$50 COMPETITION: Need new website banner / promotional section designed

Discussion in 'Design Contests' started by carnid, Aug 27, 2009.

  1. #1
    Please see my website http://www.nidating.com - NIDating. I am looking to replace the existing promotional banner / section of the homepage - see the screen shot yellow highlight. The new one should fit the same dimensions / size, be catchy and professional looking along with some form of Join link. Please make your postings here, I hope to choose a new section box as soon as possible.

    I am leaving the creativity up to you, whether you choose HTML or Flash or other suitable technology it is up to you. Prize can only be paid with Paypal - so enter accordingly.

    Winner will be paid for the artwork in a suitable web and source / psd or vector (editable) format & provide me with full rights.

    I like it, but feel free to change it up a bit - the text isn't in stone, it is just something I had put there. Think of this as a blank box ready for something new -- and while you can feel free to use info, text, etc. already in the site, I am really looking for something fresh. I look forward to seeing the entries come in.

    Thanks for the contest. I was in a hurry so used the same text, but anything can be changed.

    I really like both of these, the only concern I have is the photo location - since this is a local site it would need to be a local photo or one where you can't tell it is outside Northern Ireland. Other than that, I like the layout.

    I like this layout, is still a bit text heavy as with the current section but it is also catchy with the join link.

    Thanks for the feedback. I'll try to trim the text down a bit and post another entry later.

    Thanks for your entry, however I think I am not sure if this animation would fit well with the current site look and feel.

    Why is it that the higher the price, the less people enter? This is so weird. I will submit a design before the 48 hours is up.

    And here is an animated version. Not too much movement, but enough to catch the eye:

    I like this design and the animation. The only thing I may change would be toning down the amount of green in the box. Other than that it looks great.

    Keep the entries coming, contest ends tomorrow!
