I'm tempted to just make a few random things for the artwork here, use some quotes from the topic that is here and stuff. I've given up on recreating what I had done before, at least for now, but I could probably make some semi-decent edits of other things?
I just uploaded the 2 new pieces /illustrations mor the merrier right ;) links to the photo section here >>

Added a few more photos on Good Reads (Page 4) and on twitter! Logo to go with the masthead I posted last week:

And a second (colored) version of Emma as Rosie the Riveter:

(For those who don't know Rosie the Riveter was one of the first major "feminist" events during WWII in the US when most of the men were at war and needed women to step up in "unconventional" "male" roles)

That sounds like a great idea! I myself am an artist and I would love to do an art piece for this!
We're looking for someone to design a stencil to download that says Whistle if Y R A Feminist
over an equal sign =
The idea is for anyone to be able to download it and paint on a T-shirt or backpack or bleach on a black shirt, to oppose street harassment. This emerged from the 100,000 letters line. thanks!
Is there any deadline to send the images? I've just noticed this post, and I would love to participate!
And is Emma (together with you) going to select te logo herself or with a poll like thing?
Hi guys,Saw Emma's post about banner artwork, logos etc. on Facebook a while back and wanted I'd submit something in my style.
Used or not - its been cool to draw something for it.
I basically thought about illustrating a 'shelf' that if the group ever developed into its own website for example, you could all have a personalised shelf and what you put on it could be customised to you, such as the books you're reading etc. That was kind of the idea behind what I did.
So for the banner I drew a range of objects linked to what the group was about and visual little links to Emma, so the HeForShe logo on the stationary, the first 2 books that have been listed to read, and I also checked out some of the Instagram photos of people posting images with the books next to flowers, cups of tea - that sort of thing.
This is the full illustration ...

Then I cropped it into two designs to fit the size requirements...
No. 1 ... https://www.goodreads.com/photo/group...
No. 2 ... https://www.goodreads.com/photo/group...
And then I had a little go a the logo. Font isn't done yet, but liked the symbol of the books forming a heart shape ...

I'll be uploading the artwork to my website now, and if you want to see it a little closer up visit www.matroff.co.uk
Just come back in an hour or so.

Thanks Jo! Any feedback is good and if anything needs to be moved around or expanded then that's fine because all the items are separate layers.

The full one was the original drawing - I expanded it in my sketchbook because the banner measurements are a little restricting, so I thought it was better to make it a little bit bigger to play around with it. I can always expand it a little more - that's the beauty of illustrating on Photoshop :)
I did have an idea to draw each book that's selected. Then you can have that with something to do with the story... But again that's just an idea.
And with the font - can you see the gap between the glasses and the flowers - it will go there once I've drawn it up :)
