    Hi All!

    I am accepting entries for a website header. $10 to the winner.

    The website is about fly fishing rods so fly fishing/fly fishing rods/nature scenes would be good themes.

    The website name: Myflyfishingrod.com

    (this needs to be in the header)

    The Main colours of the site are going to be the two blues which you see in the menu on the left hand side. These could be a basis for your header.

    #003399
    #0099FF


    For the size of the header download the header image @:
    http://www.myflyfishingrod.com/

    • I like bright and happy images!
    • This has to be fun, but professional

    (this website is just a template so far!)

    Previous winning headers of my header competitions:

    http://www.parrottraining.info/
    http://thedeck.co.uk/

    (should give you an indication of style/quality)

    Good luck!!
    Notting

    Thanks for the entries. I want to give some feedback now.

    If you look at the header image you can see that it has a block to the left the width of the menu on the left hand side.

    This block needs to be kept in order to make the website look right:



    Example:

    Hi All,

    I shall post more general feedback as I do not feel anyone is quite hitting on what I am looking for yet. This my fault as I perhaps have not given a good enough brief/requirement.

    This site is aimed at 30-60 year old males. As a general rule they do not want to see cartoon style images on a serious information website. They like nature so want to see nature/streams/trees/fish etc.

    Hope this steers people in the right direction.

    Thanks
    Notting

    So...does that comment include my entry that it isnt what you are looking for? It is not cartoon and contains most of the stuff you ask for...

    If this isnt close to what you are looking for then Ill step out. If it is close and you can provide feedback to what needs changing let me know.

    Hi Guys,

    I shall give some feedback on the individual entries so far:

    ganz_syshacks
    I'm sorry but this is not really what I'm looking for for this site.

    djzmo
    Not bad. There is not enough imagery linked to fly fishing tough. This is not dolphine fishing - try a trout/salmon. This could be a header for any website

    mutanzgaming
    I like you design. The 'F' is nice. I am not keen on the cartoon boy though.

    ScarletWolfe
    I likw the background imagery. Not too keen on the text at the moment. Try making the text a bit more web 2.0. The fish on the text is not the right species - try a trout/salmon.

    MiNdfr34k
    I like the text on this design. However I am not keen on the cartoons. Make it more 'nature'.

    shandyisme
    I'm sorry but this is not really what I'm looking for for this site.

    Overall there are some nice designs. With a few tweaks I think there will be an entry that has everything I am looking for.

    Many thanks to everyone who has entered so far.

    Couldnt get a trout or salmon to look as good as the bass...tried something different...not sure if I like as much :( But for 15 dollars and no guarantees I cant afford to put anymore time into this design...
