If you make a request, please provide the following information: Basically what I need is some basic premise to work with, like a summary, character list, genre, aesthetic, etc and anything you'd really like to see.
I will then do some mock ups of different looks and compositions (usually like, 3) and you tell me which you like the best and we refine from there.
More detailed info if it turns out I need it lol
Fair warning I am notoriously hard to get consistent hold of/tend to not log into sites like this very often so if I don't reply to your request on here promptly then I'd suggest hitting me up via my tumblr (same username) or the SAD discord (I'm Train and I've never said a word in there but!!! I'm on the members list!!!! So I am findable!!!)

If you make a request, please provide the following information: Hi there!   

If you're interested in working together on a banner, please send along the relevant details from the story you're writing (title, major plot points, characters, locations, elements), whether it's part of an event, the byline/author name as you’d like it to appear, as well as your timeline for when you'll want the banner. If you have specific colors, fonts or font styles, or images in mind, please send them along or let me know what you're looking for. I'll accommodate as best as I can. 
   
Typically making a banner takes me a couple of days. I will probably follow up the original request with a few questions to nail down exactly what you're hoping for. After that I'll design some proofs and send those over for you to review. If one of them nails it, cool, you can just use the link I send over. But if you want to see some elements from a few proofs adjusted/combined/moved around, just let me know. 
   
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to reach out. I take requests via Discord, email or the site chat. Sending proofs is easiest via Discord, but if you'd prefer a different way, just let me know. 
   
        

     

     

   

     

   

If you make a request, please provide the following information: I can't write to save my life, but I do know my way around photoshop and would love to help any of the wonderful authors here create a banner worthy of their story!

If you make a request, please provide the following information: Do you want a banner? Are you looking for something artsy and quirky? Well do I have you covered! Hi, I'm Liv, I'm a young artist looking to make some banners for the community. If you want a banner, I'll need:

• Title and Penname
• Whether or not it's for an event
• What preferences and ideas you have for the banner
• Color scheme
• And when you need it by (please give me at least a few days in advance, I can knock something out quick but I don't want to be rushing for a last minute thing)

Please keep in mind not every banner artist is meant for every project. If we end up working together and it doesn't work out, that's okay. If I'm not able to come up with something, I'm not going to push it and I will let you know as soon as possible whether or not I'll need to back out. With that being said, hope you enjoy the examples I've listed!

If you make a request, please provide the following information: banner size, story title & author information, what you want to see on the banner, genre/general mood of the story. Oh and the DEADLINE. I *need* a deadline to get things done (otherwise work and other deadlines will get priority). Warning: I don't have a lot of time I can dedicate to banner making, so if you need one at short notice, there's a chance I won't be abe to comply with your request. But always feel free to ask!

If you make a request, please provide the following information: Title, pen name, tone/genre/FEEL of the story and any particular characters or imagery you'd like in the banner. 

If you make a request, please provide the following information: I don't manip (And trust me, you don't want me to). I like to use real photography. Send me story idea, color, name, and any ideas 
Examples of my work:

If you make a request, please provide the following information: -Title of the story
-characters you'd like to include in the banner
-the overall feel of the story
-favorite colors
-any "must haves" and "must not haves"

If you make a request, please provide the following information: Send me as little or as much information as you want. More is better, bare minimum is title and author. 
Other things you could tell me:

• If it's for an event
• If it's a SAD exclusive
• What characters you want on it
• Tone/genre/vibe
• Color scheme
• Font styles

Things to keep in mind:

• Most of my work is pretty simple, I can only do very basic manips and I usually keep things pretty simple, as I'm still learning
• I love rich colors and nature imagery. 

If you make a request, please provide the following information: More banner examples here and here. Any information that can inspire me and create something to honor your work is helpful.

• Are there any specific images/characters you'd like to include (name season/episode)?
• Characters' moods or expressions?
• Overall banner mood or emotional tone?
• Any particular colors for text or a particular overall tint?
• Preferred font/font style for story title/author's name?
• Is this for a challenge, an event, or a SAD exclusive story?
• Any other thoughts or ideas?

I typically make variations for every banner I make so that the author gets some choices for different looks. Some variations are subtle, other variations are different image choices for a character. My biggest cheerleader, Chelle, encouraged me to also link my album of banner variations for her story, The Hunger. These are of the subtle variety and are based on the layer blend mode I chose for each one, so if that is your thing, check them out here.
