GCU University Videos - Title Slides needed
Dec 16^th, 2010, 7:25am

Hi gang,

I've started a video series to aid in new artist orientation and for ongoing education. The purpose is to reduce origination errors in order to cut down on the card review time. There will be a set of BASIC, ADVANCED, and EXPERT videos created.

Here is the first "sample": BASIC Level: Create a Card.

I thought it would be "GCU-like" if Artists had a chance to participate by creating title slides for these videos like the one I show in the sample.

Here is a 1280p x 960p TEMPLATE you can use to create a title slide. You have the full space to use but I need a "clear space" of approximately 500p x 300p for the video title. There is also a space for an optional "Image by" of 800p x 50p centered at the bottom in order to bring you some exposure for your art. No URLs please. Just name, store name, both, or none.

Pleae use an education theme, much like in the example.

The key is to place the words "GCU University" in your artwork in relatively large form like in the sample. Be creative! This is essentially a billboard of your work so take it seriously. One per Artist.

A clickable link to your store will be in the video description on YouTube.

I will also use your slide at the end of "your" video, replacing the lesson title text with "The End."

Just email me your 1280 x 960 file as a jpeg at tom at fearlessthinkers dot com

I will use a random selection method in using these for the various videos.

HAVE FUN!!

Tech writing can quickly lose people, but a video is a terrific way for people to understand each step and see the screen results. Any beginner would feel comfortable creating cards from this video. Thanks.

Wow! You are amazing. Really appreciate your time and effort. This is just what is needed. Excellent video that is clear and simple for the new artist to understand the process.

Thanks so much for the offer to participate. I will enjoy creating a title slide for this project. However, will not be able to work on one until this weekend.

Happy day!
Kati

I need more title slides! Educational themes ... make the viewer say "WOW!" (One per artist)

I learned something from this video already. I didn't know that your fonts could overlap. Now, I will be on the lookout for that one. Thanks, Tom.

Or do you prefer slides without a title, so you can add that when you create a new video??

Yes ... just leave a 500p x 300p area open as shown above and I will add the title. It's been working great.

I STILL NEED MANY MORE!

I hope I won't have to resort to threats of nudity to motivate you all! Cheesy
