I need the following banner sizes:
728X90
468X60
160X600
300X250

You can use the same design style for multiple sizes.

The winner will have to do a few more additional sizes, whomsoever chosen.

I will choose 3 winners.

1st Place: $50
2nd Place: $20
3rd Place: $10

Please be as creative as possible.

EDIT: Forgot to add, some elements I would like to see in the banner but not necessary. Mention about our "Personalised service, every member is considered equal and taken care of equally", "website is 100% free to register and use"

 

Good Luck, chister. Hope to see good designs here.

 

Are you sure you need 728x60. This size will rock in the market.

SAM

 

Payment will be made via paypal.

I would require the banner in all the 4 sizes I mentioned in my first post. I will pay the winner extra for additional sizes that I may need apart from the 4 sizes. Winners will be chosen based on all 4 designs, u can use the same design style for different sizes.

The sizes that I give most priority to is 728X90 and 468X60, so try to work on those more.

Here is a entry sent to me via PM by redeemer. I think all entries should be out in the open for every one to see:



Feedback to follow in a bit.

 

Here is my feedback:

@Hazrd: Looks pretty simple, try to add some more bling to it (I mean not to flashy) but some more curves, colors. Some more text animation. I like the picture you chose.

@Technoguy: Like your banners, you need to choose better pictures. Feel free to use stock images, if I end up choosing your designs, I will pay for the images. Need some better looking couples. The girls look too "model like". You need to choose girls that a common guy would think, he has a chance with getting married too. 'Smile' is important when choosing pictures.

Justcoolsam: Very nice design. My favourite so far. I like the couple picture and the use of color contrast to make important part of the banner stand out more. My favorite design so far. I want to see some other sizes from you. Also try some variations of color schemes, try darker backgrounds and try adding a few more colors.

@redeemer: Again too simple, not fond of the font used. Also think the model used is too "model like". Looks like a bollywood actress.

 

Here is my entry for 468 * 60 size Banners

Hi, here is my first entry. Looking forward to the feedback.

cheers

 

@Justcoolsam: As for 468X60, can you try some more color variations and try to add more personality to the banner, looks to simple. Think outside the box. As for the other two, I am not digging the pink and purple. Can you try working with reds, browns, yellow, green, cream colors. I feel the pink can look better if used little to give texture , etc.

@Technoguy: I like your new banners. Can you try more color combinations and variations. Currently you are in first place.

@Craftiness: Your design needs more color and some character. I like the pic.

 

Thanks for appreciating
Here are color variation





Kind Regards
