Graphic Design Contests

**mikesilvia** · 12:36 AM

I am looking for a new header for my forum; http://usfkforums.com

Currently, it has a flash banner, but I want to move away from that. Also, I have way too many links in my navigation bar.

The header must have a Korean theme. If you want to have fun and use a Team America: World police type image/theme go for it! See my current banner for a theme.

I want the image to be cool and load quick, so a gif or JPG is ok.

As far as navigation, I need some buttons embedded into the image with a small icon and text for each. I will use the banner that is created and make image map out of it. Here are the icons/text that I need in the header. They should be separated into a left and right site.

Here is a good example of a header I am looking for: http://www.cinvin.com/forums/?styleid=35

I will pay $50 + $2 PayPal. This will cover your PayPal charge. I will check this thread daily, good luck!

Will you code it or do we have to?

**mikesilvia** · 05-30-2006, 02:30 AM

If the images 50k or less I don't mind it being an image and I can just image map it. If it is size intensive I will need it coded.

Mike

Is there a specific size you would like it to be?

**mikesilvia** · 05-30-2006, 02:43 AM

I don't have a specific size in mind. As long as it looks nice at the top of my forum.

Also, don't worry about making it the same color as my forum. If the header looks nice, I will create a new style to match it.

snk123, very nice. You definately got what I was asking for. I really like the buttons on the right and bottom. I am not too excited about the text style though. Also, I am 50-50% on the image.

i will enter soon...
thanks

my entry:

did not keep your colorscheme. And i dont know if the theme is right.
The width can be made to fit your page.

**MissLee** · 06-01-2006, 01:32 PM

Hi Mike,
Nice contest!
Shown smaller than actual size, obviously.

Full size image is about 60k but I can probably tighten that up if necessary. It is fully 'stretchable' if you have your page width set to 100%. It's on the tall side @ about 300 px but I can go shorter if you prefer. Let me know your thoughts on this one; I'm happy to make revisions if it appeals.

**Halbarad** · 06-01-2006, 05:07 PM

Wow, a lot of nice entries! I will ask feedback from my team. Here is some initial feedback:

Halbarad,

Not bad, simple and to the point. Can you make it more "Korea" though?

Miss Lee,

Nice job. Simple and to the point. No changes needed.
