    Banner/Header needed for an upcoming Blog. The size is 960 X 146 with the Main Text of "All-Inclusive Vacations Reviews & News" with a subtitle of "Caribbean & Mexico Resorts". Both should be shown without the quotes.

    I'm looking for sharp and easy to read text. I want a background with an image of a tropical beach with palm trees and clear, very blue water.

    Contest Ends June 15th at 12PM Pacific Time. . Winner will be paid promptly $30.00 via PayPal.

    Need the graphic in .PSD format.

    Any questions, feel free to ask. Feedback gladly given.

    truswaggmedia: Looking for a little more of the palm trees. I guess my top text line is pretty long. Would it make any sense to drop "Review & News" to a second line? Overall, the design looks a bit too plain to me.

    voltage777: Looks good. I would like to see a palm tree or two in the image. The beach chairs and umbrella do give it a nice look. Not sure if you would have any room to add and it might be too busy. Your thoughts?

    Although a few palm trees here and there (preferably 2?) would be nice, it would be a bit busy on the eyes because of the main umbrella + beach chairs.

    Voltage777: No, I would leave the background alone. I agree it would look too busy and distract from the overall graphic. Thank you for your feedback!

    NeT-SoFT: Very close to what I'm looking for. Nice work!

    To ALL designers - Design UPDATE: I think I listed too many words for a banner/header of this size. I think if we used just this as the tagline it would look much better "Caribbean & Mexico Resorts"

    Changed it so the Caribbean & Mexico Resorts wouldn't be so... squashed.

    NeT-SoFT: I do like your updated entry. The shorter text and the addition of the palm make it more of a Caribbean feel.

    technoguy: The images don't seem to flow together. The colors are not the same. The text portion looks very good.

    technoguy: I like the bottom entry on post 13. You have added all of the elements I requested. I have edited the contest just a bit. The subtitle should now read - "Caribbean & Mexico Resorts" Thank you.
