$100 Header Image and Banner Ad Contest

I like it - and I don't think you're copying Tropica either. I like your use of the red blooming flower in the header and in the banner. I also like the banner "as is" but you have a grammar error. It should say get "answers" (as opposed to "answer")

So far it's a toss up between your design and Tropica's. For other designers wanting to participate, these are the kind of designs I'm after.

Here's my try for the header first of all :



My banner - I tried to keep it subtle as per the brief :

 

no its cool to say which designs you like, i just have issues with concept theft!

sorry for the thread hijack

 

Thanks for the feedback...will work on a revision....

 

New Header:



error corrected:

 

There's still a typo in your header - 'TRUESTED' should be 'TRUSTED'

 

Thankyou DaveyBoy. Will post corrected one.

 

Revision to header.... Feedback appreciated....

 

Revision to Forum Banner......Feedback appreciated..... Thanks

 

& On the page....just for good measure....;o)

 

Very nice The only thing I'm wondering about is the image of the plant itself in the header. I like what you have, but I'm just wondering how many visitors to my website will actually know what it is as they are used to seeing the "usual" image of the plant (like those in Tropica's and Crowquill's designs). If you can tweak that and leave the rest of the header "as is" you may be the front runner...(although the image you're using still looks good so it wouldn't be the end of the world).

Banner is fine.

It's o.k. Not a big fan of the image you're using on the right side of the header. Kind of looks like male anatomy

Nice revision. The only thing I don't like is the image of the plant you're using. It looks too "Hawaiian" and too animated (vs. a picture of the actual plant).

Travis

 

Thanks for feedback; I have changed the image on my header to a couple of others. Let me know if these are any better please.





Thanks,
Dave.

 

My second try: colors blended as per site colors.






No feedfack so far for the following:



banner .gif animation will post soon for second attempt. Feedback please.

 

Very nice! I like the second one the best. Please leave it "as is" as it is definitely the front runner.

Travis

 

Croquill:

I like the revisions overall but to be honest, I'm really partial to Dave's designs at this point.

Travis

 

I know I said this was going to be a one week contest, but at this point I have enough designs that I like and would like to shut down this contest a few days early. That being said, I will be ending this contest in 24 hours.

I want to thank all the designers so far that have submitted their designs. I appreciate it.

Travis

 

Another revision....... Of course, I would be happy to make the smaller banner with the same image if you like this.....
