$15 - Simple header

    Hi,

    This is my first time creating a contest, so let me know if I dont give all the required info.

    This banner is for my site that is not up and running at the moment, but it is a gpt script that is similar to this site: http://www.rocketbills.com/index.php

    I need the size to be about the same size as the header on the site mentioned above (only the blue background part).

    I want this pic of santa on the left hand side: [​IMG]

    I want my domain name, SantasGiftsAllYear.com, to be exactly like this: [​IMG]. It doesnt have to have that blue background, of course.

    Then, on the right hand side of the banner, I want an assortment of presents, ranging in size and in color. Possible colors could be red, green, silver, or a polka dot combination. Whatever you think looks good.

    Then, the last thing is a background. You are free to think of that on your own.

    Also, feel free to move the presents, the santa pic, or my domain in any position you want, I was only giving suggestions above.

    I will pick a winner within 2 days, unless I dont see one I like, but I might pick one shorter if I see one I like. I will be back to check in about 8 hrs (cause I will be gone), but I will give feedback on all entries so you know what im looking for.

    I will pay $15 to the winner via paypal.

    Good luck!

    Wow, these are some really good banners. Here is my feedback:

    Maor: Good clean, clear design, but i dont like the stockings, I would rather see presents with ribbons. And I want the domain name to stick out more. You should use the domain pic I posted.

    Mimico: Thats a good size for santa and I like that you have a creative background, but I would want the domain name on the top. And I am not a big fan of those presents. Some kind of look 2-D.

    Mirceaxp: I like the idea, but it might be too crowded or conjested. I would rather that the santa be bigger. Have the santa go from the top to bottom. And having the background being inside with the window, I think is what makes it too conjested. I want the domain name to stick out more. So just have the domain name and the santa be the focus of the banner, then have presents somewhere in there and you should be good.

    Neilparnham: Right now, I like yours the best. But there are a few changes I want. I want the santa to be bigger, have him go from the top of the banner to the bottom. Also, if you could use the domain label I gave you, with the reindeer pulling the domain, I think that would look really cool. Also, add some more presents in there with bows and make them fancy, and make the presents have darker colors. I do like the slogan you put under the domain.

    Keep it up, I kind of like what each of you are doing, just tweak them up a bit.

    If more people join in on this contest, the pics I show up in the original thread show a red "X", but just click on it anyways and it will show my pics.

    Ill give more feedback when I return

    Dimitri123 - I like the design, but make the domain image smaller so that santa can go from the top to the bottom of the banner. And then throw in a few more presents

    Amr - I like the size of the santa and the border of the banner, but I would like to see more presents scattered on the bottom middle portion of the banner, then have the domain at the top. Maybe have the domain I showed in my first post, and have it flying through the air. If you make the snow a little more realistic looking, the presents would look really cool on it.

    Keep posting!
