$50 Graphical image for PDF file background

The brief:

Good quality, fun looking image that portrays safe travel this summer.
The image will be the background to a PDF guide, so has to have space for me to put text.

It has to be vibrant, and funky, trendy looking.

At this stage I am not bothered about the size of the graphic, but remember this will be the background for a PDF file, but I do not want it to take up the whole page, maybe A5 size, but I will leave that open to create a design that would suit.

Tagline somewhere: Be safe this summer with Travel Rants

I’m using Adobe In design to add the text, and the background will be used on both pages.

I’m going to leave the contest open for 72 hours, but if I see a design that blows my socks off before that deadline then I will close the contest early.

Payment

Payment of $50 will be made via PayPal and iTrader will be provided to the winning design and designs that I think are worthy.

Let the creative juices flow, and let me know if you have any questions.

There's my entry.

 

Skullborg

Could you take out the beach umbrellas, they look a little odd.

Not sure about the skyscrapers neither.

 

Everything else looks fine? Maybe I should make it a lil less transparent.. Im winning so far?

 

Here's what I've done. I'll try to make another one later on if the contest is still open.

Sorry Mimco, it's not what I am looking for at all.

Really disappointed with the lack of submissions, usually I've had great responses to contests.

Any suggestions for getting more people involved.

 

That's too bad. Did you like Skullborg's better? If you try to be more specific I'll try to make another design for you.

ASM Design is the nearest to what I am looking for.

Could you change the pink colour and try some different graphics

The graphics used so far though are too clunky, don't forget people are going to read this, so I don't want them distracted by the wild graphics.

 

Hey Darren! I'll try this one again pls wait for my second try.

 

This is my second try. Basically the same design schemes in different colors. I can add a background color either solid or gradient as well if you want.

 

Okay this is my last attempt for the day.. I really don't know what you're looking for hopefully you find my designs more appealing now. =)

 

I'm sorry thank you so much for trying but none of the designs are what I am looking for.

I'll keep this competition open until Sunday, in the hope that someone creates something that catches my attention.

 

Sorry forum limits me to 4 images so I have also included links to other images I made. I will give you all of them if I win, possibly to use for future projects. I can re-arrange objects, graphics and change colors to your liking. Hope I win!
