$25 Header contest (via Paypal) for CostCutters101.com

Discussion in 'Design Contests' started by Kevin T Perry, Mar 9, 2009.

    Hello,

    I need a header designed for a Wordpress blog for CostCutters101.com

    I would like to go with a school theme, so I was thinking of a blackboard as the header background and the title and slogan written in chalk.

    The title should be "CostCutters101" and the slogan is "Get Educated in Cost Management!"

    The winning design will get $25 via paypal. I am going to limit the contest to 48 hours, but I reserve the right to choose a winner before the time has elapsed.

    Thanks and good luck!

    Kevin

    I have not chosen a blog template yet....just a standard size will do. The header before your post is a good size to judge by.

    Thanks,

    Kevin

    Thanks for your entry Anasone. I'm looking for something a bit more financial looking. Maybe a bigger blackboard to with a choppier font...and it's CostCutters101.com

    Looking forward to seeing a revision

    My trials

    Option - 1
    If you are looking with the borders

    [​IMG]

    Option - 2
    With black borders - little realistic but by the time holding blackboard theme
    [​IMG]

    Option - 3
    Modified the design again to make it fit and look better in a blog environment, Please see the expected menus with this header

    Thanks graphicband...I think you are definitely in the lead right now. I'm not entirely crazy about the graphic on the right. Could you show me a similar design with a different graphic?

    Thanks,

    Kevin

    I have chosen Olivess as the winner conditional on a few revisions that I have asked for. I will update you if I need to chose another design.

    Thanks to all those who entered.
