oo1. Do not steal anything, obviously, or else I will send a hoard of demons after you.
oo2. Obey the T.O.S.
oo3. No flaming. If you don’t like my work, just don’t buy anything. Simple as that. (You can offer advice, though).
oo4. I’d appreciate proper grammar.
oo5. Understand that—for the most part—I don’t own the pieces of art I incorporate into my banners. For example, the opening post has pictures I yanked from google and a Kokeshi doll I bought from Aulora’s shop. I don’t own any of these. If you want to know where I get the art I use, please just ask. Most likely I have the source of the art saved on my computer or I’ll remember how you can come across it.
oo6. Do not be afraid to ask me to correct the work I do for you. If it comes out differently than you wanted, of course I’ll fix it. I want to fix it. It’s my job to make you happy!
oo7. If you don’t fill out the request forms properly, I will ask you to redo it. Even if you don’t bold the right words. It bugs me.
oo8. Don’t…PM me…Please? I’ll check the thread for your requests. I rather not have my inbox filled with requests.
oo9. Oh, but I will PM you the finish work. For your convenience :]
o10. AND I ALMOST FORGOT!—I’m obsessed with quotes. I have two books just dedicated to quotes, and I have a file saved on my computer of all these amazing quotes. When you see the option for “Quote?” you can either suggest your own quote or I can fish a quote that is suitable for your cause.
o11. OH. And thought it wont' specify in the actual forms, you can request animation. I can't say I specialized in it, but I certainly can make you an animated banner/picture.
o12. I reserve the right to add rules for whatever reasons. One reason I’ll add another rule is because I like nice even numbers. Like 12.

Woohoo! You can just skip this part. I will try to limit this part to what you need to know about me…as a graphic designer.
…though, I don’t consider myself a graphic designer. I, however, see myself as very equip to make pretty things. I am very OCD about things looking nice. In fact, I had to redo this entire thread because my original idea turned out to look awkward. Bummer, right? Well. I have been helping people on Gaia make banners and signs for quite some time, but only recently did I decide that I should probably get some gold for doing it. Not to mention I constantly want to be creative and create things (like this thread’s layout), but I have no idea what to do.
Aside from what I do on this thread, also on Gaia I roleplay. Feel free to click the link in my siggy! Outside of Gaia, but still on the computer, I muse around these following sites: Livejournal, Deviant Art, and Blogger. I also have a “Facebook” and “Twitter”, but the former is because my school clubs send meeting dates via Facebook groups and the latter is because my idol, Mika, has updates so I can stalk him easily.
Off the computer all together, I am a student with a lot of work—all the more reason I want to have this thread be a success, I need to have a creative release so I don’t go mad! (My term is almost up. Amen!). Also, I am a theater student and I writer. Though, the latter is on hiatus. It’s tragic. I know. I also go to anime conventions, and therefore, like anime and manga. Mostly Full Metal Alchemist, Ouran Host Club, Loveless, and (recently) Hetalia.
Here is an avi I am sorta questing for. I say sorta, because it’s the type of thing I would like but…I don’t really feel motivated to get quite yet. Nevertheless, feel free to donate as you see fit:

What constitutes as a banner?
By my definition, a banner on Gaia is anything meant for a header for a thread/guild, or a link for a thread/guild/profile. If this does not suite your needs, please go down to “Other”, as the request form for banners is specialized according to this definition.
How much does it cost?
Each banner will cost a simple 600g. Or you can exchange an item or service (like art) if you so wish. Just clear it with me before hand.
Well, are you any good?
I think I’m pretty good at this, but that is so relative. Judge for yourself. Here are my samples:
Banner for A Roleplay
The GPP Banner 1
The GPP Banner 2
My RP Banner Link
A Quest-Thread’s Banner
My Friend’s Profile Banner
Here is the request form:

What is Picture Editing?
I’m sure there is a better way of phrasing this, but since I made this thread late at night…I don’t know it. Anyways, what it means is that I’ll take a picture and edit it for you. Add text, add effects, change the coloring, all of that jazz. I can do almost anything you suggest. I can even make you a picture based off a quote/lyrics.
How much does it cost?
I’d say this costs about 700g. Or you can exchange an item or service (like art) if you so wish. Just clear it with me before hand.
Yeah…great…are you any good?
Well, yes. I think so. But “good” is so relative. So, like I said in the banner section, be the judge. Here are samples:
(Yes, you can take them. They are freebies…so to speak.).
(Wow, some of these are very old and made on Paint, not Photoshop. I’ll mark these with a *)
*Fly With Me…
*Pieces
One For Sorrow
*The Rose
*Someone Who Cared

