$30 Banner Design Contest - potentially multiple winners

For this site : http://tinyurl.com/ This site sells designer handbags and jewelry from hot emerging designers. These are designers that have generally been published and featured in specialized boutiques but are not easily obtainable online or outside of paris/ ny / london etc. The target market loves designer handbags and or jewelry and the hooks are that they can be the only one on the block with the item.. designer quality details.. great prices... portion of sales goes to charities.

I'm looking for a 720x300 ad - $30... I will accept at least one - but I might accept more than one.
and
468 x 60 ad $25 - good chance that I will accept more than one if i get some good submissions
and
125 x 125 - $15 - good chance that I will accept more than one if i get some good submissions

You can also submit the following formats for consideration
160 x 600 $25
234 x 60 - $15
120 x 60 - $10
88 x 31 - $10

The 720x300 ad should indicate that the site sells, designer handbags and designer jewelry
The rest of the ads can focus on designer handbags or designer jewelry or they can even focus on designer rings, designer earrings etc..

I will run this contest for two weeks; however, early entrants have an excellent chance of being chosen before the contest ends because I can put them to use immediately.

Thank you.

 

my first try

 

Here is the url again http://tinyurl.com/ . Moderators, please do not remove this url. It is clearly NOT an affiliate link. I own this site and am trying to conduct business (check my itrader.) I am using tinyurl because I don't want this contest to come up in search results for my business. This is standard practice. If you want to confirm that it is my site go to the about us page and call the number listed as techinical administration to speak to me in person.

Contest is still open. Please submit your your banners. This is an easy contest, because there will likely be more than one winner.

 

Thanks for the submission Lady_in_Red. I like the animation and it is fairly nice looking but I have the following criticism :

1 The header that you based your banner on was designed not to draw attention away from the products. I want the banner to do the opposite - draw attention to itself.
2 The text isn't very readable.
3 In this case I would change the text to something like PrivateDesigners.com | Designer Handbags and Jewelry | Support Emerging Designers and Select Charities

You don't have to use the site colours. The site is in need of a redesign.

 

I'll have some entries for you later tonight.

 

one attempt here:

 

my try


Feedback pls

 

I will try small ones
120 x 60

88 x 31

 

Ok here's another try

 

Hi. Here is my entry for the large banner. I didn't know if you wanted it animated or not, but if not, I can change it. Thanks for the contest, more entries from me to come...

 

CH is banned...I think the contest is closed

 

Really?? looks like a walmart ad. Just my personal opinion

 

I think this contest is closed already..
don't have to argued about it anymore..
the CH was banned..

 

I'm back. It was a 1 week ban for using tinyurl. Apparently, the moderator doesn't realize that all redirects are not affiliate links. This forum doesn't give you any recourse for getting invalid infractions or bannings. It's against the rules to even start a thread about it.

Anyway, the deadline is still December 17th. You can see the url for the site on some of the previous entries. Looking forward to seeing some more entries.

Remember that
a) the banner is not going to appear on my site - it is going to appear on other people's sites, so I would like to have some banners that are not red because it would clash with alot of sites.

b) you don't have to base the banner on the style on the site - like i said the site needs a redesign

I will comment on the current entries momentarily

 

can i post flash (.swf) banners.. they are good in aesthetics and small in size..

please reply..

 

Thanks to all of the entries so far - despite my being banned on the first day.

Hetzenaur : Not bad. I don't like the font.. and can you make the handbag pop more - perhaps by lightening or softening the left side?

enteens : Sorry to see that you were also banned. Throw me a pm when you get back. I think your entry would be a great addition to my roster. Can you do a couple of similar smaller versions too?

un!expected : I'm not crazy about the 120x60. But I'm leaning toward taking the 88x31 unless i get a couple of better entries in that size range.

Lady_in_red : Thats a bit better. I like the fade effect. The banner seems a little washed out. I don't know if it will attract clicks. I won't count it out, but I think that I am looking for something more magnetic.

 

thank you bro.. i will create one soon..

 

well that's how I imagine big banner:

 

Made the image..will post in the next post as is getting uploaded....1.48 MB..[:|]
