Here's another graphic that I give away for free.
It's designed for PFLAG chapters who support queer by choice
people's right to express our experiences of choice. Chapters can
use this graphic on their websites to let queer by choice people
in their area know that the chapter won't harass them as other
PFLAG chapters have done. Please encourage your local PFLAG
chapter to add a message like this one to their web page.
At right is the last of my PFLAG
graphics, also free to anyone who wants to use it. This one would
work for any queer organization or individual wishing to show
their support for the right of all queer people to form our own
opinions about the causes of sexual orientation. Like all my
PFLAG graphics, this one was designed in September 2000. It doesn't
convey the ideas as quickly as the other images do, but if
someone does take the time to look at it carefully, the time it
takes to interpret it could be enough to get them started
thinking about the subject in depth.
This book is one of the first logos I can ever
remember doing. It was the summer of 1998 and I didn't even have
an ISP yet (I'd only had internet access through college, which I'd
just graduated from that May) but I was desperately looking
forward to the time when I'd finally be able to put up a website
for the first time. (Theoretically I suppose I could have put one
up in college too, but toting all my data on disks from home to
school to upload it seemed so inconvenient that I'd never
bothered.) So anyway, I was sitting at home designing websites
and looking forward to the day when I'd have an actual ISP and be
able to upload them. This is the logo I designed for one of them.
I started out with a photograph of a book, but I had to rotate
the photograph to get it at the angle I wanted, and then I had to
erase all the text on the pages. This also made the pages flat
white instead off three-dimensional looking, so I had to color
the pages in yellowish gradations to make them look three-dimensional.
Then I just added my own text.
This was my first animated graphic ever. I got the
photograph from a free animated banner generating website, but
ended up designing the banner in a separate program of my own.
