Start a Forum Graphics Shop

Graphic Design
1

help others in the community look their best on the forums. inspired by the old forum shops of yore, the idea here is that you create a thread including what graphics you’re willing to make for others, and in exchange, you’ll get badges that you can display on your profile.

eventually, we hope a discourse plugin to support forum currency will be implemented, but until then, this is a great way to help out your fellow community members and make the forum more visually diverse!

Quick question: what size should a user card banner, profile banner, etc. be?

4

apologies for the late response! these sizes are accessible from your profile settings, but i’ve listed them here. keep in mind we have a less than 4MB requirement on uploads.

  • profile banner: Profile headers will be centered and have a default width of 1110px.
  • user card background: Background images will be centered and have a default width of 590px.
  • avatar: any square size (100x100, 200x200, etc.)
  • signatures: no requirements

I can’t believe I didn’t see this thread sooner! I love making graphics; this sounds fun. I’ve even had shops like this in the past, mostly on avatar sites like Gaia Online, lol. I might have to give it a shot after my 100 Days of Art challenge finishes (two more weeks!). :smiley:
