Our Shared Shelf Artwork
Well if I remember correctly Emma ask for artist who want help with the logo. If some people don't want to do this you simply, don't. But the group is our group yes Emma is a lead moderate but still is our group.
Emma, but where we can send our creative, that you will see? There we can't send. In Twitter - you will not see. What we must to do???

Hi, Maria! You mean you uploaded it to Twitter? Can you post the link so that we can check everything is alright?
However, since you are here already, I would suggest uploading your proposal here as well. It's easy peasy, just follow Emma's instructions at the beginning of the page. :)
just a question , it has to be a computer made doodle or it can be a drawing ?
hey so it's a girl holding a pile of books
as you can see on every book is written feminism in different languages ( russian , chinese , english , arabic .. ) i didn't colour the girls skin because every girl has the right to get an education
I'm enjoying this, everyone here is soooo talented! I do agree with Kodak and Ash, this group feels like family (a huuuuge one xD) and the design/artwork we made for it is our contribution to this amazing cause. It is our way to say 'thank you' to Emma for getting us together, and our way to make people notice feminism ROCKS! ;)Ps: Thanks for taking the negativity down!

Well done, its very good. A clever idea to have the word "feminism" written on each book in a different language.
I put mine up in photos and on Twitter. Here is the link :) This one is for the masthead:

*throws computer across room* It's always nice when a computer glitches out on you halfway through making artwork and deciding not to save anything you were working on -.- yay for having to start over from scratch and meticulously try to recreate what you just did...
Sh!t, I'm sorry for language xD, I forgot about this... How could I? If I find the time this week, I'll better get on it - Although its hard to compete with all these talented artists --Simon <3
Mod
These star wars references :) Love them hahahah!

Mod
aaaww I feel for you :-(
Especially if your lost artwork was as creative as your username!
Epic.
Its a really old computer, like 2011 old and just stroked out and froze up and deleted EVERYTHING, including all the pictures I'd saved and all the books I was writing (thank goodness my friend encouraged me to post them on Goodreads or I'd be more devastated) everything but the bare minimum of what normally is on a computer. Its like for some reason it froze and then wiped itself for no reason :/
Mod
I'm just glad I uploaded what I have for my novels onto Goodreads, at least they're safe. I'll be putting them on Google Drive soon to ensure I always have access and won't risk losing them again :/ I'll probably try and make something again but I doubt it'll be as good :/
Awesome how talented all you guys are. So many good pieces of art I really am impressed.For Kikki
Kikki. If you can't handle me at my Strider, then you sure as Helms Deep don't deserve my Aragorn wrote: "Its a really old computer, like 2011 old and just stroked out and froze up and deleted EVERYTHING, "
Can you tell us what exact programm you are using because sometimes you find files of your saved work in the installation folder and from their you are able to repair or "re-create" your files to get it to run again even though they are damaged, if you haven´t try that already!
Greets X
Well I had saved it to paintbrush after using an online image editing website to change coloration of something I was using, but like I said it completely wiped everything on my hard drive :/ I tried to salvage them but its all gone :/
Kikki time to buy me computer or restore new system .
I've been wanting to get a new computer for a long time but they're just too expensive :/
What computer you got kikki?
Its an old hand me down 2011 Acer that I got from a friend who got it from their parents so its been very heavily used. I did what I could to try and get the old files back, including googling how to restore it but nothing's worked :/
A that explain everything. You have lots of shit files on your hard drive. You must restore your whole system and then he will be working fine. Plus installed some antivirus program.
I probably do have a lot of bum files on it, in all honesty I just need a new computer in general but I can't afford it, they're just too expensive :/

I mean it's too much of it. My first impression was the fact that I couldn't even read the words in bubble, it looks kind of aggressive. It doesn't connect with the theme or tone of this bookclub.
This is my opinion and if you would like to do this kind of style, try to simplify things. Hope this helps, nothing against you :)

It's just something to look for if you eligible. I remember when I first downloaded Photoshop I found that finding the student option was a little convoluted.
So I worked on the logo and it is starting to look very nice! I will upload it tomorrow when its finished so you can all give your feedback so I can further improve it :)Does anyone actually knows if there is a deadline?

Mod
Oh you little tease :P

No deadline was set, but be on your toes incase it is announced sooner rather than later :)
I'm decent at handlettering so if anyone wants to send some quotes my way, for either MLOTR or The Color Purple, hit me up and I'll do my best to make them! Feel free to shoot me a message / friend me :)

Of course you can, https://www.goodreads.com/photo/group...
It's 30% finished atm, so don't expect too much from it :p i have the idea and I'm trying to work it out as best as possible!

I bloody love it Simon, Bravo!
I can see why its taking you so long, such small detailing. I applaud thee.
Thanks Jo!! If you love it by now, you'll adore the final result hahahaha :) thanks for your awesome feedback <3
@Kodak, of course! Cant forget to include you haaha :) you like it?
Hmm. I'm not saying this for all mods and especially for Emma, and they can correct me if I'm wrong here, but the point is: this community is non-profitable, and we are all volunteers. We're offering our help by ourselves and doing everything for free, and we need to keep it like this. For anything beyond this GR group it would be okay and even necessarily, but not here.
At the same time I totally understand your point - work should be paid for.
