Lord Frederic Badger Black Stag Herald of An Tir Seargent of the Barony of Madrone

One Page Heraldry Sheets

• One Page - The Colors of Heraldry
• One Page - The Submissions Process
• One Page - Six Common Reasons for Return (and how to avoid them)

Suggested Crititera :
1. Couched in simple easy to understand terms. This is for the newbie.
2. One page only. If it takes more than one page, divide it up into two subjects.
3. 12 pt type. I will be standardizing the font on Arial
4. Try to include a small section at the bottom for people to find out more information. Web sites, and books for example. 2-3 max?
5. Minimal graphics, but some are ok. It helps make it look cool, and livens up the page. if you don't have anything, but want one, put a placeholder in and I will find something.
