Dee (austhokie) | 7316 comments First of all, thanks to Christine who provided the image for the current masthead

Yz, Jane, Fran and I were all chatting away with our mod hats on (sorry, you guys will have to imagine the visual, but it was highly entertaining, at least to me) and we thought that we would open up the design to interested members and change it out on a rotating basis.

The masthead should reflect several elements within the romance genre (PNR, contemporary, historical, fantasy etc) - since we are equal opportunity romance lovers. Other than that, let your creative juices fly!

If you post the picture to photobucket and then link it in this thread, I or one of the other mods can easily access it. Or if you want to email it, send me a PM and I'll pass you my email.

Have fun!!

Ty  | 1943 comments Can you give the allowable dimensions of the banner area? in pixels and inches? Thanks!

I think the current banner is gorgeous! Kudos to Christine! Which book is the historical couple from??


Christine (Cagnes) (cagnes) | 118 comments Thanks Ty! The dimensions are 970 x 245 pixels.

The historical couple isn't from a cover, it's Sleeping beauty pose with Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens.

Ooooh.... I like that one, too.

You are so creative, Christine.

Dee (austhokie) | 7316 comments pity we can't give Christine an honorary title...masthead-ress extraordinaire!!

Thanks, Christine!

MountainKat | 31601 comments I love the masthead, but am by no means creative enough to create anything like that! I am just going to sit back and enjoy the wonderful pictures the others make! =)

Scorching! Love that one as well :)


Christine (Cagnes) (cagnes) | 118 comments Thanks ladies!

Here's another one I was working on, with 2 slightly different versions.

MountainKat | 31601 comments Those are awesome! But I think I like the first just the teeniest bit more than the second.


message 14: by Jane (PS), Moderator (new)

Jane (PS) | 24334 comments Wow they are both great Christine!

I think Dee could just shake them all up like a raffle and post a newby each month - maybe with some space between the more similar ones :) I love them all!

And include any other submissions in the mix :)


Christine (Cagnes) (cagnes) | 118 comments Thanks! I did 2 versions a holiday masthead.. one for the naughty girls & one for the nice girls. ;)

Jane (PS) | 24334 comments I like the naughty one ...of course! ;)


message 17: by MountainKat, Moderator (new)

MountainKat | 31601 comments I wouldn't mind seeing the naughty one over and over and over again!

Ty  | 1943 comments I have never been as jealous of a candy cane ever in my lifetime.


message 19: by ~KarenH~, Moderator (new)

~KarenH~ | 11348 comments I think they're all gorgeous! I will admit that the naughty one is my favorite, though! :D


message 20: by Fran, Moderator (new)

Fran | 12278 comments They are all beautiful Christine!

The naughty one is my favorite ;)


message 21: by Dee (new)

Dee (austhokie) | 7316 comments hey everyone!
it has been about 6 months since we posted the banner for the group and its time to mix it up a bit..there are several links posted above that we are looking at, but if you have any ideas/designs feel free to link them here!


message 22: by Lawrence (new)

Lawrence Grodecki (lawrencegrodecki) they're all nice in their own way...why not just rotate them?


message 23: by Dee (new)

Dee (austhokie) | 7316 comments because we want to give others an option - make sure any newbies out there that might not have seen this thread have a chance


ilovebakedgoods (Teresa) (ilovebakedgoods) | 86 comments Yeah, I like the rotating idea. Of course, new ones are nice to look at, too, for more options, but I have nothing to submit. I am not good at making those!


message 25: by Lawrence (new)

Lawrence Grodecki (lawrencegrodecki) Sorry Dee, I thought the ones posted above were new submissions. I'd love to take a crack at it, but my art style is abstract, so I don't see it fitting in well here...plus it takes a ton of time, which I really can't spare right now.

Whatever you get for submissions, it would be nice to have some kind of rotation - especially for those who submit.
