I am looking for a new header for my food blog at Hochiak! Delicious Asian Food (http://deliciousasianfood.com) The header should incorporate the following:- Title : Hochiak! Delicious Asian Food Tagline : Recipes for home-cooked food and reviews of Malaysian food Width must be 910px. I am thinking of reducing the height from the current 200px to something lesser so that my page contents can be brought further up the fold. Please go through the site for food pictures and blend them into the header. I need a professional looking header. Contest runs through until I get the one header which I like best. Payment by paypal. Updated: Please ensure that the colour scheme of the header would blend with the colours of the site.
Raymondgill08 - Thanks for the banner. Please follow the requirements - to incorporate the tagline, minimal width and food pictures from site. I don't quite like the woman. Looks kinda tacky
RNHalawi : Thanks for your submission. Size looks good but the header is kind of crammy with too many things up there. Perhaps u might want to see http://becksposhnosh.blogspot.com/ or http://rasamalaysia for inspiration. I prefer a more simplistic look and professional font.
My thoughts so far:- RNHalawi : Of your two submissions, I prefer the one in black. The title looks good and grabs the attention of a reader. I would prefer a brighter colour as the current red colour is a little too dark. On the tagline, are there any other suitable fonts? On the photos, are they interchangeable with a list of other photos so that the photos on the header remain fresh whenever the page is loaded? xaralee : I like your concept and the basket which fades in. The title grabs attention but the tagline and photos below jostle for similar attention. Can the photos be reduced or removed?
mate, thanks for the feedback,.,, here is my revision... regarding the interchangeable with a list of other photos.. 'YES' I can do that... I can interchange the photos every 1 minute or something.. thanks!
RaymondGill : I must thank you for your efforts. Unfortunately, I don't quite like the design as it is a bit chaotic with different fonts being used and its placement. Hope you don't mind my feedback. As indicated in #6 above, u can get some inspiration from the two websites on my preference for simplicity. Do try again if you are interested. Callistas : Thank you for your submission. To be honest, the blending of the photos looks nice but it makes the whole header too "loud". At one glance, I notice the tagline but the title is obscured by the photos. I would also prefer a more professional looking font for the header.
RNHalawi : That's a better looking tagline and I will keep that new font for the title and tagline. How would the title look like with blue colour (so as to fit with the tabs and links on the site)? Have a look at the header in http://citymama.typepad.com/cityfood/ . Can the photos be placed in similar fashion? By the way, I don't want the photos to change every minute or so. I only want it to change when the whole page reloads.
So far, RNHalawi's submission #15 looks good for me. I have not made my final decision yet and am still open to further submissions. If you think you can do better, please submit. Thanks!
