    Hi there, I'm looking for a background for my sidebox headers. At the moment I have something I created myself but it doesn't look as professional as I'd like.

    see the backgrounds for the sidebox heading I have currently here: http://www.bigmenslargeclothes.co.uk/Mockup2.html

    I want something similar, ie a metal plate with a couple of screws in it, but I want it to look much more professional than the one I was able to come up with. Perhaps the metal would have some texture and the screws would look more like screws etc etc...

    Please note it's just the background I'm after, you don't need to put the text on there. Also I'd like the winner to be able to supply me with a scaleable photoshop file as I might want to play around with the size of it.

    good luck everyone - here's hoping I'll be paying a winner for their work soon!

    Not bad Dante but it would need to be on a white background, also it's not really the right shape for my sidebox headers

    just to be sure: you're looking for a metal background for the sidebar/navigation?

    also, is there any kind of metal you would prefer? (brushed) steel/aluminum or rather something like brass...?

    these are all quite good but could we have a lighter colour of metal, these are all quite dark and gloomey, it's for a clothes website, at the moment these might look more at home on some sort of industrial site, or heavy metal or video game or something. Also they will end up with some text on them and it has to be readable, some of the above (look good but) the gradients in them make it hard to find a text colour that looks good in the light bit and the dark bits.

    thanks for all the effort so far.
