Hey,

Is there a prize or award for each banner created..?

- CBG

**Brian07002** · 01:55 PM

Initially...No, there was no prize or award...But since you asked, and it is banner related, how does a link to the winners website sound...The winner would be chosen based on the following:

1. Number of banners
2. Quality
3. Over-all, which would be the number of banners you send me + quality of each of them.

I will add you to my links page as a featured website for a full month to help your website ranking.

I am a fair person.

-Brian

**CannonBallGuy** · 02-15-2006, 02:43 PM

Sorry Brian. I have made $30 on a single banner at these forums before.
I don't have time to make many high quality banners to try to out-do the others here, if all I'll get for it is a link.

Good luck anyway.

Not a prob. Nice talking

-Brian

**gringo** · 02-16-2006, 06:41 AM

You're asking for over 60 banners and you will declare only one winner?

**Brian07002** · 02-16-2006, 10:47 AM

I will pick one winner from each banner design.

Ex: Christmas will be one, Easter will be one, etc..

-Brian

**FutileSoul** · 02-16-2006, 11:21 AM

therefore you will be giving out over 60 links?

**Brian07002** · 11:45 AM

Yes, if that's what I agreed upon, that what it shall be

Like I say, I am a fair person, and if I can't get 60 different people to work on the banners (say 1 person for each banner) this is what I will do, who ever sends me the most will automatically be declared the winner. Just for participating.

Note: I am aware that YOU will never know who will send in the most, but I will be honest, I am putting my business reputation on the line here. And believe me, my business means the most to me. Especially at this time. I will edit the oringial post with the banner names, and put your first name like (Brian07002 - 1 ) next to each banner you did, with of course, the amount you submitted to me.

-Brian

I don't think you'll have many takers for this one to be honest. A cash incentive would be much better.

Perhaps you could look at www.5dollarbanners.com, as the title suggests they do banners for $5, I got one made and will be going back to them for more soon. Don't think you'd be able to get them cheaper.

I can't see anyone being interested in doing this for a link on a page along with 60 others, it's just not going to give them any "roi".

Anyway, good luck with getting them done, I strongly suggest that site though.

~Noticing that the words aren't showing up that well.. Showed up good in Photoshop, but for some reason, not good here.. The PSD file above is ready for editing.. You or someone else could spice it up if you like.~

**recedo** · 02-22-2006, 07:25 AM

Perhaps make the fill for the fonts white, maybe add transparency to it as well so you can see the background texture through it?

**Brian07002** · 02-24-2006, 01:08 AM

Hi All,

Thank you for all the comments on this topic, I have considered creating my own banners, thank you for inquiring though, and Thank you,wfcamb especially for your time in creating the banner.

I really appreciate your work, so for making that valentines banner, I will put that one up in my banner rotator script just for the heck of it...And by the way, I can offer you some assistance in your design...It's been awhile since I used photoshop, but, here's what you need to work on. ~ Layers ~ if you know layers, you will purrr - fect your work...I know it works cause I use flash, (the basics) but I know that using layers will help reduce your work load, and give you outstanding effects.
