Discussion in 'Design Contests' started by DarrenC, Jan 16, 2008.

    Hello,
    I am looking for a few new header for my blog

    The current header is below:

    [​IMG]

    I'm looking for a web 2.0 look and include the main male character. (doesnt have to be attached to the luggage!)

    The colours need to go with the blog, and I'm happy for the current header background to be used or you can come up with your own design.

    The text should read: Travel Rants

    The image size must match that of the example.

    Payment via PayPal. Contest closes 20th or if I find a design I love.

    I want something that is going to make the reader things WOW! The current header used to get a lot of good comments, but it's time for something new.

    Dean, it's not what I'm looking for to be honest.

    Dave, It looks a bit dark, and not much to look at in the background.

    The design doesn't go with the man figure, and I'm not keen on the font.

    Only a few hours to go so I think I'm going to have to close this contest with no winner, unless someone comes up with something quickly.

    I already have made a vector of the cartoon guy:

    You can convert any image to vector and them convert it to any size without losing quality or pixelating.
