Dear OSS,

There were so many profile pictures and masthead designs I liked for the group! Thank you! I’ve chosen to use a different piece of art for both for each month. The only problem I am having is sometimes when I try and upload your masthead pieces I get this very annoying message: “Masthead photo is invalid. Photos must be between 1KB and 6MB and of type (jpg/jpeg/gif/png/tiff/tif) and at least 970px wide by 245px high”.

So if you don’t see yours up there it’s for this reason and NOT because I don’t like it. If any of you can reformat that would be amazing. Thank you to everyone for submitting (and hopefully for continuing to submit!) They are all beautiful. It makes me happy.

Love,
Emma x

Even I want to help anyone for resizing graphics! My photoshop is ready for anyone, I can lend a helping hand!

Simon Kuhn | 223 comments Super! Now every artist around here has a chance to show his/her skills to all our users! - Like Helen and Kodak, I'm also always available if you want me to resize or compress your pictures!
Also to everyone who hasn't sent their logo yet, have fun creating it, let your fantasy go :)

Hi Ahmed, I'm not Kodak but I want to help and answer to you: your artwork is not a graphic designed for the group(a banner with the text ''Our Shared Shelf'' and containing a drawing of a book or your vision of this group and what it means to you). If you wish to upload it, go to Photos, from the group's homepage and there will be an add more photos which will take you to the upload page!

Agnes Szalkowska | 385 comments I must check my artwork ;) I don't remember which size they are .


message 14: by Alexis (new)

Alexis Marie | 200 comments Emma, my uncle is a professional artist. Would I be able to submit his work for him if I cite him as the artist?


message 15: by [deleted user] (new)

Emma and/or OSS mods, could you put the artist's name/website as the caption or in the comments under each month's art pick? Artists are putting a lot of time and care into making images for this bookclub, knowing not to expect compensation of any kind, but rightfully expecting simple recognition and credit where it's due.

Seeing my logo submission as the profile picture is wonderful, but seeing no credit given is a bit of a dagger, especially since this is how I make a living.

Please include the credit:

Thank you!

I am not an artist, but I definitely agree.

Yes, I definitely agree with you!

One more thing. Where do they put the masthead? Is there any other site than this one where they place it?

Thank you :)

Hiya, Emma! Hmmm, IIRC, yes, that's basically it. :) We were unable to decide on a single proposal, what with so many awesome ones, and so Emma eventually came up with this. So...try your hand at it, share with us, and hopefully it'll be featured sooner or later. :)

Agnes Szalkowska | 385 comments ok My Masthead photos are in normal size now.

May I use the monthly masthead as an image for that ..."


I own the copyright to the image since OSS did not commission me for it, so yes that OK by me, thanks for asking Sophie! : )


message 23: by Simon (new)

Simon Kuhn | 223 comments @Sophie, are you really creating a website for the meetup in your region? How awesome is that?! Would love to see the final result! (I'm a webdesigner myself)

Good luck and again, keep up the awesome ideas!
-Simon <3


message 24: by [deleted user] (new)

Wouldn't know how to resize it. Infact i'm suprised i managed to get it on here.


message 25: by Simon (new)

Simon Kuhn | 223 comments @Sophie Oh, my bad, didn't read the previous comments (if you said it back there). I live in Belgium so making it to the Netherlands when its school is going to be hard, but I can keep some Dutch friends of mine up to date so maybe they'll come. Still a great idea to put all the information on their website :)

message 28: by Simon (new)

Simon Kuhn | 223 comments Same here :D


message 29: by [deleted user] (new)

Now you have lost me. I just went to the photo part of my comp and drew it.


message 30: by Mat (new)

Mat Roff | 1 comments Thats a nice idea. Gives everyone a chance to have their artwork up.

I uploaded all the banners and logos to my website. They should all be the correct size. The banners are because I didnt edit them. However if the error does appear if you decide to use mine, just let me know.
