Hi i_luv_pitza,
Thanks for your entry...I find your banner a little lack of flare. There is too much a gap between the words and the bowling pins.

Also, the wording designs is too plain. I'm looking for more creative and eye poping designs on the words.

Thanks,
Anthony

Hi,
Thanks for all your efforts...

YellowMan, the design is too simple. The wording is too plain.

Thortatude, the gutter does not really go with the overall design. Also the wording design is too plain.

i_luv_pitza, the background of the second one is of better looking. But the blue color scheme needs to go. Also like the rest of the design here, the wording looks too plain.

I really want the wordings to be the main stand out. Little or no background grahics is fine. I have seen some photoshop wording thats very impressive, like gel like, cutout and etc. Not that I want it in the design, but an idea of what I'm looking for in the wording design. Something eye-catching.

I guess what I'm looking for is some special effect on the text(s) to give it a fancy look

Thanks,
Anthony

Hi mrpsycho98,
Your design is the best so far. Can u improve on the wordings to create some special design/effect while maintaining the current theme...

Also I don't fancy the script font used on the second line of text.

Thanks,
Anthony

mrpsycho98,
I still prefer your first design, but at least you need to re-design the second line of text to be more...catchy? Can u do another revision?

Right now, your design will be used to set the tone of this contest. Good job.

Anyone else ??

Thanks,
Anthony

mrpsycho98,
Sorry if I have caused any confusion. Special text effect like gel like text and etc. Like if you google photoshop text effect, you will see tons of tutorial to create text.

I'm ok with your first design, just need u to re-design the 2nd line of text.

Thanks,
Anthony

YellowMan,
Your background looks very nice. The wordings doesn't look too good though.
As said in my previous post, some nice effect on the text would be nice...and blend into your background.

Please keep it coming.

Thanks,
Anthony

mrpsycho98,
Thanks for your revision. Your very first submission still looks the best to me. Unless someone can give me a better design by midnight tonight, you should be the winner of this contest. O, can DLMS, v1.1 and Drilling Layout Management System be all on its separate 3 layers? Also if you are the winner, please give me all the fonts used as well.

Anymore submission ??

Thanks,
Anthony

Hi antmay,

Two slightly different layouts, but the same theme:

Sorry I'm a bit late, but thought I'd give it a go Background image is a free stock photo and the pins are custom-made by myself (I can supply a vector image of them if required).

Feedback appreciated.
