Hi, so I'm writing this RPG (Polaris: A Tragic Fairy-Tale), which isn't done yet, but I have a sudden need for a "coming soon" advertisement, simply because there are a number of places I could run it.

There are, however, problems. The first is that I have the graphic design skills of a retarded slug. The second is that I have no money to hire anyone to do this for me.

So what I am looking for is someone to design a text-ad (or do the art and design a graphical ad) on a largely volunteer basis. I can provide some things for you:

1) Name recognition (ad designed by ____ as a caption)
2) A first shot at the (slightly) paying gig of laying out the Polaris text.
3) Some spiffy present from China, like cool minority textiles or really good green tea, mailed to you when I get back to states (August.)

What I cannot provide for you:

Cold hard cash.

Any takers?

Hey Ben. How about if you just take the train up to Nanjing sometime between September and next June and buy me a bottle of cheap Chinese beer? You know, the wine-bottle-sized ones that cost 1 kuai? Surely you can afford 0.12 cents. I'll treat you to hotpot and we'll play some indie games.

In any case, send me details on what you want and I can send it to you in a few days.

Wow. That got a lot of response (in case those watching are curious, most of it by PM.)

Thanks everyone! I have an advert now, though. When I need art / layout for the game, y'all will be the first to know.

P.S. Jon -- I'll be in the states starting August :-( But let's talk next time I'm in China.
