[REQ-Banner] $20 Paypal, Aviation Photography site

[mav747]

Type of Contest : Banner Design for www.AviationPhotography.org

Prize : $30.00 for banner paid via PayPal

Contest End Date & Time : June 27, 2007 or sooner if I see something I like.

Size Requirements : 468x60 and 728x90 (The same banner just in both these sizes required)

Color Requirements : Any colors that look good with the site, be creative

General Requirements : Looking for something on these lines (this is my old banner under my old domain name)

This banner looks a bit cheesy though because the photographer looks like a tourist rather than an aircraft spotter. But the idea is there, photographing a moving aircraft etc.

Count me in

Does it have to be animated? $20 is a bit cheap for an animated banner.

 

[mav747]

I will up the prize money to $30.

I would prefer it to be animated yes, but if you feel that you can produce a good static banner, then by all means go for it.

But i really like the idea of a photographer capturing the moving aircraft.

 

[divineart]

here is my concept..

 

[mav747]

Initially I wanted this competition finished by the 27th but since there is only one entry I might extend it...

Looking forward to seeing snkdesigns entry and possibly dotsauce too.

I'll be submitting something soon.
EDIT: Here it is! Just a draft.

 

[mav747]

Thanks for the entries...

Feedback:

divineart: Professional looking banner, nice fonts, but i dont like the picture of the aeroplane, looks like a toy plane. Good use of colours - pity there is no moving aircraft.

snkdesigns: I like the moving aircraft and then the picture displayed of the moving aircraft. I dont like the picture you used of the camera nor the font for the text Aviation Photography. It must also say AviationPhotography.org

c24_net: This is definitely the best I have seen in terms of the moving aircraft. I love the aircraft! But something doesnt go well with it and I think its the text colour (white border) or maybe the font.

 

[c24_net]

Made some modifications here and there.

EDIT: Improved the fading text.

 

[mav747]

Thx c24_net, you have been crowned the winner.

I like the bottom one the most. Are you able to give me that banner in both sizes as requested 468x60 and 728x90 (The same banner just in both these sizes required)

 

[divineart]

here is changes as par ur need:

here is the 468x60:

regards

 

[mav747]

ok, so heres the deal. I already announced the c24_net has won but I really like your second attempt too divineart.

So I will take both. You will each get $30. (divineart and c24_net)

divineart some changes though please: on the big banner, make the plane on the right static and maybe more central (looks a bit cut off at the top there), the moving plane on the left is enough (I dont need 2 moving planes). {Edit: On second thought maybe take that plane out completely and use those photos of the planes like you used in the smaller banner and put that there!}

The plane on the left, can you let it it stay for a second after it is fully shown. (At the moment it moves accross and then just dissapears, rather let it move accross and then stay for a second and then only dissapear).

Also the text on the bottom right needs to be changed because its just duplicating whats already on there. Text there should read "Join our online community today!"

Also the text "Aviation Photography.org" on the left must not have a space, please to read "AviationPhotography.org"

Then if you could just rezise that big banner to 468x60 (or even 468 x 58 at worst) as thats the banner I prefer.

Please post revised banners and send me paypal info. Well done to both of you!

Competition is closed - thanks to all who entered.
