Graphic Design Contests

**mikesilvia** · 10-13-2005, 10:58 AM

I need 2 flash headers for my Forum and this BMW site. I am willing to pay $50-$150 for these. I will probably have more work after as I have 3 websites and 10 other under development.

KOREA FORUM - FIRST HEADER

I would like a banner like the one on sportscardforum.com.

Here are the requirements:
1. Must be a Korean theme: Korean War, U.S. military in Korea, military equipment, etc. I like how new images fade in and out. Showing modern themes and new themes. So, using images from the Korean War, modern day Seoul, etc.

2. I want it to take up the whole top of my forum. So, it should be twice as big as the on I have on their now.

3. I would like the text to fly in like on Sportcardforum. It should say:

USFK Forums (fixed on the Left)
"The #1 site for the military and expats in South Korea"

BMW SITE - SECOND HEADER

Please use the image already as the header. That should also be the size you use to create the flash header. Here is the BMW site.

Here is the original, clean image:

I need the fixed text on the left, just like the banner I have on the site:

BMW
Military Sales

And the Flash text to say "Own the ultimate driving maching for less than $29,500 delivered" and then a 5 second pause "Just 2 minutes from the Osan Air Base main gate" and repeat.

I will pay PayPal immediately after the work is done. I am not sure how this is done on this site. E-mail me at michael.silvia@osan.af.mil and mike@usfkclassifieds.com when complete. If people want to post there work here I can choose the best one.

Hackysack,

I really don't like that one. I need the text on the left really stand out. And the fly in text is too light.

Blakehil,

Very nice! I really like it! I will give you $75 total if you can make the following "minor" changes and a duplicate banner.

CHANGES

1. Where you have "Skywide.net" smaple can you put

For those who live in Korea

2. Instead of that gun, can you make an image of a teacher in a class room? Part of my member base are teachers, teaching English to Koreans.

SECOND BANNER

Same banner but instad of "USFK Forums" I need:

USFK Classifieds (fixed left)

And the Text to say "The best place to buy and sell in South Korea"

Additionally, if you can make a BMW banner I will add another $30 for $105 total. I don't need you to use the BMW picture I provided. If you can have a BMW driving or something and make it as nice as the USFK ones, I'd be happy.

Thanks!

When you finish, send me your Paypal address. I will have lots of work in the future.

How do you guys do all that its very good, im new to this stuff by the way. i have flash mx will that do the sort of stuff you did here blakehill??????????

**mikesilvia** · 10-13-2005, 09:00 PM

Excellent! Can you make the USFK banners the width of to fit a 1024 (width) screen? I have a feeling those banners will force a bottom scroll bar. I will sent payment immediately after. Total is $105.

Mike

**Blakehil** · 10-13-2005, 09:31 PM

I made all these banners using Photoshop CS 2 and Flash 8. You can do all this with Flash MX however Flash 8 has a number of new time-saving features that I find quite useful (text effects, drop shadow, glow, that type of stuff.)

Mikeslivia, what do you mean to fit a 1024? The banners are 996, they fit fine? Do you mean, make them 1024 instead of 996?

The BMW banner took me quite awhile to put together, if you are open to suggestions I would really rather receive 130$ as a total. However if you are unwilling or unable you need not worry, It’s understandable. Thanks for taking this into consideration.

Blake,
Skywide.net,

**mikesilvia** · 10-14-2005, 12:06 AM

$130 sounds good.

There are few small changes and we are done.

1. First, on the Forums banner, can you change "For those who live in Korea" to "Korea Discussion Forum"

2. Second, the Classifieds banner. I did a bad job of explaining. For the fixed text under "USFK Classifieds" I need it to read "For those living in South Korea" I need the flash text (on the right side) to say "The best place to buy and sell in South Korea" a 5 second pause and "Browse or list your stuff for free!"

3. The banners are 996, I need them to be a little smaller on the width. They are still forcing a left/right scroll bar on the bottom of my screen.

I have never dealt with flash, so excuse me if these are easy changes to make. Additionally, how do I had these to my site? Are they just like adding .jpg and .gif files?

After this I will send the money. Thanks for the great work! I will need a few more banners made very soon. I will send you e-mail from now on.

**mikesilvia** · 10-14-2005, 12:10 AM

Blake, is there a way to have the text fly in on the Forum and Classifieds banner? Like the way HackySack did on the BMW banner? Also, how the Sportscardforum banner is?

Sorry to be a pain, just trying to get the "Perfect" banners.

**stvn1** · 10-14-2005, 07:28 AM

so photoshop cs1 and fireworks mx should do these banner designs????????

**Blakehil** · 10-14-2005, 08:58 AM

Alright I updated what the text says. I have to go to work now, but when I get back I will edit the width of the banners. Making the text fly in will require reanimating all the text, so I will do it later tonight.
