	One of the ideas that came out of the September meeting was to design a booth that could be used at different cons to introduce the Houston based Star Wars Fan Force. This thread is just for that. If you have an idea, post it. If you see something at a fair, craft sale, con, and think it is cool. Shoot a picture and post it here. Want to help, volunteer here. There will be some construction meetings after we lay out the design of our booth on paper. -----signature----- . . . - - - . . .

	OK, I was very bored at work today. This is just one of many ideas running through my head. Copy and paste or type this string in to your web browser. www.ddabc.org/ConBooth001.doc It has a lot of pictures so give it time to open. Hopefully it will give you a starting point to get your creative thinking in motion. Email me your ideas at wethedennings@hotmail.com Or PM me, or post ideas here. Thanks. -----signature----- . . . - - - . . . John Making final mods: X-Wing Pilot Approved: Jedi Approved: Imperial Officer, Stormtrooper

	(Sorry for not responding sooner. Took me a while to digest all that info) These are some great ideas. For Phase I, it seems we have everything we need to move ahead, with the exception of a 4 x 2 banner. Anybody know how much that would cost? I think Phase I is a good start for us. We should try to use it at the next con we want to have a presence at. At the least, we should use this for ApolloCon next year. John, I like the wording on your banner mockup, but I recommend different colors. Your mockup is a little low on contrast and might be hard to read a distance.

	OK, here is a few color ideas. If you want to see a different color combination, please tell me what colors. www.ddabc.org/FFBanner.doc Thank you. -----signature----- . . . - - - . . . John Making final mods: X-Wing Pilot Approved: Jedi Approved: Imperial Officer, Stormtrooper

	I went to talk with my banner dude and he giggled at my little banner. He said, "You need bigger and badder. Throw in a star wars scene in the background. Add a princess leia and an r2d2. Get some excellent star wars fonts and make a banner. And for the size at a minimum of 3 x 5 but go as large as you can to be seen at cons." But he did offer me what I belive to be a really good deal on an all digitial banner. $7 per square foot. OK you artist, time to see your skills. -----signature----- . . . - - - . . .

	OMG - that is total awesome. Lets see some more of your ideas. And anybody else that has an idea. If you have the idea but not the toys to draw up the banner electronically, draw it up on a piece of paper and fax it to me. Thanks. -----signature----- . . . - - - . . .

	DaSnarf, very cool! Where's all the prequel stuff? (just kidding) Two suggestions: there is some watermark text in front of the stormtroopers. Can you smudge that out? If not, I probably can. Also, I would suggest a different font for the text at the bottom. A Sans-serif font (such as Arial Bold, Helvetica, etc) would be a little better.

	Thanks guys. I didn't really run up any other ideas...this was just kinda thrown together while sitting on the couch watching TV =) Erik, good eye on the watermarked text. I didn't really zoom in that close or view full screen, but after you mentioned it I saw it right away. I could play around with the typeface for the tag line, but with the Club Name being in (more or less) a San Serif font already, I figured on going with a serif font to add a bit of contrast. I can play around with it when I get some time and post the changes. Dan

	Banner size. Danny was given a 6'x2' banner for the Rebel Legion this last weekend. It is a good size and I recommend that be the size we consider. He was able to hang it on the front of his table but it also could be hung on stands. Just a suggestion. OK, has either of you made the changes that were suggested? Watermark and the typeface for the tag line. The banner guy said he wants the file to be in EPS format. No clue what that means but I am sure you guys do. Thanks. -----signature----- . . . - - - . . . John Making final mods: X-Wing Pilot Approved: Jedi Approved: Imperial Officer, Stormtrooper

	I don't have daSnarf's source file, so I can't make the changes. I think he was going to work on them. EPS is a file format, similar to JPG or BMP. Assuming daSnarf is using Photoshop, he should be able to save it as an EPS. A 6x2 banner is long and skinny, which is different from what daSnarf has done. It will need to be modified. Maybe we should consider a 4x2 banner. John, do you think that would work? John, can you ask the banner guy what resolutions would be optimal for both a 6x2 banner and a 4x2 banner?

	I havent had a chance to make any of the changes...life has had me busy I'll see what I can whip up. Were you needing this by a specific date? For an event?

	No specific date/event but we are very busy right now in both the 501st and Rebel Legions. At events that will allow it, I will hang it up. Eric: What ever came of our website that you were researching? Should this be put on the banner? Just a thought. I will check with the banner company about the resolutions. I will add a picture of the 6 x 2 banner for reference purposes only. Ok, on my website. Don't know how to on here. lol -----signature----- . . . - - - . . .

	I have purchased the domain, and it will hopefully work within a day: www.houstonfanforce.com. Once we confirm I've got it set up right, we should put it on the banner.