What is a Posting Layout?
Though I do consider a “flob” included in this category, I also realize that people do post without that. So, basically, this is where I will design a posting layout so that you can post all pretty-like.
How much does it cost?
Just 200g. Or you can exchange an item or service (like art) if you so wish. Just clear it with me before hand.
Hah…Ha…Why should I bother?
Well, they are pretty. Also, I have made some pretty good ones in the past. Right now I am using an avi-art as a flog, but I can offer up examples.
Though, these examples are posted via my journal. I mean, how else could I really show you?
My Current “Flob”
Simple Picture Posting
A More Complex Structure
I have had better-looking ones in the past…though, I have lost them over time. Oopsies!
Here is the request form:
[size=18][b]I want a [u]Posting Layout![/u]![/b][/size]
[b]Username:[/b] (Obviously, what is your user name?)
[b]What should it say?[/b] (Do you want any words or a quote you want included. If you want me to choose, say so here as well.)
[b]Picture:[/b] (If you have a picture in mind, please provide it here. Keep in mind that the smaller, the better. You can also let me loose and do whatever I feel is best.)
[b]Set-Up:[/b] (Like my flob? Or like my bunny-one? A completed quote –as in, on the top left is "The stars are falling...", center-center is your text, and downright is "…all around me" Or whatever you want it to say/pictures to have.)
[b]Colors:[/b] (Color of you texts? Again, you can always leave this for me)
[b]Other?[/b] (Anything else you want to add?)

What do you mean by “Signatures”?
The “siggy”, as I call it, is what goes below each of your posts (or your last post on that page).
How much does it cost?
I’d say 50g. Or you can exchange an item or service (like art) if you so wish. Just clear it with me before hand.
Erm…well…what can you do?
To be honest, I’m not sure what I can do. I saw that people did this, and I know I make my signatures look relatively well, so why not? I suppose I can create a picture for you, or arrange pictures for you, or make it look neat. Though, to be honest and detrimental to my business—I don’t know how exactly I’ll be useful.
No examples other than my own siggy. Go ahead and look.

Vague….
Well, a little. Here, I want to show you that I have other talents that I perhaps did not dedicate an entire post for. I have a few of my own suggestions, and then I have a very, very vague request form for anything I did not consider.
Bump Pictures:
What is this…?
If you want to bump a thread, but make it look pretty, this is what I will make for you!
How much will it cost?
Only 200g. Or (like always) you can exchange an item or service (like art) if you so wish. Just clear it with me before hand.
Here is the request form:
[size=18][b]I want a [u]Bump Picture[/u]![/b][/size]
[b]Username:[/b] (Obviously, what is your user name?)
[b]Quotes?[/b] (Aside from the typical "BUMP", do you want any quotes added to this picture?)
[b]Picture/Design:[/b] (If you have a picture in mind, please provide it here. If you have a design in mind, (ie. You want it to reflect a rainbow. Or seem very depressing), provide it here. You can also let me loose and do whatever I feel is best.)
[b]Link or no link:[/b] (If you want me to include it with the link, please provide the link)
[b]Size:[/b] (Express this however you like. Keep in mind that "large" or "small" are relative terms. Also, keep in mind that it’s width x length. Measurements can be in centimeters, inches, pixels, whatever--I can convert it to my needs)

Thread/Guild Layouts
What do you mean by that?
Well, if you want me to design a layout for your thread, I’ll gladly do it. This thread, my one-on-one thread, and the GPP are examples of my designs for threads. I don’t have any for guilds.
How much will this cost…?
It will cost 2500g, since it is very time consuming to construct a thread like this—a good one, that is. If you want me to make banners/design more than 15 posts, then I will have to charge an additional 500g. Of course, you can exchange an item or service (like art) if you so wish. Just clear it with me before hand.
Here is the request form:
[size=18][b]I want a [u]Thread/Guild Layout[/u]![/b][/size]
[b]Username:[/b] (Obviously, what is your user name?)
[b]Purpose:[/b] (What is the purpose of your guild/thread?)
[b]Quotes?[/b] (Not what will be on each individual thread, but give me a table of contents of the individual banners you want. Maybe you want quotes added to the posts?)
[b]Picture/Design:[/b] (If you have a picture in mind, please provide it here. If you have a design in mind, (ie. You want it to reflect a rainbow. Or seem very depressing), provide it here. You can also let me loose and do whatever I feel is best.)

Despite my creative needs, I can only do so much at a time. Therefore, I will have only thirteen slots open at a time—then, I am closed until I clear it to six. Why thirteen? I like that number :] Why six? I like that number too. Do I worship bad luck or the devil? No.
The one bolded is my current project.
