For Fannibal Fest Toronto, I printed a small number of plastic cards with preferred names, twitter/tumblr, and preferred pronouns, for friends to hang on their lanyards. They were just a few extra cards that I had so it was only a few but they were a big hit! So...for RDC5, I will be offering to print more. I will print up to 200 cards on a first come, first served basis. Here is what you need to do:
1) Create your image!
Create an image of dimensions 3.375 x 2.125 inches with a dpi of at least 150 (this includes some bleed, so assume some will be lost around the edges!). This is 506 x 319 pixels. The image can be laid out vertical (hanging from the short edge) or horizontal (hanging from the long edge). I won’t be punching them but will be bringing a slot punch for people to use when they pick them up.
Make sure your image is laid out in such a way that you can punch a slot in it without losing anything important!
You could include things like the name you’d like people to call you, the user name(s) people may know you by, your preferred pronouns, or even your icon if it’s specific and people might recognise it!
Save your image in a common format (eg jpg, png)
2) Email your image to [email protected]
3) Find me at RDC5 and I will give it to you!
Please ONLY SEND ME AN IMAGE IF:
1) You are going to be at RDC5 in February
2) You will pick it up!
3) You’re actually including info in the image (I won’t print just photos/images with no text)
4) You have the permission from the artist in the case of fanart
Edit to add:
I do not have the capacity to do image editing for people, not with 200 to print (that’s a lot of labour as is!). If you send me just an image with nothing on it/or not the right dimensions, it will not be printed. If you need help, please ask someone in the fandom. There are many people with basic PhotoShop or gimp skills! I will put together a step by step Gimp tutorial for setting an image to the right size and adding text. I will email anyone back whose image is unusable to give the a chance to fix it prior to January!
There’s a new detailed post HERE with step by step guide, links to assets, and ways to get help with editing!
