$35 header contest - Fishing Compass

This contest is for a header for the site Fishing Compass.
The site sells vintage fishing equipment.

size: 968 x 180

Text: Fishing Compass
tag: Your guide to vintage lures and reels

color scheme: sepia with photos

Here is a photo I like for the header:
http://www.bigstockphoto.com/photo/view/314303

a vintage compass and perhaps some vintage fishing tackle

If I like your idea I can pay for any photos you use from BigStockPhoto.com unless you already have vintage photos to use.

Winning header will receive $35 via Paypal.

Contest ends Saturday at noon EST.

 

hope you like this... im open for revisions... thnx!

 

That's really nice, RNHalawi!

I like the images, layout, and colors. (I'll pay for those two bigstockphotos if I choose this design.)

Only suggestion would be to see if there is any way to make the text stand out a little more.

...and maybe change the first photo of the compass on the right to a vintage reel or another lure?

I like the design as is... but those are just two ideas.

 

wow.. thanks for the feedback... how about this one..

do you like the font that I used?

 

hmmm... thanks for trying something different with the text to make it stand out.

I think I like your first header the best right now though.

 

You might want to use another stock photo of the compass. It was clearly watermaked and I think they will pissed to know the photos being used without their consent.

I'll try to come out with something later tomorrow to try my luck.

 

@nyunyu
kindly read the CH first post... thnx! (the pix is just a mock-up for preview purposes... once the header is final the CH will buy it) cheers!


@PaulaSmiles

thanks again for the feedback

 

Hope you like this! I can edit as much as you want and whatever you want!

 

RNHalawi - I still like your first layout the best. However, you know how you have two photos on the right? one is a compass and one is a fishing lure? Could you replace the compass photo with the reel one?

Mathias - I like the color and the close up photo. The text is hard for me to read though. Is there a way to make it stand out more?

 

Which one do you like most, then I'll go on editing the one you prefer! I'll see what I can do...

 

heres your request...

 

I like the second one. Thanks!

RNHalawi: Thanks for the change... looks good!

 

thanks! just let me know if you have any more request.. =)

 

Don't worry about doing this now... but if yours is the winning header... can the photos be changed to sepia also to make them look older? Like I said don't worry about doing it now though... not sure I even want that... just curious.

 

There you go, I just changed the font to a very large one... If you want me to change the color, opacity, add an effects,... Just ask it and I'll edit this header!

 

sure! no prob about the photos.. even in sepia.. =)

 

mathias - that looks good... can't think of any other changes. Good luck!

RNHalawi - thanks... good luck!

 

Please let me know who else is interested in entering this.

I'm thinking of ending it tomorrow night.

If someone needs more time I will leave it running until the end on Saturday.

Thanks!

 

Here is my attempt...honestly its kind of hard to work with images that arent purchased yet...the sizes and quality of the purchased ones will be better...so I guess this is more of a general idea...
