Hi. Thanks for the contest. Here's my first try....

--->Feedback for jackieh1791

I like the design and style. Do you think the background you have for the banner/header should be continued as the overall website background? (The area on each side of the main frame)

 

[xtremegraphix]

ok here it is feed back welcome

Feedback for -->xtremegraphix

The design looks pretty good. I would like just one basket on the header. For the wording "Enchanted Gift Baskets", if you could make it stand out more via a larger size font or different color.

Nice Font there bud

 

[NabZ245]

oh omg, sorry i didn't realize u used the exact same one!
ahh, I'll change it if ya want. Sorry about that, didn't notice it!

 

[xtremegraphix]

its cool just was pointing it out
no bigi

NabZ245 - I was looking for an illustration of a gift basket, not a picture of a gift basket. The wording needs to read: Enchanted Gift Baskets" It does not standout enough.

xtremegraphix - After looking at the header longer, the graphic of the basket looks more like a picture, than an illustration. the whole banner also looks too busy to me.

jackieh1791 - Two things after looking at it more this weekend:

1. Can you swap the basket illustration with one a bit more detailed.

2. Instead of the black graphic & text, could you please try some sort of brown that would match the site.

~UN~ -Could you keep the tag line and background design and change the font to a script that has a somewhat wide stroke and is easy to read.

Thanks!
Riley

Thanks for the additional feedback. I was away for a couple days, but I'll have the revisions done by the contest end.

Here are the revisions you asked for and also I made a version with an actual basket.

Oops, I cropped it a little too close at the top - ignore that. :D

Well, with the deadline tomorrow, jackieh1791's revision #1 is at this point my favorite.

 

[Krossat]

My feeble attempt at it :\
4 drafts.

Kross.

Krossat ---> I like your 2nd to last one (from the bottom) except for the decorations on each side. I like what you did on the first two on the sides. I guess, less can be more!
Thanks!
Riley

Hi Riley,

Did u mean something like this:

I've changed the background gradient a bit, can play around with that for contrast.

Thanks,
Kross
