[REQ-HEADER] Header for Local Community - $50 PayPal

eWinnipeg Header Design Contest:

Type of Contest:
-Header
-vBulletin Images

Prize:
-$50.00 USD via PayPal

Contest End Date & Time:
-April 8, 2007 - 6:00PM Central Time (contest may end early if I find a header that I love, so submit your designs when you have time.)

Size Requirements:
-Header and images for vBulletin forum

Color Requirements:
-Use your creativity. I like bright colours that stand out but if you have a vision then go with it.

General Requirements:
-The header must be coded and include these links: "Home", "Forum", "Chat", "Classifieds", "Webmail" in one area and "Bookmark this page", "Tell a Friend", and "Make Us Your Homepage" in another area. The links may be worded differently.
-Must receive a .PSD or file format that you edited the header in for future editing.
-Must have room for a 468x60 banner in the header for advertising.
-Domain extension doesn't have to be included, you can pick what you want to do and I "Winnipeg Online" must be included in the design unless you can think of another slogan.
-The vBulletin images that I need are just the ones on the left of the forum and the ones by the time of each post. They are very minor and won't determine the outcome of the contest but I do need them.

Additional Information:
-You may use any of the pictures from the link below (you may use others as long as you have permission.):
http://manitobaphotos.com/winnipegarea.htm
*Pictures may only be used for my header since I have a deal with the photographer.

It's for http://www.ewinnipeg.com, so you can take a look at it. The site is for the city of Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canadan and basically it's for bringing the whole city online together. I will be adding the realchat software in the future, so they can have a great experience. I will be upgrading the forum with vBulletin 3.6.0, so the colours that you select I will use.

I will be on top of this thread to give feedback all of the time, so whenever you have a design upload it and I will tell you what I think.

If you have any questions feel free to PM me at anytime.

Thank you and good luck to all!

I forgot to mention in my original post that I will also need just a few vBulletin buttons re-done with matching colours by the winner.

Thank you.

so what you want is this:
- coded header
- 468x60 banner
- vBulletin Images
all that for 30$? sorry, but I think it should be atleast around 50-60$ cause it's alot of work.

It's just a coded header and some vBulletin images. I said there needs to be room for a 468x60 banner in the header.

If $30 is too little I will up the contest prize to $50!

Thank you for the comments!

Great start for sure! I have a few tips though:

-The image on the left is a bit to streched.
-You don't necessarily have to have the images going into each other (I don't know the correct term.)
-I would like the 468x60 banner in a more distinct place, so it's not really inside of the header but near the outside.
-I need something more done with the "Winnipeg Online - eWinnipeg.com" text.
-The header is similar to the old header, I want to try and get away from it.
-You have the right idea with the "Bookmark", "Homepage", and "Send Friends" links though!
-The "Home", "Forum", "Chat", "Classifieds", and "Webmail" are alright but I would love to see what you can do with them.

Hopefully that helps! Thanks for the entry!

Sorry but those are way too similar to the older design.

The feedback I gave you for the first one is what I want done with the last two you did. You even copied the links of the older ones. I don't want it to be the same at all but you may use some of the same pictures.

Those places in the images aren't beside each other, so you don't need to try and make it seem like they are. I'd recommend to try something new although I like how the Bookmark, etc. links are still.

Yes ,I would like the header to be around the same size. I didn't know the size in pixels, so I just posted that. I want it to fit perfectly with a 1024x768 screen. 1024x768 is what most people are using, right?

I don't really have a preference but I don't really want it to be like my old header. You may use a photo collage if you want but I would do whatever you think looks best.

Heya, cheers for the invite. Interesting design competition. Since it's late now I'm not going to start anything, but I've added this to my bookmarks toolbar for tomorrow. I'll see what I can come up with.

That's too bad, although you could get someone to code it with the money you make

 

[.:Mammoth261:.]

Ok, my idea behind this concept came from your '1024x768 is what most people use,right?'. Well you can't judge what size monitor and resolution people have, especially this day in age. At the moment I'm running a 17" with 1280x1024 resolution. This makes it harder to develop fluid banners, unless they are tiled.

Here's my design:

EDIT: It's too early in the morning >.< I need to revise my idea as there's no room for a advertising banner. Though it could go below?

what i have so far still working. like the logo?
