Design images for social media

Open FelixHenninger opened this issue 6 years ago • 7 comments

@katjaq has asked for a nice illustration of our project for sharing on social media. That's a fantastic idea, but we don't have a go-to-option that represents our project well. Let's make one!

How you can help

  • Any ideas, thoughts and feedback on the material are super-welcome!
  • Please be warmly invited to doodle, draw or design, any contribution is hugely appreciated!

Here's what we have so far:

The project logo alone is nice, but doesn't communicate well what the project is about:

General-purpose logo Logo with context (for a conference)
social_media_logo teap-twitter

I often present screenshots that highlight different parts of the builder interface: labjs-screenshot

It would be cool to show both the interface and the logo, and explain what the project is about -- but I haven't figured out how to do that in a twitter-sized image.

Maybe it would be more useful to show a schematic version in place of the screenshot?

This is right on, and I'd again say to keep the current logo (but in a few different styles and formats!). Another thing I noticed is that the logo isn't prominently on the experiment builder page, might be nice to add it subtly somewhere!

Hej, thanks! I'm aching for a few free days to make some more fancy graphics -- did you have any specific styles in mind? I also like the logo, but I'm a bit out of ideas as to what to do with it, and the yellow is getting a bit old.

Oh, and regarding the experiment builder, did you have the graphic above in mind, or the actual interface? It's there in the bottom left corner, very well hidden clearly 😉.

ah yes you are right! Maybe it's ok then :) I just never remember seeing it (and in fact I didn't, heh).

I had the opposite take-away, that it should be given more space :). I'll keep that at the back of my mind -- it used to be huge and get in the way, and we might have over-corrected.
