$25 Banner Contest for celeb fan site

[chris123]

I need a banner made for a Busta Rhymes fan site.

Image must be 470 x 190 pixels and incorporate atleast on image of busta rhymes. The background must be transparent as it will be placed on a grey/white gradient background.

The banner could include fire, money and cars - maybe some reference to rap, black culture etc - i have no idea so be creative.

Here is some good pics of busta, feel free to use what you can find:

There is no need for any text in this banner e.g. the name of the site or slogan. just images!

[kiteguy123]

are we allowed to use his name in it?
or is text not allowed at all?

Yes you can use his name, the font his name looks good in is called Holy Union, its the font he uses for promotional stuff. It's an old english type font.

No need for the "fan club" bit or the text at all.. without text is just a single image.

Not a sign.

Well, who knows if he might already be using some designs here, since we all don't know the url of the site.

[luvlee]

He's already have another contest running http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?p=8607768&posted=1#post8607768

[chris123]

Sorry I didn't close this thread. I didn't pick a design in the end, we ended just going with a simple image of busta and the site name which we made ourselves. Thanks to all the entries.
