@ Josephine

Sorry if I offended you, I didn't mean to steal your idea. I designed my banner in photoshop, and never noticed the similarities until I went to post it.

@ brianblum

I'll try to submit a revision by this evening

Wow, there are so many great designs!

I think I'd like some more variety in the images. Right now, they're all of the Western Wall. I've posted some additional images: one of an old historic house, a picture of the desert and a beach shot. Maybe you could create a nice montage of the Western Wall plus these images? I also included an arch that might be a nice design element.

Feel free to use any (or none) of the above as you see fit.

I attached the files here, but if you don't see them, here are links to the files:

brianblum · 02-12-2010, 03:00 AM

Jman: I liked your original design better than the "filmstrip" one. Can you add that montage of images into the first design? You can keep the stones around the words "This Normal Life" and put the other images to the right.

tysonjb: nice layout, but too much water. We need to show the variety of landscapes in Israel. Also, don't include a map - that gets political and my website is non-political on purpose to appeal to a wide audience.

kesari18: the design is too brown. Can you give it some more color with the additional images?

josephine: wherefore out thou?

...Revised...
Is there an official end date for this contest? Its almost a month past its end date

kosvam · 02-12-2010, 11:57 AM

Ciao, this is my first try. I made it more personal and professional with your image effected and dark colors.
Background color can easily be changed. Feedback appreciated.

brianblum · 02-13-2010, 08:34 AM

J-Man - I wrote down the end date incorrectly. I started the contest on Feb 4, so the end date is Feb 14 not Jan 14 as it's written. I updated that entry. Sorry about the confusion!

hello,
any feedback for my entry?
thanks

brianblum · 02-13-2010, 01:10 PM

Wow, we're almost there! A few last comments before I pick the winner tomorrow.

josephine: I was thinking that there are too many antiquities in the photos. It might be better to use something more modern to show that people go shopping in Israel too. So, in the first example you sent, could you replace the first picture (the old house) and insert this file instead?
http://www.thisnormallife.com/Mamilla.jpg. Then move the new picture to the second position to give some contrast between the arch and the desert.

j-man: can you do the same - replace the house with the new photo? And make the text white not brown (that's how you had it in an earlier version) - I think that will look better.
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=637957

kosvam: nice and clean. Could you make the Israeli flag bigger?

brianblum · 02-15-2010, 01:16 PM

It's been a tough decision, but I'm going to award the winning design to Josephine! Please contact me outside this thread so we can finalize which design to use.

To everyone else, thanks for all your great submissions. There is such amazing talent here at Namepros. I'll be back in another month or so with a new design contest, so let's stay in touch!

All the best - Brian

josephine · 02-15-2010, 11:53 PM
