[CREATE] Artists needed: ad designs for LGM pledgie fundraiser

[Nathan Willis]

Hi all.  We're in need of some artwork to run pointing folks towards the
LGM Pledgie campaign site.  We have media sponsors lined up that will
give us free impressions, we just need "the creative."

The specs so far include:

LinuxPro: Banner 468 x 60
LinuxPro: Skyscraper 160 x 600
--
LinuxJournal: Banner 728x90
--
Text ads for LWN:
Title field: 48 characters
Body field: 120 characters

In all three, we can link to an URL (which in the text ad does not count
against our character limit); we'll use the Pledgie URL.

There are more to come, but we need something for these ASAP.  Best idea
is to coordinate, so that we use the same design motifs for all three --
makes for a more unified campaign blitz and makes it easier to adapt the
artwork to varying sizes rather than start from scratch.  Obviously on
the text ad, we'd want to use the same message.

Please submit a design (or three!) to the issue tracker at
https://bugs.launchpad.net/create-project/+bug/744413

Comment #5 (
https://bugs.launchpad.net/create-project/+bug/744413/comments/5 ) lists
the specs again for reference.

Things to keep in mind: these media sponsors are (so far) all Linux /
FLOSS sites; the know the projects and so do the readers.  They may,
however, be more receptive to the campaign if we focus on the fact that
all funds go towards developer travel, and that the event is a
collaborative effort.  But don't camp out on that; any and all ideas are
welcome.

We'd like to launch the campaigns by Friday, so please submit art work
between now and Thursday.

Thanks!
Nate
