Here is a link to the site: www (dot) holdemhumor (dot) com . I want to keep the black background theme, left menu, white middle area as well as the right collumn color but I dont like the top banner look. . I think using red is good and I think a .gif with a joker, if done right, would be good. Anyone out there have some suggestions. If the artwork was good enough I would consider paying for spec work for the joker or entire top banner look. And of course a link if desired. Thank You
Where you want have joker character? In the center where presently you have sequence of cards? Are you looking for joker similar to Play cards joker or any type of clowns? Joker static or animated? Some kind of animated laugh to joker face may add more charm to header part. If this doubts are cleared Iam going to design your header part only. I suggest go for flash animation.
In the Top banner I basically want a submit button somewhere, the title of the website (Hold'em Humor) with the words " Online Poker Jokes - Poker Joke contest" (regular text) under it. Like I mentioned before I think the color red could work. I have alot of flash/animated gifs on the site already and worry that if the top banner has to much of that, it might turn people away- but use your judgment. The middle area of the current top banner that has the cards in it would be perfect for a joker. One thing I dont like about the current look is the black areas in the top banner. I think that because the background is black, it looks wrong. That is one of the reasons I want to redo the whole thing. Where you want have joker character? I think that the center would be the best part for the Joker. Are you looking for joker similar to Play cards joker or any type of clowns? I definetly think the playing cards jokers would be better. Joker static or animated? Some kind of animated laugh to joker face may add more charm to header part. Use you judgement on this question. Depense on the artwork. Feel free to PM me or post back with more questions if you have them and I look forward to seeing what you come up with. Thank You
