Add More Background Images

[VickiLanger]

This will be a running issue to let people know how to add more images to the img_bg directory

---

Make and add some backgrounds to be used at random for posting on @LGTBTotd on twitter

Requirements for Consistency

• in one of the standard fonts, include twitter handle @LGBTQotd somewhere on the image
• Keep the file name convention. Just numbers like 101 or numbers with the letter 'a' like 101a.
• Must adhere to WCAG accessibility standards for contrast and color blindness with #0b3c49 a dark blue as the text that will be on them.
• Dimensions should be 1600 x 900 16:9

Standard Fonts

• Comfortaa
• Pompiere
• Nunito
  (link to all three fonts)

Standard Colors

• #0b3c49 a dark blue
• #f2a130 an orangey yellow
• #444444 a dark gray
• #86b500 greenish
• #f4f4f4 almost white, kinda gray

Proposed workflow:

1. Fork this repo
2. Add images to img_bg keeping to the existing naming conventions:
   • Each image should have the twitter handle and meet accessibility standards
   • follow the examples in img_bg
3. Once you are done and checked for typos, commit it & push your work to your fork
4. Submit a PR against this repo

Someone will look it over and, if deemed appropriate, will merge your PR.

Thanks for contributing!

Hi @VickiLanger May I contribute to this as well?

[JasirZaeem]

@VickiLanger Image size is currently assumed to be 1600 x 900 in the script to generate images, if and until that is changed Dimensions of images being added should only be 1600 x 900 so "Dimensions should be 1200 x 675, 16:9 or equivalent" should be changed to tell contributors adding new images the same.

[VickiLanger]

Thanks, @JasirZaeem. Fixed.

Hey @VickiLanger Can I contribute to this as well?

Am I also supposed to add that translucent box with twitter handle?

[VickiLanger]

@prankurverma It's not required. The most important part is being accessible. So, if there is enough contrast between the background and the #0b3c49 text that will be on the background, then the translucent box isn't needed. I'm open to anything that still adhere's to WCAG accessibility standards

I believe the box is added by some automation or template? Is it fine if I simply add my created background? Or is the box template included in this repo?

The box was manually placed on each background. I built the first 100 or so files with canvas. Design and stuff isn't really my thing. an example background image
