Convention Banner

Description

edit: Doh! Typo! I meant Velcro, not Velcor... oopsie me.

This is my new convention banner and a brief guide as to why I chose this design.

Essentially, I attend a lot of different venues... on some of them, I don't bring any comics, just my jewelry. Others, I bring everything!

I attend some conventions that are horror themed, I attend some that are christian... I also release at least 1 new product/comic every convention. All in all, I was going to end up ordering a new banner every year, minimum!

So, instead, I designed a banner that would be versatile. For a Halloween/horror based convention, I add on only my related products, additional signs, etc. to make it spooky and theme appropriate. I also only bring my material that complements that theme.

For trade/craft shows, I add some sparkle and display only my jewelry and hang the many different necklace ribbon and cords from it for easy access and so customers can view it from far away, it also makes the banner rather colorful, all those beautiful ribbons hanging from it.

I can add, to this minimalist banner without it getting too cluttered, too quickly, and I can show off all my artists in the most appropriate way!

I was tempted to order 1 banner for my most popular comic, but Predator Turned Prey, while scary at times, doesn't fit a Halloween convention... just as Hybrid Rose wouldn't fit a convention for young children.

With this banner, I simply get posters I attach to thick, but light backing (usually a sheet of Styrofoam I cover in a fabric that matches the art), and Velcro it to the banner!

I can even make thinner banners and add them to the middle of this one, such as a quote "Come on! It's the Last Day of the convention! Go crazy!" I can change every day... or even every hour if I feel like it! I can even have my artist friends design a small banner they want me to show off and add it, and can even cover my DA address and replace it with theirs! It's very handy!

Do you have a place to have these printed yet? I work for a independently owned company in Phoenix AZ [link] ! We could work together to get these buggers to people at PCC! :D
