Graphic Design Contests

**Padawan** · 09:48 PM

I am developing a new site - www.egyptbc.com (don't waste any time looking as there is nothing there yet)

It is going to be all about ancient egypt - the pharoes, culture, customs, pyramids, etc - you get the picture.

Now this is going to be a challenge for you - I want a banner and the only description of my site you have is that it is going to be predominantly yellow in colour (as near to sand colour as I can find) so the banner needs to both complement this and also add a little contrast as well.

Size wise I am looking for a full header banner, content wise a pyramid must figure somewhere

I will pay the winner $15 by paypal. I have seen that there has been some issues with these competitions recently - if you check -

you can see that I have already run one of these in the correct spirit but obviously I would advise you watermark your submissions anyway.

Closing date will be at this precise time, 7 days from now

Show me what you can do guys...........

468*60 is a tiny banner (assuming it's a header image). Unless it's an advertisement banner, I think that's too small. :-/ Just a thought, I'll get to working on it! :-)

**Padawan** · 03-11-2005, 09:47 PM

oops, daydreaming I meant full header banner

**Logical Program** · 03-11-2005, 09:50 PM

I'll do 775*150.

**duckz** · 03-11-2005, 10:01 PM

everybody will think i am obsessed with the static word but..

**Padawan** · 03-11-2005, 10:03 PM

yes to static image please, no maximum number of submissions

**duckz** · 03-11-2005, 10:38 PM

could u please give a reference code or a sample of the main color u are using?

**Padawan** · 03-11-2005, 10:44 PM

I reckon the colour will be somewhere between the range of #FFFFCC and #FFFF99 if that helps

**duckz** · 03-11-2005, 10:49 PM

**Padawan** · 03-12-2005, 04:42 AM

Thats's an excellent start there, I especially like the sunset with this one

**Padawan** · 03-12-2005, 07:48 PM

Just been thinking - if anyone is going to put the domain on the banner, can I have the "bc" in CAPS please

**duckz** · 03-13-2005, 02:10 AM

**Logical Program** · 03-13-2005, 02:29 AM

I had my go at it... The watermark will be removed if I win.

Lol, Artimesia, you have that paragraph about watermark removal... There isn't even a watermark on it. o.O

I think it was a boilerplate notice -- but still, that's what I call CYA!

**Logical Program** · 03-13-2005, 12:56 PM

CYA? Is that an acronym, or... Were you saying "See ya!" Lol, that's why I hate internet terminology. :-P

Anyways, if it was "See ya", explain to me what "but still, that's what I call CYA" means, lol.

Sorry for my retardation.

**Logical Program** · 03-13-2005, 03:33 PM

Yes... It is written as if he has already won.

**Padawan** · 03-13-2005, 04:47 PM

WOW, I spent so much time reading Atimesia's text that I almost didn't realise there was an image attached! Does look good though
