$10.00 Banner Contest!

    Hi there!

    I'm am currently in need of banner creation services - I require a nice banner for my website: IntellectToday.org.

    This banner does not need to fit in with the template of the site - this banner will be used for advertising on other sites.

    IntellectToday is a website focused on Science and Technology, Philosophy, and related subjects.

    Whoever can design the banner that, in my opinion, is the best will receive $10.00 compensation! Maybe even a bonus if it's really nice ;)

    Reply here with your submissions and PM me or post here if you have any questions.

    Thank you.

    Any of the following sizes are acceptable:
    468 x 60, 392 x 72, 234 x 60, 120 x 240, 160 x 600

    However, we prefer 468 x 60!

    I have reviewed the submissions thus far, and below provided a comment to each artist that submitted.

    I'm still looking for submissions - just to give me a nice selection to choose from. Artists may feel free to submit more than once!

    Please remember that this banner needs to carry a level of professionalism and should be "recent" - meaning a Web 2.0 feel. This banner will be used on a vast variety of sites - including popular sites such as Scientific American.

    Lunamaya - This is probably my favorite. It's very exciting, nicely done and very relevant to the site. However, it's quite large - could you make it smaller, and maintain the quality of the banner? Also, if I select your banner, you'll remove your name from the finished product, yes?

    CB - Sorry, but this isn't what we're looking for. There isn't anything wrong with it - it just isn't what we need.

    Compufreak - I like your submissions. The 3rd banner down, specifically. Could you use a green font instead of a yellow one? Keep the same earth network icon. Place a period after subjects. And perhaps use some brighter colors - and we'll see how it looks!

    Dancingintherain - Sorry, but this isn't what we're looking for. There isn't anything wrong with it - it just isn't what we need.

    Ritesh2408 - Sorry, but this isn't what we're looking for. It's just too plain and too outdated in its style.

    Semiperfectus - I love the background. Though, could you use a different image on the left, and perhaps make IntellectToday one word and a bit more apparent in the banner?

    Jmul7 - I don't wish to be mean, but is this a serious submission? You basically stole the banner on my site and just added more text.

    Kingsmart - I like the images you used, but I don't think the overall banner is fitting.

    Sigismond - Nicely done, but it's very plain.

    Jackieh1791 - This one is very nice, but could you replace the click here image with something else?

    TightWad - Nicely made. I like the transition from white to blue, but it seems very "old-school" and not very much like web 2.0.

    Thegfx - The first two submissions were very plain and didn't relate to IntellectToday. The third submission is a favorite of mine - something just doesn't feel right with it, though. Could you make it a little more...exciting?

    A4hire - I'm quite positive I've seen that exact same banner but with a different name and slogan somewhere else.

    Thank you for your submissions! Keep them coming! =]
