Yes, yes I, the great and prolific Ensis am reinstating my offer to design Signature banners bearing the the title of your novel-to-be right up until midnight on November 1st!
So far I've had only one taker who failed to provide me with any details as to what she desired, but I hope to design many professional looking Banners for my fellow writers--just see the one below!
It is a little busy, but I'm still proud of it--and yes, the lens flare bears significance.
So to recap, here are the rules (more like guidelines):
a) Corpus Christi Participants ONLY please; I don't have time to make banners for the whole world.
Because I may not have any way of telling if people switched their region just to get a banner, priority will be given to people whom I KNOW TO ATTEND MEETINGS.
b) Please send me as many details abut the project as you can, including title, background images, fonts, taglines, concept Art, et cetera. If you want to leave everything up to me PLEASE SAY SO but do tell me the general gist of your novel so I can try to imbue the banner with a little of its flavor.
Because it takes more time than you'd think for me to dredge up raw images to work with, priority will be given to people who SEND ME RAW MATERIALS AND DETAILS.
c) Because making a good looking graphic is so time and labor intensive SEND YOUR REQUESTS EARLY. I will do my best to fill them all, but be advised that come November First, I drop everything for my own novel.
d) And lastly, but most importantly, high priority will be given to WINNERS!
Why? Because I don't want to waste my October making high quality images for losers who quit at the start of week two! Know what I'm saying?
So in conclusion, please take advantage of this fabulous, totally free offer. The only thing I ask in return is that you visit my blog. Stay a while, read some posts. Be the first besides myself to leave a comment!
It's also a good place to check out some of my other photo manipulations and get a feel for my style and quality. Search for 'picture dump day' for a smattering of work related to my novels.
So thanks, I hope to make lots of banners!

2006 "Pandora: After the Box" - failed
2007 "Monkey Ex Machina" - failed miserably
2008 "Ships and Ports" - WINNER HOORAH!

I'm gonna be busy writing, plus I'll have limited access to internet on my computer (I'm posting this from work), meaning I can't get raw images.
so, sorry! maybe next year (or after I win).
