$30 Customized Header contest

    Well, I got no luck in the design section. So, posting it here.
    I have a header from a free Wordpress theme, and I need it customized.
    Here's the original header :

    [​IMG]

    What I want is, keeping the same style (black shapes, same color outline, little bars on the sides) and exactly the same dimensions (989*183), to draw something different and insert a site name and a site caption.

    Here's what I want :

    [​IMG]

    I want people to be the same in all the three scenes, I prefer if you draw them from scratch instead of taking a ready-made image. Well, if you can find one good ready-made pic and draw similar characters for the other 2 scenes, you can do that as well. I want the characters to be as detailed as possible. Refer to the original header.

    In the site name/caption, I'd like you to somehow integrate the male/female signs. I'll give you an example of these signs :

    [​IMG]


    Hope it's clear enough. Contest ends when I am satisfied. Payment via PayPal or MoneyBookers.
    Thanks and good luck!

    I think its because it requires a bit of skills to accomplish all the suggested images in motion -- not unless they have to use a stock images or copyrighted works to add on the header. :)

    Yes, but I thought I'd be able to find professionals on DP... Everyone can play with beautiful fonts in Photoshop, it doesn't make one a real designer :)

    I actually saw your post yesterday, but for what you are offering is a little low considering designers have to draw 3 silhouettes for you, and integrate a logo. But I would really love to do this for you for a better compensation...

    Yes, that's what I thought.
    I can offer 10 EUR more in MoneyBookers if this would motivate you :)

    Looks fine. If you could do all the edges look as smooth as those on the first scene (flowers) ?
    The bars on the sides are not exactly the same as on the original header, can you make it so it matches the reste of the site (trentejours.com).
    There are some small changes to do to the title (colors), but this is not that important - can be easily done to the PSDs.

    So, if you can take care of the edges and bars, I'll be satisfied with your entry :)

    Thanks a lot for your effort.

    I like it. Really :)
    So far, your entry is the best one (three headers received so far, including yours). There is one more designer who promised to work on the project, so I will end the contest as soon as I hear from her. Couple of days max.

    The font of "Ni plus..." is a bit too basic. But that's a minor and easy modification.. I think I'll be able to customize it when I have the PSD :)
