Hi bX'ers! I woke up this morning with an idea, and I want to see it happen. Even I get a little bored of the same header on Barista Exchange at times, and I am wanting to change it, along with a little bit if style on the website. Instead of myself doing this on a weekend, I though I would reach out to the bX community and have a header design contest. Anyone who is interested in designing a bX header can email me at baristaexchange@gmail.com and I will send you the bX logo and the fist icon for you to use in the artwork. Here are the rules: • Designs must be submitted by email by September 10th. • You can submit up to 5 different header images. • Header must be 955 pixels wide and 150-200 pixels tall. • Designs must be submitted as .gif or .jpg • Designs must use a variation of the Barista Exchange Logo, and hand holding portafilter. • Additional text is discouraged beyond the logo, but can be submitted. That's about it, and I encourage people to be creative. I will be choosing 1 winner who's header design will go up for at least 1 month on the site, maybe longer. If there are multiple winning designs I will consider rotating to a new design, and this can become a bit more on going. The first winner will receive a Barista Exchange T-Shirt in their size of choice (girls and guys shirts available) as well as a set of Espresso Parts Demitasse. Additional and future designs that are chosen will also receive a bX t-shirt and rotating prizes from bX sponsors. The designers name will also appear in small print on the header image while the header design is up. ( I will add this ) All artwork that is used should be original or used with permission, i.e. photography, etc. Thanks, and I hope this will be a fun project and can showcase some artistic abilities of our bXmembers. Again, email me at baristaexcahnge@gmail.com for more info if you are interested, and I can send the .eps logo to get you started. Thanks, Matt
