We are always looking for cool new graphic designs for use with merchandise or advertisements. If we choose your design for merchandise, we'll send you free samples and put your name up here in lights. We can use a range of styles, from cute to edgy.

Please send samples in .jpg, .gif, or .png formats, but, if your design is selected, we prefer the final package at high resolution in Photoshop format, with each design element on its own layer. That gives us the flexibility to modify a design, e.g. change the dimensions so that it fits on a coffee cup instead of a web banner.

Depending on your vision, send your ideas to: Merchandise, Publicity, or Advertising.

Designers who want to volunteer for publicity, recruiting, and/or graphics tasks needed to grow the FSP, can join the FSP-Publicity group at Yahoo.

Merchandise

Most items in the FSP store use a more-or-less rectangular design at a resolution of 300 dpi.

If you want to be really helpful, you could produce your design in the range of resolutions used by CafePress.

Web Banners

We already have some web banners available but we can always use more, especially in two formats: Google Adsense and Blogads. Again, if you make your design at high resolution using layers, it will be easy to modify for different standards.

Note for Blogads:

- Title (Max 32 characters)
- Graphic 150x200 (portrait) and 16kb (animated?)
- Text (Max 300 published characters, can include links)
