$50 - Need 770px by 140px Banner for Cutline Wordpress Theme

Discussion in 'Design Contests' started by Hammerfall, Oct 5, 2008.

    Hi all,

    This should be a quick and easy job. I need a customized banner image for my wordpress blog, which is running the Cutline theme.

    The name of the site is Writing for your Wealth, and I teach writers how to make money from their words.

    The banner doesn't need any text. I'm just looking for an image or collage of photos that combines the ideas of writing and making money.

    The size of the banner should be 770px wide by 140px high.

    Let me know if you need more direction (I'm pretty open to ideas--just want something that is customized for my site).

    Thanks for working on this!

    ~Lindsay

    Let's run the contest for four days.

    Ideally, I'd like to make payment via paypal, but if that doesn't work out for the winner, I'll figure out a way to get your money to you. :)

    Hi all,

    Thanks for the entries so far!

    I don't need the name of the site in the banner (it's in a header tag above the banner), so sorry I didn't make that clearer.

    Jharrvis' entry is definitely along the lines of what I'm looking for. I wouldn't want to see "istockphoto" in the final though. ;) Maybe replace the woman with a picture of writers' journal or some such?

    Thanks all. I'd love to see more!

    Hi. Just to clarify something. The width of the image that's currently on your site is 970px. Did you want it that size, or 770px like you said? Just want to make sure :)

    Eep. I should have actually measured instead of just looking up the Cutline theme info online. They must have been talking about the dimensions for the two-column layout or some such. Thanks for the heads up.

    So, yes, for those who read this far and haven't started yet, please make the banner 970 x 140 in size.

    Sorry about the confusion! Don't worry about changing it if you've already entered. I'll just see if you're willing to do that if I pick your design and am paying. :)

    And thanks to all who have posted entries. Jharrvis, thanks for the update. I really like that. Also, I like the top entry from CottonStella a lot. I'm definitely drawn most to the banners where the images are blended together a bit.

    Thanks everyone!
