    This contest is for www.breakdanceclass.com.

    We're looking for 3 banners and an enroll button for the site.

    First Banner: Goes where the current flashing Enroll Now button is. Should take up the entire middle column width wise. Should have an action shot of the guy in the video (any image online of him would be okay too or take a screenshot) and the banner should say "2 Online Breakdancing Classes - $29.99" Optionally, have $39.99 Crossed Out.

    Second Banner: Goes on the left where it currently says "Breakdance Basics". Width should be the same and height about 2-3 of those boxes. This one should say: "Start Breakdancing Course Now" with whatever image of your choice underneath.

    Third Banner: Goes on the right hand side beneath "Course Navigation". Should say "Enroll Today! Only $29.99", again with image of your choice.

    Enroll Button: The current small "Enroll Today" button will be replaced. Maybe like an orange "Enroll Today! $29.99" or something. Make up your own text and size and see how it looks. Make it visible though :)

    Thanks for all the submissions in advance!

    Could you give exact sizes please? And a screenshot of the guy in the vid would look horrible...

    I've done the middle and left banner. If you like what I've done I'll do the right one too.

    Cool, thanks! Btw, for the middle one, would it be possible to have the guy be in a slightly different position than the one in the header banner? hehe

    Oh, also need a nice big enroll button to replace the tiny "Enroll Today" ones.

    Can do.

    I also do flash banners. Do you want anything animated?

    Yeah! The Enroll Now button seems like a good candidate for some animation :)

    Actually for the button on the left, let's make the text "Start Break Dancing Now!" instead of "Start Break Dancing Course Now!" hehe!

    Cool, the flashing button looks great! Since we're going to make it part of the blue box, can we make it smaller so that it fits? (see how it looks currently on the website)

    Hmmm also, can the right banner look different from the left one somewhat?

    Thanks!! Great job!! :)

    Maybe the bottom banner can say "Enroll Now!" instead of "Enroll Today". Oh, it's also $29.99 hehe :)

    Can do all that.

    Will get to it tonight my time. Do you want the right banner totally different or just a different picture?

    Roughly how big do you want the flash button? It doesn't seem to show up when I view the website. The banners look good on the site though.

    Sorry about the $29.95 mix-up. I'll fix that on all banners tonight too.

    Hmmmm.. would prefer totally different for the right banner if possible, so that the user would be less likely to ignore it.

    Whoops, sorry bout that, the button should be visible now! :)

    Oh, probably also don't need to mention the price on the right banner :)

    That is one awesome right side ad hehe! Hmm just a few more slight things hehe:

    1) That one is amazing for the "Start Breakdancing Now" ad hehe, although the text for both left & right are the same now. Hmmmm.. not too sure what the left banner text should be now hehe, let's try "Learn To Breakdance Today!"

    2) Hmm.. don't seem to be able to make a link for that flash button (although it looks amazing hehe) and maybe some of our visitors may not have flash. Can we make that an animated gif instead?

    3) Oh also for the enroll button, didn't realize that we had a full sized one near the top, so can we have the same button with both sizes?

    Thanks a lot!

    Just let us know your paypal after these fixes.

    This has been an aamzingly great job! :)

    I noticed originally that you had a roll over button for your enroll button. What I have done is create two states of the enroll button so you can create your roll over effect. The buttons are the bigger size but you can make it smaller without losing quality.

    Original state

    Here is the new left button. "Learn to breakdance today" didn't look very good, so I just said "Learn breakdancing today". Looks much better.

    Let me know how you go.
