$50 Header Contest - Show Off Your Mad PS Skillz

I have a blog which needs a face lift so I want a new header design.

Here is the website: http://tinyurl.com/m8srhj

Header color: Doesn't need to fit with the current website which will be redesigned. The preference for the main background color would be red.

Header slogan: The Healthy Approach to Building Muscle and Gaining Weight

Header use: For web only.

Size: 760 x 150 px

Style: Doesn't need to be web 2 but it can be. It needs to be suitable for a youngish demographic (teenage/20's).

Deadline: I will definitely announce a winner but will not state an end time as I like to see what comes through and work with that.

Payment: PayPal.

The winner may need to make small changes to the entry if required.

 

Any feedback?

 

The original file is .png made in PS and Fireworks.

 

Open until when?

 

leetsooc - Good start, but I think it needs more work. The header needs to be more balanced perhaps by including a muscular person on the left. And you have used the wrong text for the slogan.

Dane2007 - Not really liking it. It's too much of a bodybuilding theme for me. The site is more focused on skinny guy's getting bigger. The pic of the guy is too big, the belt is not very relevant, the fonts I'm not liking, the colors I'm not liking... don't know what to say to improve it.

Until I pick a winner. I haven't set an end time.

 

I'm in..

What do you think?
Feedback highly appreciated..
thanks..

 

JacoArmy - Thanks for the entry. Not a bad start. I would prefer the slogan to be one line and a different font, and to also include the website name somewhere.

I must admit I am also looking for a bit more creativity with the entries. I want a original design which will be memorable but a nice and clean layout.

minneola24 - Thanks for your entry. The concept of the muscle man is good but design but design is very simple. Looking for a bit more wow factor for a $50 contest.

hi dcristo..
any feedback on my last two works??
do you like it??
let me know

 

Tell me what you like and what you don't like, thanks!

 

Hey, Version 2b I like the most, but it still needs more work. I like how you have used an image in the background, perhaps use something to do with weight training? Much of the content relates to this. Also, the domain is "Gaining Weight" every designer seems to have followed the first typo

 

My try (Ignore the istockphoto watermark).

Here's my concept.
