Made in XARA
With some SteemIt promotion in it.

Today I had to adjust a header for a FB group. Facebook changed their measurements which made the current group headers look awefull. This particular design I do for free as the group is a community that gives away stuff gratis. In my native tongue, Nederish {NL = Nederlands} it has a kind of fun twist to it. As you could read it like you can come and get our municipal for free. We do not want it anymore, it is gratis for you to take away. No, it is not, it is the things people want to give away for free. The concept of a sharing economy. No matter what your background is, you can ask and you can offer. And it works.
This particular design I made using the XARA Xtreme Pro software. Normally only suitable for using in Windows, but thanks to Wine it works in Linux too. Had to do a lot of trial and error, but it was worth it. XARA is the fastest Vector drawing software I know, even on a low power computer it is performing excellent. And although I like Inkscape, the best Open Sourced Vector drawing application, it cannot yet compete with XARA in terms of speed. But I do use it too.
Since I started being active on the Steem Blockchain Platform, through SteemIt dot com, I began to release my photography, design and artwork under Creative Commons license. Most of the time I use Creative Commons By Share Alike, CC-BY-SA 4.0, which means others can use it, even commercially, change it as they see fit and so on, but it needs a reference to my brand: oaldamster. This way I do not have to deal with copyright stuff, nor do others, just mention @oaldamster created the orginal and that is all.
At some point I had some of my photographs and designs used by commercial parties, not giving me credit, nor contacting me to ask if they could use it. That was before I started to use the Creative Commons license. This is no guarantee though that my brandname is mentioned in the proper way, but it is less frustrating than trying to get the copyrights thing working.
Anyway, today I was able to create something for free and license it under Creative Commons. Plus I was able to advertise for Steem a bit in the proces.
Have a great one!
FB Header for a free handout group in Oldambt
Design cc-by-sa 4.0 @oaldamster.
Mijn auto is veel te klein om Oldambt af te halen, al past het in mijn achtertuin.

Met enkele vrachtwagens moet het lukken. De Dollard en het Oldambtmeer zijn wellicht de grootste uitdagingen.

Pijpleiding? 't Is een mooie header, maar het eerste wat ik dacht was inderdaad dat er een hele gemeente ter overname werd aangeboden.

Dat zou inderdaad een mooie prikkelende header zijn.
Suggestief spelen met woorden kan er voor zorgen dat het blijft hangen.

Oh so this is what Design cc-by-sa 4.0 @oaldamster. meant, now I understand and also feel like a fool for not knowing it earlier.
Your design looks awesome!
Also I was not aware of the concept of a sharing economy before. That sounds great and it is impressive to hear that it is actually working. I guess it needs an educated society to be involved in it.

Thanks! Maybe I should mention it more with a link to the CC license explanation.
A sharing economy works pretty straight forward. Simple rules, very clear, society keeps track of reputation and so forth and so on.
One strong part of it is that anybody can join in asking and/ or offering anything for free.

Oldambt heeft 40.000 inwoners, ongeveer, is een beetje lastig inderdaad. :-)
Hahaha, ja de enige echte Oldambtsterdam kaas! Heerlijk romig en toch ook pittig van smaak.
Is voor een groep waar gratis dingen worden gevraagd en aangeboden Ivy.
