Is there any volunteer to create an image with add for
contextgarden.net, 220x250 pixels big?
See
<http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/1184/community-promotion-ads-1h-2011>
for examples.

Grrr, I’d like to smash/downvote/flame that horrible uppercase-gothic CTAN ad, but I don’t have the privileges... Some others are really bad, too. Ok, here are my own designs, you may find them no better. I don’t have upload permissions. The photo of the first one is by Dieter Schütz (pixelio.de), my request for the necessary permissions is still open. Since the pics are some bytes too big, I uploaded them to the garden: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/File:garden1.png http://wiki.contextgarden.net/File:garden2.png Greetlings from Lake Constance!

I think that the advertisement should be of ConTeXt (with link to context garden) rather than of Contextgarden. My vote is for something alone the lines of this year's graphic for the context meeting.

I like the design by Hraban a lot, but the problem is that when a LaTeX user comes to the site and sees an advertisment for a garden, with a photo of garden and CTOETNT title, he has absolutely no idea what the advertisment is about. My first association would be some gardening tools. Even though it is visually nice, I would probably not click on it unless I was interested in flowers. The attachment by Hans is very nice, but doesn't tell anything, while the picture of a castle is really nice and does tell some story even to someone unfamiliar with ConTeXt: MathML, Metapost, XML, Lua, ... The only remaining problem is photoshoping the image to remove 2011 and Belgium if we want to create a generic add.

I thought the advertising would only appear on a TeX related site. Perhaps my use of Zapf Dingbats wasn’t typographical enough. But I don’t insist.

Mojca PS: It is a pitty that Taco didn't send you the original high resolution before you started, but this one is just fine. I have chosen to do exact 0.5x magnification in order to avoid weird artifacts, so one foot is missing now :) Something is missing in the part where 2011 was written, but well ... we will figure something out.

On the other hand, you don't want too large images on a wiki (and there's also the issue of limiting the distribution somewhat in order to prevent misusage).

No, sorry, I cannot draw. BTW: The retouched pic wasn’t meant as ad itself, I wanted only to provide a base for one. I find Bibby’s style a bit too oldfashioned for ConTeXt or LuaTeX, even if it might fit TeX or LaTeX. Greetlings from Lake Constance!
