Ok, I created a thread yesterday about hiring a designer for some headers. I got swamped with PMs and would like to try as many as I can to see which people offer different things, but I only have one site available for a header at the moment. After this is finished, I will have another, and another, etc etc... You can see my other thread HERE: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=2036705#post15477253 just to give you an idea of what I am after, but in a nutshell, I am looking to hook up with a designer long term to create my images for my sites. I have close to 50 and constantly building more. I have decided to hold this contest instead so that I can get a feel for a few different designers to see which one I like the most. The one I choose as a winner here, will most likely be the one that gets all of my graphics work. I will have different size headers needed in the future, and we can talk about other pricing then, but for now, I just want an image that is: size: 960 X 150 pixels Site Name: Themed Pool Balls Tagline: "...bringing out your true fanatic..." Colors: DONT MATTER... (greens, blues, greys, whatever looks good) Special instructions: *Top rounded corners* and outside of the rounded corners needs to be a light colored grey to fade in right. The site getting the new header is http://themedpoolballs.com It is not "live" yet because I really haven't done anything with it yet. Don't worry about that ugly grey/black background on the side, I will change that. Just give me a good quality header to replace that ugly one at the top. A couple samples that I like are attached. I like how those images flow together and the text is nice. Those headers are smaller than what I need, but it gives you an idea. I will pay $10 paypal for this and use this designer again multiple times for more headers. I will end this most likely this evening unless someone just catches my eye perfectly before then. Let it rip.
Here is what I came up with. Everything made from scratch even the balls that's why it has high resolution
Ok, it does look like you have some skill in design, but I specifically asked for rounded top corners. Also, all those balls are regular pool balls, I am looking for "themed" pool balls like NFL pool balls, NBA pool balls, NCAA pool balls, MLB pool balls, etc.... something to show a sports fans favorite type thing.
My entry: Hope you like it. Edit: Apologies.. the size was correct until i rounded off the corners and will adjust the size if you like it Thanks
I am going to wrap this up pretty soon. Right now, that one I posted above is the front runner. Feel free to make changes to your own designs if you want a shot to win this but right now, that is in the lead.
