BanHomework.org

So you already know the name of the site, if you look below in the little box, you will find more information - I am not really fussed on the color scheme, just as long as it doesn't contrast the site design, have a look if you need to. I would like to see it kind of cartoony logo-wise, but not the font, so something still quite smart. Of course whatever image(s) you use in the banner will need to have something to do with either homework or school/students.

What I don't want to see is a picture of something with a big cross through it (taking the word and putting it in image form), I think it should just remain as professional as possible. I also don't want to see it anything like it is now... red just doesn't work and I don't need the text 'BanHomework' stuck in the middle of the image in that font, but I know you'll be much more creative in using the website's name (which I would like to see, but doesn't have to be) in the image.

You definitely need to stick with the dimensions I have provided below! Other the banner will not fit in with the website design, prize is $20 USD and this competitions closes on the 15th (of this month).

If you have any questions please ask! Good luck!

PS: If you can come up with/would like to put in a motto, feel free to, I don't really have one, but would like the PSD file just so I can change it if need be.
Color Scheme: Not contrasting to the main site design, anything really!
Type of Design: Banner
Desired Dimensions: 960 x 200
Desired Filetypes: PSD & PNG or GIF
Prize: $20 (USD)
How prize will be delivered: PayPal Only
End Date: April 13th

I didn't really want to see any red, I'm not too sure on the font and the graphics either.

Wow, that's great - you've definitely got the right idea there Agrias. Though there is no need for the border, if you have a look at the site, it's actually the DIV doing the work there.

One question though, is it possible to change the text in the PSD? By the text I means the left hand-written stuff.

I like the font you used for the ban and it's great how you've decided to use two fonts for that, but I think the second font for 'homework' needs to match a little more with the 'ban' font. Not colour-wise or grunge effect wise, but just general shape, moving the main title to the left a bit then just expanding that font (or using another) to make it look slightly more together. Right now I just see an emphasis on ban where as I'd like to even it out just a bit more.

Great work.

Wordlab forum - I think you'll find the best results for a tagline there.

Sorry, I thought you meant the red one you had then wasn't working. I need to read carefully. :-P

What do you think of this one? Anything to add, take away, change?

Ninjax; I like the font you've chosen for the 'ban homework', but I seem to like the effect the others have used with greens/browns, I'd probably lean more that way.

Gx3Grafix; I really like the character you've used in your design, the green colour also works well, but I don't think the character suits its surroundings, maybe using that character but leaning more towards how Agrias has designe his with a grungy effect that really makes you look at the words 'ban homework' rather than the blackboard. But stick with the green though unless you go brown, I don't mind at all.

Agrias; I think I like version two better, but you removed the bit of stuff (whatever it is) up the top middle of your first version, I think maybe not exactly that, but maybe smaller portions in different places on the banner would make it look a little more exciting. There isn't really anything else, what I am trying to think of is something that can replace the butterflies, they seem a bit out-of-character, maybe you could think of something.

Also just a question regarding the text on the left side, is it possible for me to request something else go there?

Abbas22; I like the white text you've chosen, as well as the brown coloured background, but I think it would be wise to increase the size of the font and maybe choose some different graphics, I'm not too ken on the clipart.

Kerrick; The brown on the background is good, but I think it needs to be a little more 'radical'. Maybe a different style/brush... as well as the colour of the board, I think it should be a grunge grey. The text is good how it is, I'll have a look after you've made some more changes.

Thanks everyone, the entries are looking fantastic so far, there's still another week for anyone else planning on entering.

it's an image, when you have the psd, you can just remove it.

- So you want the butterflies removed?
- maybe a few more effects, right?

Yeah, just a bit more effect and something more related to replace the butterflies.

Thank you for the feedback. I'll revise it and post again. Glad you like the character. I drew him in Illustrator and dragged him over as a vector smart shape in ps.

Thank you for the feedback! Now, I'm not quite sure just how radical you want the background, so I've got two.

A bit mild:


A bit more radical:
