definitely put one up on the stall and I'm pretty sure OH wouldn't object. . . . he kinda likes it around here too. :D

lol, whats not to like about us, we are all wonderful...and if he does object remind him of all of us stunningly beautiful ladies ( and yes you gents arn't too bad either !) flocking round your stall ;)

Oh I wish....

[beckyboo]

As Mr Gok Wan says .....all women are beautiful, I just hide my beauty really really well,lol

[0103media]

Its a great idea...

People are most welcome to make some designs and submit them to this thread...

The more people who know about the forum the better as more help, answer and interesting stuff will be posted :D

[Ifor-Jones]

Well done Becky - a great idea. I look forward to seeing the designs!!

[justoneoff]

Well here it is, what do you all think? You can be as brutal as you like as OH doesn't know my passwords!!

Well that was a great start! apparently my jpeg is toooo big! its only 171kb, will try & get OH to squash it a bit, I havn't a clue how to do that, at this rate he will be totally bored and you will never see it!!

[Peter]

Go to http://www.resize2mail.com/index.php you should work it out! :)

[justoneoff]

will go and have a look.........don't hold your breath! If its not appeared in 10 minutes......................................i will have let you down........

[Pauline@weddingtreasures]

Thats a great idea!!

I am doing a couple of craft fairs myself later in the year (was not going to but have changed my mind) and my friend is doing one at different times to me so I could give it to her on those days!!

wooo hooo so how do we 'sigh' up for our names to go on it?

Pauline :)

[beckyboo]

We need a few arty people to design one so we can pick the one we like the most, then I'm going to see if we can put it on here as a PDF ( i think its called a PDF , sorry i'm not very pc literate )

[justoneoff]

Peter,

An update for you!

I went onto the link and the smallist file they could do is 360 x 480 and it still says I am over my quota?

What do you suggest?

Debbie
justoneoff:confused:

[Peter]

Go on the bit where it reduces by percentage - just work out how much smaller you want it in Kb rather than pixels, or click the top bit that says 'on your own'................you can enter your width/height in there. :)

[justoneoff]

Peter

I have done it!....at last !!

[beckyboo]

Yayyyy a huge big sparkly nova star.

I love it.

( still trying to get my oh so motivated eldest son to do one for me)

[pepsi]

:jump::jump:Oh yes you are a star darl, I think its brilliant. well done you. xxx ;)

[lucyjaneward@hotmail.co.u]

Please count me in, I would love to display it, what about using it as a thread on our own websites?

[Ifor-Jones]

Debbie (or your OH) that is great - I love it. Would be very happy to display that.

[Flutterbyboo]

It looks great- id display it too!

[justoneoff]

I am glad you like it.....still waiting for Peters views!.............

If anyone wants a higher resolution for print, please email me and I can send you one.

Unless there is another way of putting it on the forum for anyone??

[Peter]

I am sorry, I missed this! :o Yep...............works for me - it's excellent! :D

[justoneoff]

Thank you Peter.....your comments mean so much!!:mf:

Would it be possible to put the poster in a PDF format as a sticky on one of the topic threads so everybody can download it and print it out....... like craft fair forms we get in emails.

Eeeeerrrrrrrr......................you obviously haven't heard of my amazing computer talents have you? :cool: I think we'll wait until somebody clever comes along for this one.......................like Lisa, or Swirly, or Nattie Nettie, or Mr Media, or............anyone but me! :D

lol bout as good as mine then yea?...I blame my age and the fact I'm a bubblehead

[Critchley]

Nice poster - can we have a reduced copy as well - like 4" x 4" for the car window. I don't sell at craft fairs so could not use it that way.

[Fluffy Squirrel]

If this goes ahead then let me know - I'll gladly print it off and display it at all events :D

[BeadsbyLili]

Great design !! I'm up for displaying it as a poster and on my website if the formats are made available.

I think that looks ok? Whats the verdict ...?

[Smoffi]

Hi,

I'm a newbie here, and this is the first thread i stumbled upon.. you can put quite large size images at imageshack.us then you can post the link here. (you'll need www before that, but it wouldnt let me post the web address in full as i've not had enough posts.)

hope that helps

*hugs*

[Caroleecrafts]

Have I missed the progress on this folks as I would like to display on my blog and at Craft Fairs. I am elderly so may have missed the post.

[woodtattoos]

I think it's a great design, which I will look to add to my website soon.

At the moment, I'm torn between printing/laminating a colour version for craft fairs or burning the design onto a large piece of pine I've kept for an advertising board...

Decisions, decisions.

Si.

[Louise88]

I think the design is fab! :D

[Ifor-Jones]

I haven't been able to download it - is that 'cos I don't know what I am doing. I tried originally when it was posted - when Peter added it to his signature - but no success. Mind you I was in the middle of the Med at the time on a ship!! Perhaps I better try again now I am on dry land.

[beckyboo]

could we pretty please have the design as a sticky or tacked to one of the popular sections so that people can download it
It might get forgotten and that's a shame when people seemed to be so positive about it

plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I totally agree. Needs to be there as a reminder so new people know about it too - and I need to be able to download it.

[0103media]

Stucked...

[auntynet]

Does anyone on the forum make badges/lapel pins? Maybe you could make one with the CF logo on.

I'd definitly buy one from you and if we all got them we could all wear them when we go to craft fairs either as customers or sellers and then you'd know that you could approach someone and they wouldn't think "my god . . . . who is that nerd!"

[justoneoff]

Hi everyone,

It was my OH who was talked into doing this! If you tell me how/where is best to 'put' it so it's easily available to all who want it, then can 'someone' send me this info! :)

[BeadsbyLili]

I've added it to my website now ! Hope loads more people do too.

All together now: Yayyyy for the crafts forum :mf:

[Dizzydiza]

Er, how about both?

[GonetoEarth]

The poster is a great idea. Any chance of something that we could add to our blogs or shops? Gets the name out there - spreads the word.

Can't think or any issues - are there any apart from someone has to write/design it?

[Cazpanda]

How are some of you adding it to your blogs & websites? I'm not computer literate at all & have tried copying & pasting but that didnt work. Is there an HTML code? Sorry if I appear dim but I am!

[LvUEudora]

great idea,enviable. but it's useless to me as i am so far away from there.

[just sally]

sally

[Cazpanda]

Yes thanks, I was still wondering how to do it!!

[auntynet]

I mentioned this before but no-one picked up on it so I'll be blunt this time ;) . . . .

Does anyone want to make me a badge with a CF logo on - I'm happy to pay you?

[goldy1]

I've got the badges but no printer.

[auntynet]

I've got the badges but no printer.

I got a printer but no badges. :mf: I have no idea how to go about designing one so if you can do it, I'll print it out and bring it with me on Friday when I come to yours.

[goldy1]

If my nose stops running tomorrow I will sort it out.

[goldy1]

I've been messing with a badge I dea.
