For a new site I need a cruise header (without flash) width 960 pixel height can be between 150 and 190 pixel The header should include space for the site name (e.g. Kreuzfahrt-xxx-Xxxxxx.de) and a phone number (phone number has 15 digits e.g. 01234 1234 123 456). Under the phone number I need a small navigation bar (160 x 18 pixel) The colors of the design should match to #0D0B9C and #CCCCFF I would like something related to cruises and a happy woman or couple (woman and man) in the header Please use only photos and illustrations from iStockphoto or fotolia. In the case you want to use photos from somewhere else, please provide me the source and the number of the photo(s) via PM. In the first step there will be no need to remove the watermarks from the pics. If you are the winner of this contest, then you have to remove the watermarks and you need to have copyrights to all elements used in the design. Also you have to provide me the order numbers from iStockphoto or fotolia for the used elements and to deliver an unlocked PSD, so that I can make any necessary changes myself. Payment is done via PayPal only. Please post your design entry below. Thank you!
Thank you for the entries. BlastDamage The header is to dark. I don't like the crowd on the jetty (left pic) and the background behind the couple (right pic) the forest doesn't match the theme. ZinniDoll Very nice! I like especially the couple and the ship in the middle. The pic behind the couple isn't nice, the ship on the right looks more like a yacht, can you change this? Please use as URL the example (Kreuzfahrt-xxx-Xxxxxx.de) that's nearly the correct length. If possible I would prefer two areas, one for the URL and one for the phone-number. Under the phone number I need a small navigation bar (160 x 18 pixel). Thank you!
Hello malditah, thank you for your entry. Please use as URL the example (Kreuzfahrt-xxx-Xxxxxx.de) because that's nearly the correct length. I like the couple on the left, but I do not like the cruise pic. Because the theme of the site will mainly be cruises, the ship should be more in the focus. The color of the navigation isn't that what I have in mind. I need space of 160 x 18 pixel for three links and this links are not very important, therefore I plan a font-size about 8 or 9 pixel. Thank you!
My concept...feedback appreciated , as you can see I havent yet purchased the stock so this is stilla rough prototype...
Hello ScarletWolfe, thanks for your entry. It doesn't matter that you haven't yet purchased the photos! To see a rough design is fine and welcome. I would like to see more from the couple. To see a happy couple is important! The people should get the feeling, a cruise is fun. The main focus must be the cruise pic. I am afraid your prototyp doesn't match to the colors #0D0B9C and #CCCCFF. Can you please change that? The ship doesn't look natural. Is it a model or real? Thank you!
Hmmm thats odd I typed the color codes in...anyways Ive copied and pasted them this time...The ship was real from istock , anyways Ive tried another one I got free from sxc.hu, and Ive edited the colors and made the couple more visible...feedback appreciated.
This is my try.. feedback appreciated.. all image is royalty free.. I can give source link and file for you.. thanks
Hello ScarletWolfe, thanks for your fast redesign. You are right, about the colors. Especially #CCCCFF is ugly. But I have no other choice! Perhaps you can concentrate more on #0D0B9C? The couple is nice now. But I can't accept pics from free sources! In the past I had very bad copyright infringement problems with a photo from free stocks. That had been an extremely expensive experience I want never again. Nobody knows or proofs if the publisher really has the copyright for the uploaded photo. Therefore the rule to use photos from iStockphoto or fotolia. Thank you!
Hello hendratok, thank you for your entry. I am sorry, but I can't accept pics from free sources. Please read my above comment (ScarletWolfe). Please change the photos. Thank you!
Hello ZinniDoll, thank you for the redesign. I like the couple, the woman and the ship (right hand site). Position of URL, phone-no and links is perfect. What I would like is, when you can move the ship from the right, more into the focus. The site is about cruises and the cruise should be the eyecatcher. Thank you!
Okies...Just for your knowledge then the 1st design also has a ship image from sxc.hu...So my biggest issue at this point is finding the proper ship image to use , Im guessing istock doesnt have as many as I would have thought due to company names?? I will keep looking anyways...Uhm Ive switched the colors around some let me know what you think... here are 3 different Cruise Liners Ive found so far...
Uups ... SORRY, my fault! I misunderstood it. Thank you for your PM. I don't like the ship and I prefer a ship on open sea and in the focus of the header. The position for the navigation is okay, but with this big phone symbol I get the feeling the navigation belongs to the phone no. That symbol should be smaller (max. height of the phone number). The size of the URL could be longer. Now the URL and phone number are to close together. Thank you!
