    Searching for creative minds!

    ... to design a classy, stylish, eye catching, while not annoying 468x60 flash animated banner. I won't tie your hands with any requirements or must do's. The right person will be sticking out of the crowd instantly.

    You'll be creating a banner for website in my signature - online photography courses. The winner will get a chance to work on more banners over the period of next 6 months.


    I reserve the right to end the contest without selecting the winner.

    Thank you!

    I'd prefer swf but good animated gifs will be considered as well.

    It seems we need to put a couple of Don't-s here to avoid repetition:

    - please do not use website graphics like the top header in the banner, be more inventive.
    - no sounds

    Thank you

    The size has been specified: 468x60. If you mean size in kilobytes then it shouldn't exceed 100kb.

    I'm entering.
    Should it contain interactivity like animated 'replay' and 'click here' buttons? Should it stop at the end? Should it loop?

    thank you.

    This is a template of what I'll be making, but I'd like your feedback first.
    I worked with a simple gradient as background, and a kind of default font. If you don't like it, please specify an alternative. Also, Maybe you think it's too fast, or too slow, please say that. :p
    and if you think these background colors aren't good, please tell me some other colors I could use.

    (Scaled-up, but in the right proportions:)
    http://cas.vancooten.com/flash/photography.swf << It's only 10KB :D

    Feedback appreciated :D

    Anything is possible if the idea is unique and creative. I'd stay away from "Click here" expression but there could be a button to press.

    Don't worry about the tag line at this stage, the design is what I'm looking for. Sure you can come up with your own tag line if you wish. Whatever you think can win you this contest.



    Still looking for your input, not too impressed with the current designs. Thanks to all contestants who contributed so far. The fact that the banner should be in Flash does not mean that it has to be blinking and flashing and change colors all at once. The reason I like Flash animation is because it's smooth and can be customized better than GIF.
