Can anyone help me design two banners?

**andrewsco** · 04-05-2004, 06:11 PM

Hi, I have recently opened a site:

www.shore2sure.com

As you can probably see, it is in DEFINATE need of a good quality banner. I have tried a little to learn photoshop but I just cant seem to get the time to spend on it? I am only a student myself so I really cant afford to pay for a banner. I would give anyone who could help me out a link on our page and I would obviously give you credit for your work in the about us section. Please look at the site to get some ideas,,,perhaps something on the lines of either flowers, old houses, trees?

Secondly I am creating another site, a computer security related site which will eventually be called:

www.Box-Security.com however its not up and going yet. I will describe it as well as i possibly can. I would like it to fit with my colour schemes of site and have a high tech looking feel. These are a light blue, grey and black, the blue looks almost luminous on the black.

If anyone could help pleasae post back, it really will be appreciated.

I would be happy to help you. You can review some of my work at www.catheletts.com/Daze/graphics.htm this will take you into my graphics section so you can kinda get an idea of what what you might want on this.

How ironic! I remember when you submitted Shore2Sure for a review in the Site Review forum. I was a bit bored on that day, so I actually had a go myself at jazzing up your logo for you! (I didn't save it though....d'oh!)

But I'll have another go anyway, if I get time.

Regards

here's my offering. The image is optimised for a pale yellow background like you have already got (i.e. not the white background you see when you open the attachment.

Hi wicko. I likw the idea, the only thing is if u look on the site, what I would like to do is somehow encorporate the banner with some type of pictue. I think the reason the site looks bad is that it doesnt flow accross the top. If you could maybe have another go bearing this in mind then that would be great

To Dazyday. I kind of hoped for the banner to be a bit more specific to my site, none of the banners on there would fit directly into there, if you could adapt any so that you think it would fit then please submit something.

Thanks for your quick response.

How bout this one:

**andrewsco** · 04-06-2004, 09:34 AM

hi. I am not sure that the beach would work, as i think maybe that the orange would clash with the other colours. I'd say also if it could be a little longer and thinner, perhaps with not too much behind the actual words shore2sure, but with a picture at the side kind of faded in so that the whole thing flows. Thanks for all your help, your nearly there, and i think they are really good design, perhaps just not quite what I am looking for

Here is something I worked up using pictures off your site.

Hope this helps you out - it's saved as JPEG quality 95, so you might want to reduce that to help with filesize if you do decide to use it...

If you don't like the first one, let me know what you think of this baby...

I had to really work it to get it this stylish - especially that colour scheme - you wouldn't have guessed pink and brown could have been so good together!

Love the design. Good use of comic sans (I usually despise that font). Really active design, looks very eye catching and effective.

**Tzunami** · 04-15-2004, 05:47 AM

actally did you read the "hate mail" that comic sans got in .net magazine last month!?! Can't think why!

I can see why people would get so frustrated by it. It annoys me when I see it on The Sims.

**Tzunami** · 04-16-2004, 04:09 AM

Argh - The Sims annoys me too!

Comic Sans + Sims = hell!

**David43** · 04-16-2004, 08:44 AM

I 100% agree.
