Background: DREAM Challenges usually have a graphic banner that advertises the challenge on the home page of the wiki. A placeholder for this banner is actually included in the DREAM Challenge Wiki Template which has been used for the EHR Challenge Staging project. The banner usually includes: 1) the full name of the challenge, 2) one short sentence that describes what the challenge is about, 3) an illustration and 4) the logos of participating organizations.

Task:

  1. [x] Provide name of the challenge (tracked here: #10 )
  2. [x] Provide list of organizing institutions and partners (tracked here: #12 )
    • [x] Collect logos
  3. [x] Provide illustration or ideas of illustrations (ideas tracked in this ticket)
  4. [x] Make initial version of the banner (Thomas or X)

@trberg @yy6linda What would be a good illustration to put on the challenge banner? Please feel free to list here any suggestions that you may have.

trberg commented 5 years ago

@tschaffter I'm working on a first draft of the banner. I'll post for feedback.

tschaffter commented 5 years ago

Awesome! I have experienced working with Adobe Illustrator in case you are using it and have questions.

@tschaffter Here is my first attempt at the challenge banner DREAM_banner

@trberg This banner looks nice! For a production version, the art (cross, chain) could be remade in vector graphics to avoid having pixelized effect. From the bitmap image that you probably have, Adobe Illustrator has a great tool to segment it and create a vector version.

@jguinney I found out that Sage has designers that can do the banner for us if this is a DREAM Challenge. These designers have made the last two example banners that I have included in this ticket. Two comments/remarks:

On a separate note, I have initiated a discussion at Sage to come up with guidelines for the banners that all DREAM projects should abide too. This standard should allow us to nicely render a list of challenges if we decide to use the banner for this. We could also come up with standards for a square/circle logo.

Okay, I've rebuilt the banner using Adobe Illustrator. (still need to add the logos) DREAM_Banner
