$40 Header design contest- help!

I just finished a redesign of http://confessionsofahousewife.com and I need a header to match, I HATE the one there and really want something more professional looking and pretty. It is a blog run by me, a work at home mom, so something relating to that would be a plus.

I definitely want some sort of image, something that goes well with the colors in the theme and the theme of the blog of course. Let me know if you have any questions!!

Title is Confessions of a Housewife and background should be transparent OR the same as current background color.

I hope you have fun with this- I am at a loss for ideas on this one. Thanks in advance!!

I will run this contest for 1 week, pick a winner on Monday, march 2nd, 2009. Will pay that day via paypal

 

PS- I like vector images as well as the 3d look, like actual cut out paper and such. if that helps. The header hopefully will pull everything together on the blog.

adding a .com is optional, willing to go either way

 

i could make you a cool looking header. when will you decide and pay is my question?

 

good question! LOL I should have specified that in the OP huh?

(adding to OP now! thanks for asking!)

 

Ok finished, will accept 15$ if your interested.

 

thanks so much for your entry, while yours is nice, I am looking for something more professional and fun looking, a little web 2.0 you know? I also need it to match my theme colors. Thanks.

Keep them coming!

 

Will give this one a try, love the design of your site btw.

 

thanks! I have been playing with it for a while, I just can't seem to get the header where I like it- that's where yall come in!

 

Will work on other versions sometime in the next two days

 

my try:




global view




if you like design it can be improved on your demand..

 

Feedback appreciated.

 

thanks you guys!!

@ totalx90 - the new one can take up the whole 940 px wide area, I love the use of fonts though, maybe the colors could blend a little more though?

@kaosmaster- cool idea, but I am going for something more modern looking, I like the different fonts though

@anidesign - I really like the pictures! Maybe a few less and the title a bit bigger? I think a different font could look nice too! I like the look of 2 or more fonts/colors (((also, could the pictures be replaced by me later?))

 

modernized :

 

this is better:

 

full size preview sent via PM

EDITED: WHoops! I've noticed a mistake in spelling I will fix it in case if there will be a pissibility for me to win, you know..

 

Thanks for the feedback, here are the changes. Sure you can change the pictures.

 

Wow, I really like your design

 

kie: thanks

 

anidesign, I love the second one! All it needs is an 'a' (for confessions of a housewife) and I think the lady could go, i love the fonts though! can the orange in the 'of a' match the orange in the background a little more? Other than that I really like it!

@ exupery, I like it, but it does not really match the site subject very well, sorry :-(

 

Hi there, here are my three entries.(Two brightly coloured versions and one fitting with your BG image colours) I have gone for the vector illustration look complete with vector "snapshots".

Amendments can be made on request and feedback is really appreciated.

Thanks!
