“Hereville” Comic Book Convention Banner

On April 8, 2008 · 6 Comments

This is a design for the banner that I’ll be hanging behind my table at Stumptown, where I’ll be premiering the dead-tree edition of Hereville. The banner is planned to be eight feet wide by three feet high (gulp). I’ll be hanging it from a mounting device I’m building myself out of PVC pipe. It feels more than a little embarrassing — there’s nothing in the world I hate more than selling myself — but I’ve decided I really want to go all-out on this.

So the first question is, what do folks think of the design? It’s really just a variation of the webpage header.

And my second question is, how high off the ground should I get this? The plan I downloaded is for an eight foot high display, so the banner would start at five feet off the ground and end eight feet off the ground. Is that high enough, or should be using a nine foot or ten foot plan instead?

Any advice would be appreciated.

UPDATE: Here’s version two:

    The design looks great to me. I’d put the Hereville URL somewhere in there too, maybe at the bottom left.

    I like it, although I don’t know that I would capitalize all the words in the sentence on the top. And I agree with Tim that you should put your website (www. hereville.com) at the bottom.

    Thanks, Tim and Tara! (Check out Tara’s comic if you haven’t already.) This is exactly the kind of feedback I was hoping for. I’ll both change the capitalization and add the web URL.
