    Hey Guys,

    Simple contest... can somebody make a graph like this...

    [​IMG]

    I really like the graph, but I obviously can't just take it, looking for something similar (if not better). So here are the requirements:

    1) Would like it to be 3D and eye catching

    2) Must have a transparent background

    3) Must be blue coloured (to fit into top right corner of newpokeraffiliate.com homepage)

    4) 150x135 dimensions

    Contest will last for 2 days, or until I find the perfect design. Let me know if you have any questions!

    Payment by paypal or moneybookers.

    Same sort of colours, doesn't have to be exact. Same with the text. If anything I'm looking for similar, but better with the design.

    Probably a good idea to round the figures on the right to something like 110, 150, 190, 230.

    Thanks scorpion, but its not quite what I'm looking for. It's nice, but I'm looking for something a little more professionally finished.

    Also, sorry guys but I made a mistake with the sizing, can you make it 150x135 instead? Very sorry about that.

    SecureWeb: Sorry, but it looks as though you've just modified the original image a little. I'm looking for something from scratch.

    Oh right I see, sorry about that then. I guess the problem is that it's just too similar. I really appreciate the effort though. How about switching the angle of the graph so that it's going into the screen on the right, rather than going into the screen on the left in the original.

    Also give it your own unique touch so that it's less similar to the original.

    It's really nice, but again it simply looks all too similar. I wouldn't want people thinking I ripped off the other guy's graph. I'm can't really advise you too much on how to make it different though sorry, because I'm not much of a designer.

    EDIT: On the last one, now we are getting somewhere. Maybe play with a few other things to make it even more unique. Again I'm not sure what you could do, but I like what you've done with the background part.

    Okay, I think you are probably going to win this. So here are my quick suggestions.

    1) I like the alternate coloured text at the top. Could you put "Estimated Online Gambling Revenue (Billions)" Instead.

    2) I think I liked the values as they were, can you change them back. On the y axis can you put 110, 150, 190, 230. And on the x axis can you put 2007, 2010, 2015. Your current 2007 seems a little off also

    3) Love the background part of the graph. Can we try each section fading a little in colour as we move to the bottom?

    4) Not a big fan of the bars' shadows, can we take them out or improve them in some way.

    Sorry about all this, but 10/10 for effort. You're nearly there.
