    @glodium - I like the way you design but can you incorporate a human being? I think that's what my preferred design would be. But I like your approach though
    @Lucas0123 - I want the banner to look appropriate with the theme and im not really interested in what you're currently giving.

    I love how everyone is suddenly putting people in their banners holding up the "$10 off". Great way to steal ideas guys ;) Not..
    Oh and I hope the winner is prepared to dish out the money out of the $20 to actually buy these 'stock' photos since that would be illegal if you don't and you'll get the Content Holder sued.

    @V06-TECH - Wonder which one you meant by the 'stock' photos and the putting people up was what I wanted after I've seen some great ones with it.
    @Glodium - somehow it feels off. I think it is because of the empty spaces
    @ZinniDoll - I don't actually like the combination of pink and blue. It's off of the theme of my website.
    @pheonix - I like that. Simple IMO. We'll see when the contest ends

    Well i meant all of them. They may not all actually be from a specific site like istockphoto but it is copyright infringement to use photos like that from the internet (especially when money is being transferred). That's why ANY time a graphic designer needs an actual life shot photo like these, they go to stock photo websites and pay for the photo. The higher the resolution, the more expensive, etc. A lot of times a contest holder will include an extra $10 or so for the graphic designer to purchase the photo once it has been accepted as a winner (with the watermarked photo being using in the entries). But I can already tell that most of these photos were just ripped from Google images so they won't even be able to find the owners.
    As for my other comment, one person originally came up with the idea to place that person in their banner (sorry, forgot your user name). You should have continued to work with them, instead of leading everyone else to follow what he did. That kind of destroys the originality that he did.

    hi guys. my Paypal account just got limited and my money is frozen for another half a year. so i don't think i'll be able to continue with this contest. really sorry everyone
    @V06-TECH - Yeah I was planning to go ahead with choosing that person as the winner. If not the guy with the cart design but since things have messed up I can't do it anymore. Once again sorry guys

    Well, that sucks to hear that and I pity all the designers who had spent their endless effort and time in making their designs for this contest.

    As a compensation, why not you select the best design from here and talk with them if they are willing to accept any clothing material (within a price range) from your site http://www.realclothingstore.com since you mentioned that "Free shipping on all orders".

    Perhaps awarding the winner with this shirt:

    http://www.realclothingstore.com/wh...ords-and-gray-background-t-shirt-for-men.html

    What say you guys?

    @ billu1995.. stop going to every contest thread and pasting that same reply in every one of them. This is a PUBLIC contest.. NOT the services section. Start reading, designing, and entering.
    @ jokomamamita.. thats actually a really great idea!
    @ mfashraf.. your account just got limited and is frozen for half a year? how does that even happen? lol You could always just create another paypal account temporary and pay a winner.
