Hi, Are you after a flash banner or a gif banner? Also, do you have a high res copy of your company logo? Regards, Tom
Hi Tom, I need a flash banner with fade in-fade out text, or typing text animation (or both), saved in gif.
Hi firentire, Okay, that's great. I'm hopeless with Flash, but gif images are well within my capability. Not to worry, thanks for letting me know, it shouldn't be a problem if the largest banner you want is 300*250. May I ask, are you still interested in other entries? Or have you had one which you are keen on? Regards, Tom
I've nearly finished the first banner, I'll drop you a PM when I do. To be perfectly honest with you, I don't think you'll get many entries with the price that you're offering. Previously, I've been paid over 6x what you're offering for just the one image, and it wasn't animated.
With all do respect, i'm not forcing anybody. I can do them by myself...i'm pretty good. To be honest, i thought that somebody can add more style to the banners. The price is not high, but i cannot allocate more. Unfortunately, i'm pretty busy and i cannot spend a day for making a full set of banners by myself.
Oh, I know Not to worry, I'm not complaining, money is money, but I just thought you ought to know that. I know it needs a bit of refining (especially with the timing), but how's this? http://dl.dropbox.com/u/16537616/DigitalPoint Work/LinkAlone/300x250-Banner.gif I've changed "256 Dedicated RAM" to "256 MB Dedicated RAM" to follow the style of the other server specs. I'm yet to add the "Deploy Now!" text to it. I've made this double the size just as a preview version. Tom Edit: It didn't like my gif embed, so a link will have to do.
Tom, Your animation is good, but i'm not sure you understand that I need 3 banners will the following sizes : 300x250 728x90 125x125 Your banner is much bigger. For your convenience i will show you an example made by myself. Unfortunately i don't have time to make more. http://www.linkalone.com/banners/linkalone_vps_728X90.gif
Hello firentire, I always work in double the resolution, then I scale it down at the end - it prevents aliasing on the edges. That one I did was 600*500, or double the size of the 300*250 one you requested. I've only had time to do the one for now, I'll try and do the others tomorrow Tom
Tom, I'm apologize, but you are far from my ideas. You can take my banner as example. Features have to appear on block. With all do respect, but that is only a print screen of our packages with some animation on it. That will not do.
