Here is my attempt at banner 2.

**MrNova** · 08-21-2010, 07:47 AM

Any updates?

**Gashu** · 08-23-2010, 06:21 PM

Yeah I'd really like to see some comments from the CH.

Hello everyone,

I'm very sorry about the late reply. I haven't been receiving all of the notifications to this thread for some reason. I should have checked to see if there was any replies.

I made a mistake on my late reply. I am still after banner 2 which is the support banner and banner 5 which is the affiliate program banner. I have this image which will be perfect for the affiliate program banner:

I really like the idea of your banner. The left image works perfectly but the rest seems a bit too basic. I would also like to avoid using a white background for the image as it will be used on a white background. If you can change the background to something more prominent and spice it up a bit that will be fantastic.

I like what you have done with the image on the right but unfortunately I'm not keep on using servers at all for that banner. I really like your silhouette people images on the left but think they are a bit too small. I also think the text is too small and needs to be the main focus of the banner. If you can swap the white background, make the people much bigger and play around with the text that would be great.

Both of your banners are very nice in different ways. I really like the image of the woman and the silhouette images so it's a hard choice to make as far as style goes. It will all depend on the changes.

Thanks.
Jack

thanks for the feedback, heres my 2nd try

**zomex** · 08-24-2010, 12:14 PM

Hello,

That's much better than before but I still think it's a bit too basic. It's really hard to think of suggestions too. I like the idea of one background rather than having it broken up into 2 sections.

Thanks,
Jack

**MrNova** · 08-24-2010, 01:48 PM

Well thanks for the feedback again, heres what I put together...

**MrNova** · 08-24-2010, 01:51 PM

Also, I could be mistaken, but I don't think you posted any info on a banner number 5? On your original post you were asking for only 4 banners.

- Is banner number 5 the same size as the others?
- Some insight to what type of information you would like to see on banner 5.

Thanks.

**Gashu** · 08-25-2010, 08:10 AM

I'll edit my entry and post it later today.

Hello,

Sorry for being confusing. That's correct banner 5 is exactly the same size as the others. I decided to add that banner half way through the thread. Banner 5 is going to be advertising our affiliate program. A couple of points about our requirements:

- I would like the banner to include an image of a woman holding money. I took the time out to purchase a stock photo for this which you can use here:

http://www.zomex.com/money.jpg

- It needs to emphasize recurring commissions. We offer 20% recurring commissions to affiliates who sell any of our web hosting plans through their link. I believe this is much higher than the majority of web hosting affiliate programs so I wish to make this clear on the homepage (where the banner will be).

- Our affiliate program also pays out a one time commission to affiliates who reffer us web design, logo design and business card design clients. So this also sets our program above many others.

As far as the design goes that's completely up to you. One thing I don't like is a solid white background as the banners will go on a white background.

1) Shared web hosting banner

Completed: http://www.zomex.com/images/banners/slide4.jpg

2) Support banner

Needed

3) Infrastructure banner

Completed: http://www.zomex.com/images/banners/slide1.jpg

4) cPanel banner

Completed: http://www.zomex.com/images/banners/slide2.jpg

5) Affiliate banner

Thanks very much and I look forward to both of your submissions!

Regards,
Jack

Thanks for the info.

Can I get feedback on my most recent design?

Opps sorry I didn't notice your latest banner. The love the left image and the background. This is very close to what I'm after for that banner. Would you be able to remove the screenshot of my site to make room for larger text? Here is the text I would like (in your style):

24/7 Live Support

- Email

- Support Tickets

- Support Forum

- Live Chat

If I accept your banner will you provide the PSD file?

Thanks,
Jack

**MrNova** · 08-25-2010, 10:53 AM

Okay thanks, I will get working on that now, and yes I will send you a psd file.

**MrNova** · 08-25-2010, 11:14 AM

**MrNova** · 08-25-2010, 11:49 AM

Heres my attempt at banner 5

**zomex** · 08-25-2010, 12:32 PM

Hello Mr Nova,

You have officially won the prize for both banners. However, I will need just a couple of changes made.

Well for the support banner I think I can make the changes. May I ask which fonts have been used to make sure I have them?

affiliate program

I love what you have done with both of the images on the left. I think it's a bit too busy with both images. Do both images have a separate layer on the PSD file? If so I will be able to experiment and see which one works.

Lastly what text have you used for that banner?

Would you be able to remove the large money image behind the banner so I can see what it looks like?

Thanks!
Jack

**MrNova** · 01:28 PM

Hello Zomex,

I used Arial for both banners.

Yes, both images are on a separate layer, pretty much everything you see is on its own layer.

Thanks for choosing my designs, do you only want the psd files or do you want it an others as well?

Here is the banner without the money background
