1) The text is way to small to make an effective cover/banner.
Here's two ideas for fitting larger text in there. The previews are just for demonstation as the new text is just splotted over the old.
Anyway, that's just two examples to give you an idea of the size the text should be.
Between the two, I like the layout of the smaller text better, covers less of Sara. But I'll admit the larger text looked quite a bit better when I previewed it on the Jam's itch.io page.
Feel free to pick either or roll your own if you like.
Alternately, if you want to just post the Sara pick sans text, I can add the text at whatever size makes sense for the different banner/cover images that we'll need.
2) Unless you're super attached to it, I would drop the faded/repeating 'ALL-OGA GAME JAME' text in the backdrop. It's a neat idea but it kind of distracts from Sara.
ps
Should we port it to the Sega Master System Palette? jk ;)
oh not better, just thought it might be more in keeping with the 'All-OGA' theme of things. But approach it however you like, I'm sure whatever you come up with will be awesome! :)

Actually, here is an even better link for seeing all Pedro Medeiros stuff:
oh, yeah so as an approach, I suggest you bang out the 'cover image' 315x250 first and we can scale or expand that as necessary to use as the banner image.

itch.io wants a 'cover image' that's 315x250.
We'll also need a banner for the top of the game jam page.
Looks like I went with '588x440' for that on my effort for the Summer 2018 Jam.
Pretty sure I just took the logo part of the cover image and scaled it by 2x or 3x.
For refernce, banner appears on top of the game jam's own web page. cover image appears whenever itch.io links to the jam page (ie. on itch's big list of jams page).
ps
bonus points if you use one of the existing OGA Sara sprites!
@Spring: No worries, you're Sara drawing skills are way above mine! ;)
@all:
Ok, the jam page is live at:
https://itch.io/jam/fall-all-oga-game-jam-2018
Rules got pretty detailed, if the stictlers out there would care to review them and give me their feedback that would be great.
pps
I moved the red to the 'ALL-OGA' in order to emphasize that aspect of the title, since that's what's special about the jam.
> OH GULLY
Oh that's too good! You guys gotta use that one!
> What do you think of this?
It looks...Awesome!
Two quibbles...

but ok, yeah, sorry I didn't mean to distract from Sadfaces' tutorials which are awesome!
the 'all on one animated gif' gimmic is cool, but having things spread over a few gifs does actually make Sadface's stuff a little easier to follow.

@MedicineStorm:

@Sping: oh and thanks for volunteering!
