Secondary Vox

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to let you know that Vox Banners reached 200 members today. I thought that was pretty peachy. ^_^

Cool beans,

Lauren

Hey, everyone...

I just want to point out that Team Vox as well as Vox Design is hosting a contest for people to create Valentine's Day banners! I just wanted to point that out to everyone in case you may have missed it. I'm sure a lot of you will want to enter, and I want to wish everyone luck.

I can't wait to see what you have to offer. ^___^

Good luck!

Lauren

I totally missed Vox Banners being in the TIG section a few days ago! I think that's really great. I caught what I missed in the new ThisIsGood Vox that Mena made.

I hope everyone is having fun with Banners!

Thanks for reading,

Lauren

Designers,

I'd like to make sure that the proper credit is given to people and websites when using an image or graphic that does not hold an official copyright to you. I understand that some people use their own images/photos, and others use images found throughout the internet. Let's be fair and give the proper credit! ^_^ I think it would be a good idea if everyone marked (in the banner description) where the image is from and/or who it is made by, just to avoid any complications in the future.

And if you are the creator of the image/photo, don't hesitate to say so! I'm sure Voxers who come across your banners would like to know that.

I'd like to thank everyone who has posted banners for other Voxers to use. I think that this group has done very well in the little time it's been up, so thank you! There's some really wonderful creativity out there.

Thanks so much,

Lauren

I would like to thank my boyfriend, Shawn, for creating seven of Banners' newest banners. He made the graphics himself with self-taught skills. Shawn created the designs a while ago but then incorporated them into the form of Vox banners upon my asking. And I'm so happy that he did! They all look really wonderful and I couldn't be more proud of Shawn.

*snuggles him* It's amazing how much creativity can ooze from just one person...

I credited Shawn on each banner and test each individual one out with the backgrounds that Vox provides as defaults, and they look smashing when they're being used. So please, feel free to use them!

In case you missed the seven additions over at Vox Banners, here's what Shawn donated:

Shawn's Vox is located at http://skilledjoker.vox.com/ -- although, he will not be checking back with it very often, so please do not expect an immediate response if you message him. Instead, I can relay any messages to him for you if you message me over at Kawaii. Thank you so much for reading. I'm so happy with how this group is running. More updates will be coming soon.

<3, Lauren

I wanted to let everyone that belongs to the Banners group know that I took madtwinsis's suggestion regarding copyrights on the banners and added it to the "About This Group" notice on our group's main page. Here's the text I added:

In order to help give you credit, you may want to consider putting your name on your banner in very small text as a type of copyright. I urge you to do this, for then we can avoid problems regarding who created the banner and who is just using it.

For all you designers, please that this suggestion to heart. I really don't think we all want to worry about people "stealing" other peoples' work and claim it as their own. To avoid any damange to the Banners group in the future, I urge you all to insert your Vox name onto the banner in some way to better clarify who made the graphic.

I would also like to suggest the following:

• Make all banners 940 x 200 px so the graphics look clean when uploaded onto the user's page.
• Introduce yourself to the Banners group when you join-- just an option open to you!
• Message me over at my Kawaii Vox (http://kawaii.vox.com/) if you have any suggestions regarding the Banners group.
• Designers, keep your banners respectful.
• Banner users, remember that you can also request banners, but please do so in a respectable way.
• On requestion a banner, please be as detailed as possible when describing what you want done. If you aren't, you might end up with a banner that you weren't fully expecting.

Thank you for being so supportive, everyone!

Lauren

I created this Vox specifically for the purpose of uploading banners that I will be contributing to my Vox group, Banners. To reach my Banners group, please go to this link:

http://banners.groups.vox.com/

This group is for Voxers to come together and share their wonderful and creative ideas for Vox banners. Requests may also be made, but please make sure to ask nicely. ^_~

Banner Posters: The banners posted in this group are for people to use, so please do not post a banner without knowing that anyone may use it!

Banner Users: Please keep in mind that the people who worked on the banners posted in this group are meant to be used only for Vox, unless otherwise given permission by the creator. Please use the banners with respect and make sure to give proper credit (if requested) to the designer(s) of the banner(s) you use.

Thank you!

This is not my "real" Vox, so if you want to get ahold of me in some way, please take a little trip to my domain, Kawaii:

Stay tuned for Vox banners that you can use! Also refer to my group for more free banners. (Please do not take the one I have above-- the one I am using. I made that for myself, tee hee.) Thankies. <3
