Graphic Design Contests

**sirpaul** · 10-07-2004, 12:24 AM

I had a guy hook me up w/ a new banner and advertising for our mag for adding them to our site(good deal) but when I add the new banner it makes my side menu look really bad...any suggestions? the new banner is at Trial CavsWatch I use a darker red right now that i've always used but it looks horrid w/ the new banner. I tried to go white, w/ the same background as the rest of the site and quit at the blue you see. Any comments, suggestions..thanks. The banner is about to get the boot if I can't get it look right. Oh and he is reworking the right box of the banner...I don't like the pictures(but, maybe he just picked ugly people

).

Well unless this has already been fixed it doesnt look that bad, ya the side banner looks somewhat lighter then the other red, but not horrid.

Nice site by the way.

thanks ColdEcho, I think by the time you posted that I had went to a lighter red color on the side. It still didn't work. I finally though think I found something that works. He altered the middle graphic because it was the one that was throwing everything off because the colors didn't go. Then I moved the boxes between content and banner and shrunk down my drop down meny off to the right. I think it came out pretty well.

I'm still thinking about rounding off a few corner that go from the banner to the content to get it to flow better...but other than that I think I like it. Anyone agree disagree?
