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:

Personally, I am not a big fan of garden based analogy. 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.

Attached. Maybe I should commission Duane for a couple of small context 
lions so that we have some variation. Or we could build a collection 
(each conference an extra one).

Looking and comparing all the different proposals ...

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.

Mojca asked for a contextgarden ad, not a generic ConTeXt ad.

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. Just delete my files on the garden.

Thank you very much, I added it to SX, feel free to vote:
     <http://meta.tex.stackexchange.com/questions/1184/community-promotion-ads-1h-2011>

I'm missing a clear message to the user, but I'm not sure what that
could be. I only wrote "ConTeXt" for "mouse over". Suggestions for
better text are welcome.

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. I can still edit the post.

The scanning happened here, so I have the several resolution scans on my 
machine. 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).

Can you add "wiki" in the same style as ConTeXt from the space where 
"2011" was removed?

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.
