[OFF] Animated Banner Text

[trstmn]

I can make animated banner text for your x10Hosting website, from any words that you want, and in a variety of styles. These artworks are guaranteed original. I use Adobe Fireworks to create these artworks.

Commissioning
I do these artworks in my spare time, so I don't take too many commissions, sorry. I will keep a list here of current and past commissions. If you would like to commission me to make your animated banner text, please fill in the form below and post it in this thread.

Requirements
Please fill out the form below by quoting the second post in this thread and then editing the fields. Please note that this particular animation offer includes random animation effects of my own choice as the artist. As the commissioner of the artwork, you get to specify the wording, the font, the font size, and the color of the text. What the animation does is completely my own choice. (I may offer a more comprehensive animation offer later whereby the person commissioning the artwork has more control over the animation effects applied.)

Fonts
I have a large selection of fonts available, but any open-source TTF font can be used in your artwork. Please provide an accurate URL that I can use to directly download your specified font. If I am unable to download your required font, I will substitute it for the nearest match from my own collection.

Prices
The asking price of 1000 Credits per artwork is a fixed price. However, commissions involving derivatives of artwork that I have previously created will qualify for a 50% discount. In effect, the first animated text banner will cost 1000 Credits, and any further artworks that use the exact same font, size, color, and animation effects (but just different wording) will cost 500 Credits each.

Payment
All artwork must be paid for in x10 forum Credits. To help encourage me to complete your artwork quickly, please be prepared to deposit half of the negotiated price into my account before the commission begins, with the remainder to be deposited on completion of the commission.

Ownership
All of my artwork is released under the Creative Commons Attribution-No Derivative Works 3.0 New Zealand licence, and you are free to copy, distribute and transmit the work in its original, unaltered form. You do not need to specifically attribute the work, but may not attribute it to yourself or to any other entity. I retain the right to publish the artwork myself, in an online portfolio or similar to demonstrate examples of my work.

1000 credits is an awful lot for an animated banner, that is, if it is like the one in your first post.
No offense, or anything but I've seen a lot of other members on x10 offer much better ones at a much lower price. Try asking for 200 credits per banner.

Thank you for your input Dan. I do not take offense at critique from a fellow artist. The example that I put up there at the top of this thread was something that I knocked out quickly, and I agree with you that it is not really that great.

I have already had one offer for a commissioning of an artwork from the advert that I have placed in this thread, and the client is happy to pay the asking price of 1000 Credits, and also offered an additional 500 Credits...

"if you make this banner very nice i will pay an extra 500 credits for the hard work"

So, I may not have impressed everyone here with my astonishing talents in animated graphics, but it must be remembered that there are those who may not know how to, nor have the software to, nor have the inclination to, do it for themselves, and thus I am happy to provide the service for those people at the price asked.

I'm sure that your words, as a staff member of x10Hosting, may have something to do with protecting the value of the Credit, and economic concerns of hyperinflation etc. As I progress on my experience in x10, I'm sure that I will look back and agree with your words of wisdom.

Kind regards,

I'd have to agree with Dan.

I know how to animate text and stuff like your doing there, and I'd only charge about 150 credits.

Much love
Dylan
