You can contribute to this blog by sending us a picture, that is somewhat related to the computer apps Ludvik and Ludvik2. It doesn't matter if it's a screenshot, or a modified version of Norman, e.g. Norman in a formal outfit, as long as it's somewhat related to Ludvik/Ludvik2, it's fine. This also means you can send your discussions from Ludvik.
What format and resolution for the images?
If you send us a PNG, GIF, TIFF or even SVG, that's fine. However, if you want to send JPEGs, make sure you save it with quality atleast on 90%, or else, if your image is too small, there may be compression artifacts visible. For the resolution, please try to make it atleast 350 pixels, both height and width, without scaling. Of course, make sure the image fits as an attachment into the email.
About discussions with Ludvik
It's fine if you send us discussions with Ludvik in Slovak. We'll include the original and the English, translated version as well. If you still want to translate it to English, please don't use Google Translate. Instead, rely to your english, or use a translator like DeepL.
Discussions can also be sent as screenshots, if it's the web version of Ludvik. You can also send us a portion of the discussion.
Edited Norman images
You can, of course, send edited Norman images as well. They can be anything - ranging from Norman with just a different outfit, to an angry Norman on a pillar. The resolution and format rule from above still applies. If you want a better resolution for Norman, try to upscale him using AI, and then edit him.
Sending Images
When sending your images, please make sure to send them to matkodaniel2009@gmail.com. You can use anything for the subject, but please make it obvious that you're submitting an image to our gallery. The email must contain the following form, filled out:
Description:
Author:
Category:
---
additional text
Here's an explanation of the form:
Title
The title of the post with your image. Make sure to pick a descriptive title, not just "My Norman", "Edited Ludvik" or "My Ludvik Chat"
Description
The text content of your post. This can be anything, but please make it appropriate. The maximum length for the description is 1000 characters, anything longer than that will be truncated. The description is also non-mandatory.
Author
The author that will be credited for the image. If you made the image, you can fill in your name, or your nickname. If you, however, didn't make the image, but have permission for submitting it here, fill in the name of the author. And if you don't want any name to be there, you can leave it blank, and we'll credit Anonymous for the image instead.
Category
The category of your image. This is also non-mandatory, but if you want to fill it out, please pick one of the following:
Ludvik Discussion
Ludvik Bug
Comics
Fanart
Other (please state)
The Other (please state) should be used if your image doesn't fall into any of the categories above.
Additional Text
This name is self-explanatory, basically, if you want to add any notes for us to the email, use the Additional text.
Online Form
If you don't want to use email, or your provider has a very small file size limit or doesn't even support attachments, you can use our form. We tried to make it very similar to the email one.
Meme Policy
Memes are allowed, but only if they consist of something simple, such as the TOP TEXT, BOTTOM TEXT ones, Drake-style meme, or a reaction. Anything other than that, e.g. a vertical meme video containing Norman, content-aware scale, dabbing, Norman rising from a toilet, won't be accepted. If you're unsure, don't submit any memes.
Attachments
Finally, attach your image onto the email. Make sure to follow everything written above, to have a higher chance of getting your image accepted, and afterwards published.
