    This should be very easy to do for a person
    who is right for this project.

    I need a banner for this website:
    Product Reviews

    Just like this: http://screencast.com/t/6Y5aMpeP2FH
    only with:

    - different people
    - white background (better if png)
    - "Candid reviews by real people" can be two lines

    Dimensions: 530 x 140 px

    Important:

    If you find pictures of people at royalty free
    sites that would be good for this project, ask
    as, and we will buy them for you so you can
    use them in the design.


    Here are some examples:

    http://screencast.com/t/bV8JTrDL
    http://screencast.com/t/Xq17YtosE
    http://screencast.com/t/COoVzVzG

    If you have any questions, please ask.

    Greg,
    Project Manager

    What I meant is to have different people.
    Totally different faces.

    Thank you for the entries...

    Quick comments:


    @Seni:I really like it... but that's not what I'm looking for.
    You used the example image I gave you instead of finding
    pictures of other people. Please see the explanation at
    the end of this post.

    @agapito: I got a lot of PM messages, but it would be easier
    if everybody would post here. You are right.

    @graphicband: Look, I really like what you did... the image you
    found and the fancy tag line. However, that is not what I am
    looking for. You did too much work. The tag line is too fancy,
    please see the description at the end of this post.

    @Kingsmart: I like the fact that you got transparent background
    (nothing in the background), however, you did too much work
    on the tag line. The people look like more like couples for a dating
    site. They should be more appealing to the general public, meaning,
    there should be a variety of young people and middle age people,
    women and men. Try to keep the number to 3 just like in the example.
    It should be more like the faces of regular people that submit reviews
    on this site. Oh, and please see the description at the end of this
    post for comments on your other entry.

    @neilparnham: Thanks for your entry. Unfortunately, that is not what
    I am looking for and does not follow the directions above. Please see the
    description below for more detailed explanation of the header/banner.

    Description: Alright. This is simpler than you think it is.

    First, just find general looking people representing general public.
    They should have casual dress, NO neckties, NO suits, NO business looking,
    NO sales people looking.

    There should be good representation of general public by having
    two women and one man, one woman and two men, and they
    should be of different age, not just young people or just old people.

    It would be perfect if they don't have their arms crossed.

    I guess you know what I'm talking about.

    Second, the tag line ("Candid reviews by real people") should be
    very simple writing just like the one you see on the example banner:

    http://screencast.com/t/6Y5aMpeP2FH

    Plain text, no black background, same font, same size, same color.
    Because there is not enough space, you can place it in two lines like this:

    Candid reviews
    by real people


    Thats it. You are done.

    it should be on white background because it is going
    to be used as a banner, meaning... it is going to be
    placed in the page, not on the top of the page.

    This is the best one so far.

    Two points:

    - The tag line is too big, try to make it look
    like the one in the example, and put it in two
    rows, like this:

    Candid reviews
    by real people

    - If you can, try avoiding cutting out people.
    But this one looks good because of the people
    in it. They are attractive and at the same time
    represent the general population.

    these images are good, so if you can buy them,
    do so and I will compensate you later, if not...
    let me know and I will buy them and send to you.

    Thanks

    Thanks for the entry. I personally don't like the guys, but the
    lady is alright. Can you find better looking guys?

    You got the main point though, now need to refine it with
    better looking guys. The tag line is not what I asked for.
    There is no "-" in it. It should look like the one in the example.

    Just like this:

    Candid reviews
    by real people

    Thats it. very conservative.

    Take a look at this site to get an
    idea of what I mean:

    E p i n i o n.com

    Thanks

    Thanks for the entry.

    This is much better, but two people have
    their shoulders cut off, so it devalues the
    overall design. In addition, the tag line is
    too big and 3 lines, as supposed to 2 lines.

    It should be just 2 lines and the same as in the
    example in the first post of this thread.

    Candid reviews
    by real people

    Thats it. very conservative. no need to
    make it big and loud, because it is not
    the name of the web site.

    Thanks
