Hi Kozo Nishida! @kozo2 I am Marcel Ramos. I volunteer to work on the BioC Asia 2021 sticker. I will take your recommendations and come up with something. :jp: Best, Marcel
Hi @kozo2 , @LiNk-NY , totally fine for me if Marcel takes over designing the sticker. We should just synchronize not that we're doing the work twice.
Hi Johannes, @jorainer I totally agree that we should coordinate. If you have something already prepared, by all means, go ahead. I don't mean to steal your thunder :) I can work on the following year's design. Be well and stay safe. -Marcel
I haven't started yet, so for me it's OK if you would take over Marcel. I'm fine with everything - but @kozo2 should agree.
Thanks @LiNk-NY @jorainer (Then) Is it OK to ask Marcel on Jo's behalf?
So (if I understood it correctly) @LiNk-NY Marcel will design the sticker. All fine for me.
Hi Kozo Nishida, @kozo2
I have completed the BioC Asia 2021 sticker. I added a couple of things to fill up space, namely the shiro and sakura at the top and bottom. どぞよろしくおねがいしまうす。
Best, Marcel
@LiNk-NY Thank you so much! It's very Japan! I'll ask other people for their thoughts. (For now, I don't have any requests about your design.)
I love it! Looks great!
Thank you! Happy New Year!
I'm sorry @LiNk-NY. I became more aware of the "message" of BioC Asia 2021 as I have discussed with the committee about the plan of it. The message is "overcoming the lanuguage barriers". Therefore, I came to want to add an expression that suggests "diversity of languages" in addition to "Japan" to this sticker. I am very sorry to you (@LiNk-NY), but I would like to also propose the following sticker. I am sorry to ask you a favor.
This painting is just a copy of Japanese ukiyo-e artist Hokusai, but I thought that the symmetric and different-looking mountains on the surface of the lake would be a good indication of the diversity of languages. (And I added Japanese text to the surface of the lake.) If you allow me to be selfish about my expression, I would like to ask you to change the sticker used for BioC Asia 2021.
Hi Nishida Kozo, @kozo2
I understand and agree with the message of inclusion of diversity of languages. Perhaps we should also include Chinese text for "Bioc Asia 2021 Virtual" on the sticker?
The conference starts Nov. 1 so I should have some time to work on it. It would be difficult to replicate Hokusai's work but I will see what I can do.
Best, Marcel
@LiNk-NY Thank you for your comment. I am sorry, but I will replace the hex sticker on https://bioconductor.github.io/BiocAsia2021/ with one that has message of language diversity. Yes, I will include Chinese(Mandarin?) text on the sticker too. This Hokusai's work is in the public domain of Wikimedia Commons, so it may be usable as it is.
Hi Nishida Kozo, @kozo2
I have updated the sticker. Please let me know your comments.
Best regards, Marcel
@LiNk-NY I also made some changes. I filled the lake surface color at the bottom. And I wrote Mandarin and Japanese on the same hexagonal (lower right) side. This is because I felt that the space on the upper right is a little small. I also pushed the image data source to https://github.com/Bioconductor/BiocAsia2021/tree/main/static/img/carousel . (BiocAsia2021Hokusai.* is that. You can send a pull request for it!) The fonts I use in each language are as follows.
Can I use this version for BioC Asia 2021 website?
Hi Kozo, @kozo2
That is a great idea to combine the two languages into one section! I personally prefer the red lettering. If you will permit me, I'd like to remove the dark corner in the sky so that it looks uniform and less ominous.
Best, Marcel
@LiNk-NY Sorry Marcel, I've been busy these days and I'll be late to reflect your suggestions.
@kozo2 can you please add the final sticker version to the repository?
Sorry, @LiNk-NY I don't think I can make time to reflect your request. Please allow the sky to remain dark blue and the letters to remain black.
@jorainer @LiNk-NY I sent the final sticker version to the repository. #163 Let me also include the Marcel's sticker in the repository. (Let me know if it can be a problem.) I will add "Why did we make changes to the Marcel's sticker" and "We had the Marcel's sticker as a draft" to https://biocasia2021.bioconductor.org/ . Therefore, I would like to include the Marcel's sticker in this repository too.
Hi @jorainer I'm Kozo Nishida. I will be in charge of organizing BioC Asia 2021. I would like to ask you to design a BioC Asia 2021 sticker. I would like you to utilize the BioC 2021 sticker for the BioC Asia 2021 sticker design. https://github.com/Bioconductor/BiocStickers/tree/master/events/Bioc2021 Specifically, I would like ask you to replace Mt. Rainier with Mt. Fuji, a Starbucks mug with a Japanese tea cup, and green plant with Japanese bonsai plant (on the BioC 2021 sticker).
Can I ask you to create BioC Asia 2021 sticker by deriving it from BioC 2021 design? BioC Asia 2021 will be held after BioC 2021(July?). Therefore, I would appreciate it if you could design the BioC Asia 2021 sticker by July.
