Mozilla Science Lab's Working Open Workshop Banner

[abbycabs]

The Mozilla Science Lab is hosting our first Working Open Workshop in Berlin this February.

We didn't have time to make a banner graphic for the event, so we just used a MozFest photo as a placeholder here: https://mozillascience.org/working-open-workshop-february-2016

Goal: Banner image for our Working Open Workshop

Users: Our community of researchers, developers, librarians and more.

Where will this be used: This will appear at the top of the landing page and possibly in material we have at the Workshop itself.

Example of similar work: For MozFest we had a banner graphic explaining the open science space:
https://mozillascience.org/mozfest-2015

Due date: late January (or earlier!)

Branding: Mozilla Science Lab - http://mozillascience.org/

Landing page issue: mozillascience/plan#38

Mozilla Science Lab logo: https://assets.mozilla.org/portal/assets/#category/23

Dimensions: no hard requirements, roughly 2000 x 1000 px

Thank you @acabunoc ! We will be taking a look at this as soon as possible.
I also added the link to the Mozilla Science lab logo in your original post:

amazing, thank you!

[elioqoshi]

@acabunoc Also, what dimensions should the image be?

[abbycabs]

No hard requirements, but our banners are usually roughly 2000 x 1000 px.

Let me know if you need any other details! Thanks again :)

@acabunoc does this work?

[abbycabs]

Hey @elioqoshi -- thanks so much, this is great. Nice and simple! I'll run it by the other Science Lab staff and see what they think :)

great work, @elioqoshi - thank you!

[elioqoshi]

My pleasure! :)

[auremoser]

Very nice! Thanks!

[arlissc]

this looks amazing @elioqoshi

[stephwright]

Nicely done @elioqoshi !!!

hi @elioqoshi thanks for doing this! love how you've integrated our existing design element, the leaf-blob thing, into this cool patterned matrix!
a couple comments:
on the banner is that there's a line of those leaf/blob things on the right edge that get cut off, but it's just a tiny edge and it looks awkward. can we center the graphics so both edges of the leaf-blobs cut off, which will make it feel more like an endless matrix-y expanse of leaf-blobs, or maybe just delete that edge on the far right?
also, can we try the leaf blobs in another color range than the grey, which feel too cold/colorless to me-- maybe a blue that matches our web banner?
thanks for your help on this :)

[zee-moz]

pale yellow tones like the ones in the center of the logo might also work-- i can see these need to be light/pale somewhat neutral so as no to compete with the logo, but it might be nice to get some color in there!

[abbycabs]

@elioqoshi if it helps with @zee-moz's cut off edge request, we don't need a strict 2:1 ratio for the banner :)

Thanks again!

[elioqoshi]

Thanks!
@zee-moz Thanks for the valuable feedback, you are right indeed :)
Here we go:

In true open source fashion, here is also the pattern design in SVG.

@zee-moz what do you think? Is this good to close?

@elioqoshi we're using this on two of our event pages now -- thank you so much!

[zee-moz]

I think this looks fantastic! Love them both! Thanks for your help! :)

[abbycabs]

Hey @elioqoshi would you happen to have the source files for the banners you made here? I'm hoping to remix this for our Global Sprint :) If not, I can work off the svg you shared!

Thanks!

[elioqoshi]

@acabunoc the SVG is in fact the source file :D

[abbycabs]

Ah, thanks @elioqoshi! For some reason I thought it was just the background :)

[elioqoshi]

@acabunoc Sorry, you were right, I just included the pattern! Here is the proper one:

[abbycabs]

Oh man, I thought there was some special designer magic I couldn't figure out! Thanks Elio :)
