Graphic Design Contests

Hi all,
I need a page top banner for my TruckCam site
"its not a business" its just for fun.
I am open to idears, some animation would be good.
I guess something with truck or trucks and a cam
would be a good start.

you can see my page here to see what its all about:
http://www.truckcam.tv
I don't want the "g0hwc" bit in the banner.

a matching 468x60 would be handy but to botherd about this.

This is the 3rd comp I have done here, last one was for a mate
and the first was for my Ham radio site: http://www.g0hwc.com

Thanks for your time

Paul

Sorry about before. Here is my entree.

Hello. Here is my entry. Let me know if you want anything to be changed. And by the way, as a designer (even though i might be not the best one), I would recommend you not to use animated banners. It might look good, but it's bad for design of the page. It loads slower, it draws attention, it annoys the eye. I have had experience with that.

TonyHo, im sorry if it looks like yours, i had no intention to make it like yours. In fact, i've seen yours after i the idea came to my head of my current design.

All look good so far.
Point taken about animation, but I was only thinking of something
like maybe flashing lights on a truck?

Also all remember, I am in UK so if anyone uses a map it would need to be
part of a UK map.

Well some time to go so good luck to all

Paul

Map changed

mine here...

I will give this a try, but I really don't like .gifs for animation. If you want a little animation, I personally prefer flash. Is that an issue?

I am going to do a quick flash one then, be done soon.

**katesrobyn** · 03-12-2010, 11:34 PM

Here's another proposal;

**RobK** · 03-13-2010, 08:11 AM

Well here's my little flash banner. I managed to make the entire flash only 32Kb which is much lower than the header you have now 120Kb. So it will load a lot faster.

Let me know what you think. http://www.rlkdesigns.com/test.html

Wow dude, when u said u were gonna do a Flash banner I was expecting much more than that. I was expecting something like cross between Avatar and The Highwayman.
