1 header for website $40

Discussion in 'Design Contests' started by rickvb, Aug 24, 2008.

    The winning design receives 40 dollar through paypal.
    The winner also gets a second assignment(if wanted) I need a similar header for the publishing section on this website aswell.
    I want to use the same designer so there won't be a difference in headerstyles.

    Competition ends in 5 days, counting from this start post.

    Deliver in format psd and png.

    Feel free to send PM if you don't want to show your design in this thread.

    What should the header look like?

    0. Header size 850 x 90px

    1. advertising targetting websites through :
    - direct on a website from a catalog
    - contextual
    - behavorial
    - age/gender/interest
    preferably these 4 target methods pictured in icons "targetted" towards a crowd of visitors(people icons or images).

    2. strongly present tagline : "Resultaatgericht en doeltreffend adverteren".

    3. Match the header with the rest of the website, can be seen at : http://www.infoads.nl/index.php?p=adverteren

    4. If you want to use extra text in the header consult with me first it has to be Dutch

    It's a bit white, but I wanted it to match the colours on your site. Tell me what you would like to have added to the banner, or tell me what to change.

    I'm from the Netherlands too, so you can pm me in Dutch.

    I'll work on some other versions in the meanwhile.

    Greets,

    Dear Semi,

    Thank you for your submission, I was looking for something more in the following style :

    http://www.adbrite.com/mb/new_feature.php

    I encourage using symbols and not much text. The text you used looks good I like effects like bevels or mirroring as you can see in the logo ;)

    Also the 4 target methods are supposed to be dutch language if you want to use them :p
    It's for a dutch audience

    :

    Dutch <-> English

    Inhouds targetting <-> Contextual targetting
    Sitegericht <-> Directly on a website, ability to pick sites from a catalog
    Bezoekerskenmerken <-> Demografic targetting (age/sex/interest)
    Behavorial targetting <-> Behavorial targetting

    Maybe good to know "richten" means "targetting" in Dutch in case you would like to use that too.

    What I like about your design is the people you portraied as visitors.

    - Rick

    @BlueEyedGhost

    Thanks for your submission

    The logo included in the header is not what I'm looking for. Hence it's already present in the site I don't see why it should be in there again.
    I have a hard time reading the text you written on the right. That's why I prefer symbols rather than alot of text as they tend to keep the header simple and very clear.

    It looked like there wasn't enough room to put everything in there.
    If you think the height is too small enlarge it too max 120pixels.

    I really like your title style for "Resultaatgericht en doeltreffend adverteren".

    The symbols really need to be clear and I'm not sure what the red and black pyramides are for.

    This design is what I'm looking for.. I was just curious if the light blue would fit in the website.
    So I took the liberty to place it in my website screen shot.

    The red dialog boxes are great.. the font used there too, I don't like the red arrow on the left.
    Can you add text effects to the left side black text?
    Maybe bevel or shadow just to make it look a little bit more exciting.

    Also the language is wrong but I'm sure it can be changed on a later stage..

    Updated to match the site colors, I think a bit of blue should be fine, as that would appear as a distinctive area when you see the whole page

    More polished one, I have removed the organic curve at bottom and have a structered shape now, which goes better with the over all theme of the website

    Also in blue
