$20 banner plus $6 for small version

    250*250 in size - $20 then a 125*125 for an extra $6 copying
    the original 250*250 but smaller. Winner of 250*250 will also get
    the $6 smaller banner.
    PSD file required once payment has been made. All rights to be
    transferred to me on payment in full.
    Text on own layer so it can be modified at a later stage
    web2.0 text can be used like reflective text etc, only if it
    keeps the image easy to read and well presented.
    No gif's please. Just a static banner.
    Nice clean vibrant colors.

    Text to be used:
    Transform Your CFD Trading Results
    CFD Strategy Turns $5,000 into $19,000
    Click Here

    Pictures to be used:
    Financial based pics are best. Money etc. I don't mind if you
    use istockphoto etc for photo's. Its a money based product
    so be creative around that theme.

    Please see other contest I ran with lots of positive feedback.
    I always give as much feedback as possible to assist those who
    are helping me as I appreciate everyone's efforts.

    Good Luck.

    P.S. We may be developing this into a stand alone page so we
    may need a website header down the track and the winner
    would be best positioned for this work.

    ZinniDoll - Nice strong image. Very clear writing which is what we are after. Call to action is good. Can the image be changed to a lady. If you have that image we'd like to see what that looks like.

    Techmafia - We like your effort. The border of the image needs to be highlighted as we would like it to stand out on a white background, not blend in. Can you change the order Now to Click Here. The image works well for what we want.

    Macgfx - nice effort. All looks good and the image used works well but can you change the green text on the green background? It just doesn't work or stand out in our mind.

    Ashiknasameen - Image works, Click here on left hand side doesn't flow with ad. CFD black text does not stand out and would need to be better highlighted.

    Chewysmom - Nice, clean image and overall button, perhaps a little too simple though. I like the simplicity but not sure if it would get click throughs.

    Ashiknasameen - Image is looking great. I don't think the text 'Transform your CFD trading Results' is clear. Because its squashed is appears a little hard to read. Can the sentence be split into 2 lines? The 2nd text and click here reflection work well (better than other one).

    Chewysmom - Whilst the change is subtle it does add value to the original design. What is the image went from left to right in that lower section. On the left would be a small pile of cash with an upward arching arrow to a larger pile of cash, creating the image of a small amount of money ($5,000) into a larger amount of money ($19,000).

    Chewysmom - Sort of what I was thinking. Definitely the chart needs to go from low to high, not up, down, down, then up. That doesn't look like a promising equity curve! If you have another cash picture like a smaller version of the left hand picture to that normal picture it would work well. Also can you make the 'CLICK HERE' more prominent. At the moment it looks a little 'washed out'.

    First of all let me say: Fantastic efforts and thanks for the fast replies. Very much appreciated.

    Techmafia - The rounded edges at the top seem to be pixelated and have lost their 'crispness'. I love the idea of the money on the click here section. That looks great. Also the text doesn't seem to flow the way its justified (CFD Strategy Turns $5,000 into $19,000). Can that be positioned more creatively. Perhaps step the $5,000 on the left then down and a bit to the right for 'into' and then down and to the right for $19,000?

    Chewysmom - Keep running with the 2nd images background as that stands out more. I couldn't quite work out why the image didn't look right and my only thought is that the 2 piles of cash are at different angles and the 2nd pile looks cramped. My thought would be to create the CFD Strategy text into a smaller box above teh small lot of cash and then run the larger pile of cash up the right hand side of the JPEG. To give yourself more room, remove the arrow up the top.

    Thanks again.
