Design a banner for our Facebook page (and/or other social media sites) #11BRL-CAD
Status: ClosedTime to complete: 100 hrs Mentors: Isaac Kamga, DishankTags: 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:

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

Here are a few suggestions:


Please see http://brlcad.org/wiki/Logo for a more up-to-date version of our logo.


We prefer US spelling of the word modeling (and all other words).


The fade on the background makes it very difficult to see the text.


It's imbalanced -- there's a lot of empty space on the bottom half of the design.


The dimensions of the image don't seem to match a Facebook banner.


The design is quite simplistic, which isn't necessarily a bad thing but this design doesn't seem to add much in the way of originality.  I suggest looking at some of the completed Facebook design tasks from last year (they were better than most from this year..).
