ATC Badge trade
14 years ago
WELCOME TO THE BEGINNING OF BOREDOM!
Okay Guys, I need to advertise a group a a bit.. Cause I can
(The group -
atc-badge-trade )
I am just going to Copy/paste what the group is about, to help you understand the concept
ATC-Badge-Trade is all about gathering a load of artists (of all skill levels! *more on this later) to set up and trade cards/badges.
There are 2 separate sections within this group:
* ATC Trades
* Badge Trades
ATC Trades
ATC stands for Artist Trading Cards. These cards MUST be 2.5 X 3.5 inches (63 mm X 89 mm) in size. They are also commonly known as "ACEO cards".
**At this current stage, this group only caters for ATCs done with traditional media.
Sorry, no digital ones yet! (if this group picks up a little, we will find a way to include digital trades and update about it - but hey, the badge section includes digital!)
More (good, simple, etc) information about ATCs can be found here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artist_trading_cards
http://www.squidoo.com/whatisaceo
Otherwise just google "What is an ACEO" or "About ACEO", etc.
To view examples of other ATCs, just do a furaffinity search for "aceo card", "aceo trade", etc. Many beautiful ones will come up. (Yes, they can be portrait OR landscape!)
Usually an artist does the card on cardstock or cardboard, just so that there's the less 'fragile' element to it. Then, the person receiving their new card can slip it into a collector's folder!
Badge Trades
By badges, we mean the ones that are often brought to conventions. To get a better understanding, do a search for "conbadge", "con badge", "badges", etc.
* There are no set rules for these! Each artist has a different way of making badges - headshots, bust shots, fullbody, feral, anthro, traditional, digital, large, small, background, cut-round-the-edges, etc - they are unique to you, and we have no restrictions here!
DIGITAL BADGES ARE ALLOWED! Unlike the ATC category, you may create digital badges. Please take extra care when joining the trade journals, as you will need to provide specifics with your badges.
