Hello graphic geniuses! I need a matching header and logo for one of my sites. $50 prize (via Paypal) for the best design. The site: http://www.iwantateachingjob.com Banner size: About 740 x 120 pixels Logo size: About 200 x 200 pixels. Product: An eBook about how to get a teaching job Theme: Something that has to do with teaching. Maybe a chalkboard design. The words, "Guide to Getting the Teaching Job of Your Dreams" should be clearly visible. The web address (www.iwantateachingjob.com) can be included in smaller letters if you want. What I'm going for: Something FUN and slightly EDGY -- not too serious and stuffy. Looking for a graphical design/logo with more than just text. The logo should STAND OUT and be MEMORABLE to my customers. Cartoon-ish or drawn or Web 2.0-style images are preferred over photographic images. Color scheme: I don't care. I can change the scheme of the page to match the graphics. Green is my favorite color-- but I am open to whatever you come up with. Use your imagination. Have fun with this one. Feel free to ask questions if anything is confusing. This is my second contest -- I was super-impressed with the submissions from my first competition. Looking forward to seeing what everyone comes up with. Contest ends Monday night around 8pm eastern time. If I don't see what I'm looking for by then, I may extend or cancel the contest. Only the winning designs will be used on the website. Feel free to post your images in this thread for all to see. Or, if you prefer, PM them to me. Thanks for entering.... GOOD LUCK!!! - FB So............. Who's in?
ZoharBlur-- It's a good design, but I'd really like the title of the book, "Guide to Getting a Teaching Job" featured in the logo. Thanks! - FB
Wow... great submissions so far..... Sanma -- the planned end date is Monday (tomorrow) at 8pm. I may extend the contest, if necessary. Darklord -- Looking forward to your entry. Thanks. Weblazer -- I love it. Very professional. The colors, font, and design are all great. No suggestions at this time. This one is a definite possibility. ZoharBlur -- Thanks for including the title of the book. I do like your design very much, but I'm not sure it has the professional punch that some of the others do. DannieGB123 -- I like the chalkboard thing... and I like the little traces of chalkmarks... but I think the font is a little too fancy for chalkboard writing. Sairos-- I love this design as well. It is very professional and fits into the site's design (Thanks for the site preview). I love the "teacher" sash on the guy-- it makes me laugh. The green-and-gold color scheme is bold and really suits the site design. A couple thoughts to tweak it: a) I'd prefer a lower-case i on "iwantateachingjob.com" b) Can "How to get a teaching job?" be changed to "How do I get a teaching job?" (for grammar sake...) But overall, your design is excellent. Yours is also a definite possibility as well. Seller - Excellent submission. You have the most professional design. I like the angle of the chalkboard too-- I bet that wasn't easy to do. And I like your ideas for the page-- I am certainly open to changing the colors and design scheme. The only negative is that it lacks the fun and whimsy I was hoping for. Still, a very strong design worth considering. Thanks to all who have submitted entries so far. You guys rock! Keep 'em coming!!
Shibligd -- I love the colors & the chalkboard. Great design. It should read "Guide to Getting the Teaching Job of Your Dreams"...but I get the jist of the design. Nice work. Sairos -- Absolutely marvelous!!
Thanks Shibligd! I've got some high-quality entries. If anyone else wants a shot at the $50 prive, feel free to submit your entries before 8pm eastern time tomorrow (Monday). - FB
