Adding art

Adding event art is done through the Event Art Archive. To do that:

  • Go to the page of the event you want to add art to, and click the "Event art" tab.
Note Note: Always make sure you're uploading art to the right event and try to avoid watermarked images! If your image is watermarked, make sure to choose the "Watermark" type.
  • Press the "Add event art" button and you'll be taken to a form:

AddEventArt0.png

  • Press "Select images..." and select the files you want to upload. Alternatively you can drag the files into the "or drop files here" field.
Note Note: The allowed file formats are: gif, jpg, jpeg, png, htm, html, jpe, jfif and pdf.
Note Note: There's no size limit. Both original images (for example, the ones gotten from an event website or social media) and scans are allowed; if you're planning to scan posters, tickets, etc., we recommend doing it at 600dpi.
  • After uploading an image, you will see this:

  • Select the type or types that apply to the image: see our list of types. You can select more than one type, for example if an image is of a poster that also lists the schedule for the artists.
  • There is also a field for adding a short comment if you want to specify something about the image (like "first lineup announcement").
  • You can also indicate the position the image should be stored and shown in (when adding the first image to an event, you can obviously ignore this). Just move the image to the desired position with the arrows:

AddEventArt2.png

Note Note: The image with type poster which is closest to the first position will be used as the main piece of event art (and displayed in the sidebar).

Reordering art

To reorder art from the Event Art Archive, just press the "Reorder event art" button in the Event art tab.

In the reorder menu, just use the arrows until you get the order you want, enter an edit note and submit your edit.
