Design a banner for our Facebook page (and/or other social media sites) #6BRL-CAD
Status: ClosedTime to complete: 100 hrs Mentors: Popescu Andrei, Ch3ckTags: photoshop, concept, design, facebook, artworkBeginner

BRL-CAD has a relatively new logo and the website is undergoing major changes. So this re-branding of BRL-CAD also requires a good, well designed and attractive cover photo for the BRL-CAD's Facebook page and other social media facades. It should feature a good tagline (our official is ""open source solid modeling"") or showcase some killer feature of BRL-CAD, BRL-CAD's new logo and/or some illustration/image regarding the feature highlighted.

It should be consistent with the color scheme of our new website design.  Please avoid a military-centric theme and cheesy bylines (you can use ""Open Source Solid Modeling"" or something else simple).   Make it look impressive, awesome.  Be simple, but be awesome.

New website design:

  • http://cpp-tricks.com/brlcad/

You may also get some inspiration from our recent book creation:

  • http://flossmanuals.net/contributors-guide-to-brl-cad/

Submit one image of the banner image by itself and another example mock-up image showing how it will look on our Facebook page.  Any image format will do just fine.

There are duplicates of this task as we solicit ideas and inspiration. Look at the other completed GCI ""facebook"" tasks and make yours look even better. Do not claim more than one without discussing with us first

Well you can do a lot more tweaks in this design to make it look awesome. Consider the following things to get started


Use logo from http://brlcad.org/wiki/Logo. You can find some pretty good versions of BRL-CAD logo from this page.


The eagle logo is pretty old, so it's not encouraged to use.


Keep in mind that facebook cover photo is of size 851px X 315px


Maintain consistency in your design, like don't use so many colors instead use few colors and make a masterpiece.


Maintain the aspect ratio of images you use, if you need any help regarding how to do this try searching on google or ask here in melange or the irc.


Looking forward to your better improved design.


All the best !

Gauravjeet Singh on December 17 2014 03:56 UTCNice work

Yeah ! that's a nice cover for our page. Just a little suggestion to make it look more awesome. 


The background behind logo looks a bit odd. Try the design without any background behind logo.


Also specify here the fonts you used and the source of background image.
