Contest High Quality Graphic Design Content -- New Header!

Hi,

I'm looking for high quality graphic designers here looking to make some quick money on the side. We do some web design work and currently we have a client who wants to use one of his images for a header on the WordPress site we are creating for him. Unfortunately the blue-grey colored WP theme we created from scratch does not match the image he submitted to us. Either we fix the images or totally revamp the design. This is where you talented artsy-folks come in

What I'm looking for is someone who can make this image, or this image match this site. As you can see, just cropping & dropping in the image in to the current design unedited does not look that good.


Here are the details again:
http://i49.tinypic.com/25hpana.jpg - original mockup
http://i48.tinypic.com/qnqk5t.jpg - proposed header #1
http://i46.tinypic.com/9vdq9h.jpg - proposed header #2


Do whatever you guys are capable of to make sure either proposed header #1 or proposed header #2 match the site. Perhaps it's not possible and if that's the case we will change the design but I figured I would at least give some of DP's talented graphic designers a chance to run with this. Don't worry about the text laying on the header in the mockup, WordPress text H1 and tagline will overlay the image so it's not part of the header. Just looking for someone to edit the image or enhance it so that it looks good with the site, no text necessary.

The actual dimensions of the header in use is around 902x185.

The reason i'm offering $50 instead of $15-$25 is because I'm looking to peak the interest of designers with SERIOUS skilllz.

Thanks, let the games begin. PM me with any questions or if you need clarification.

 

Is this all your talking about doing? Just enhancing it so it's more clear, and better quality?

 

No, not just enhancing. It needs to match the site. To me the image unedited clashes terribly. If I knew how to make it match the site I would have done it. Unfortunately I do not have an artsy bone in my body. Perhaps a blue hue, digital editing and adding graphics.. i dunno. That's why i'm reaching out here.

 

OK, I received a great entry via PM so I will give everyone 24 hours (from the time the thread was published) to enter their submissions. Looking forward to see what you all can come up with!

Hows this?

 

Here is another try:

I used the actual "A.W Research Labratories, Inc" logo you used in your sample logo so you could see what it would look like with the actual colors the same

Winner was contacted via PM. Thanks everybody for your entries.

I was not able to get the owner to participate in selecting the winner so it could be that we end up picking two winners. Stay tuned throughout this week as you may receive a PM tomorrow or Wednesday too
