       Getting Started using banners

       where when how why

       Places

      church, parish hall, narthex, classroom, office, home, entry hall—in fact, any space that needs a spot of color

       Times and occasions

      Seasons: Christmas, Epiphany, Lent, Easter, Pentecost

      Celebrations: weddings, baptisms, confirmations, bar mitzvahs

      Special events: festivals, pageants

       As hangings

      against the wall, from a pole, from the ceiling, as a divider, on the lectern, pulpit, or altar

       Carried

      in a procession: entry, gospel, offertory, wedding, or festival

       Purposes

      to produce a mood or set the stage for a specific event; to add color, beauty, and meaning to an event; to define an area; to identify a place or organization, as a memorial, a gift, or a permanent work of art

       the FIRST decision how BIG?

      The size will be determined by:

       the size of the room

       the height of the ceiling

       the available wall space

       How it will be used:

      If the banner is to be carried, it must be a comfortable size for the person who carries it.

      Processional banners should be two-sided.

       the SECOND decision what SHAPE?

      Shape is primarily a matter of proportion—the ratio of height to width, that is, tall and thin, short and wide, etc. In general, this is determined by where and how the banner will be used.

      Examples: square (1 × 1), rectangular, horizontal or vertical, (1 × 1, 1½ × 1, 1 × 1½, 1 × 2, 1 × 3, and so on)

      Another shape may be added to the bottom of a basic rectangular shape.

      The dominant horizontals and verticals of all of the above shapes relate well to architecture, but any shape that will hang is possible. Experiment with: (a) panels hanging side by side, (b) twisted or draped shapes, (c) layered shapes, or (d) inverted triangles.

       the THIRD decision the MESSAGE

      In addition to being a decorative hanging, a banner speaks.

      The very nature of fabric hanging loosely, moving with every breath of air, free to flow, to sway, to flap, speaks of freedom, of motion, of aliveness.
