$25 6 HOUR Header Contest - Real Simple!

Discussion in 'Design Contests' started by tvanslooten, Sep 3, 2008.

  1. #1
    I will pick a winner by 10 p.m. Central tonight. I'm not going to be too picky on this so if you want to make a quick $25, join the contest!

    Specs:

    Header needs to be 770 x 90

    The name "Just Watch This" should be in the header (the name of the site)

    The site provides VIDEO tutorials and product reviews. That being the case, the header should incorporate something to reflect that.

    Colors? No color scheme set at this point so anything goes except for yellow, orange, and pink.

    The winner will be paid immediately via PayPal.

    Thanks!

    Travis

    Hmmm...here is my feedback so far...we still have a couple hours on this one...

    Steve136 - Not sure I like the city landscape in the background (unless that's your watermark or something). The header seems like it's a little off balanced - the right side is a little empty. Maybe move the subtitle over to the right side. I'd capitalize the first letter for each word in the subtitle: Product Reviews and Video Tutorials.

    Seni - I kind of like the general concept but something is missing. Can't put my finger on it. Maybe it's the two video screens on the right that say, "Buffering." Maybe if there was just one video player with "something" instead of just the words, "Buffering." I'd also put the subtitle in the header too and make the font more interesting for, "Just Watch This." By the way, my favorite of your concepts is the first one.

    a4hire - I like this too but the right side is missing something...not sure what. The header just looks way off balanced. I would stick with the subtitle the others are using: Product Reviews and Video Tutorials.

    This is my feedback so far. I didn't like the other entries...sorry.

    Thanks,

    Travis

    Thanks for the feedback. It did look out of balance. Thought I would try the slogan on the right to balance it out.

    Bruce:

    I like your's the best so far. If you're still monitoring this, what about making these changes...

    Could you put an image of a camera (like Steve136 did) in front of the words, "Just Watch This" and then maybe move the reel image you're using closer to the subtitle on the right side of the header? So that maybe the reel thing "wraps" the left side of the subtitle:
    <reel image>Product Reviews
    <reel image>and Video Tutorials

    I think this will nail it!

    Seni:

    A very close second (and perhaps the winner if Bruce doesn't submit the changes I'm requesting above). I'm still not hot about the fonts used. I like the more straight forward "boxed" fonts that Bruce and Steve136 are using. The subtitle is also backwards (should read: Product Reviews and Video Tutorials) and is too overbearing. It should be a smaller size text and not so "loud."

    Thanks,

    Travis

    I'd like to pick the winner tonight so that I can start working on my site first thing tomorrow morning. So I guess you could say I need it soon:D

    Thanks,

    Travis
