Design a Banner: $15 gift certificate

Expand Post »
Hey there everyone! Happy end-of-Turkey Day. This first contest of ours is to celebrate us reaching 10,000 posts on Thanksgiving!

Here's the deal ... we're in need of a 468x60 banner that we can use for web promotion or to give out to people. Since I'm certainly no artist I've decided to turn it into a design-a-banner contest!

All you artists out there, you have until December 31st to come up with a banner for us. (The deadline may be extended if we don't receive enough submissions at which time it will be announced.) During the month of January, all of the submissions will be entered in a poll.

The winner will receive a $15 US gift certificate to buy.com, a great place to buy computer stuff, music, dvds, and so much more!

Rules:
Only one submission per person.
The banner must be 468x60 in size.
The banner must be less than 10000 kb
The banner can advertise TechTalkForums.com, DaniWeb.com, Dazah.com, or any of their subsections/subforums.
If you choose to use a slogan, use "where cool techies unite."
Please post submissions as attached files as a reply to this thread.

[edit] I have decided to push this contest back a month. Therefore, submissions will now be accepted until January 31st. Voting will take place during the month of February ... keep the submissions coming!

Re: Design a Banner: $15 gift certificate

I really like that banner. Could you come up with a non-animated version (so this way it will be under the desired file size).

The reason for the file size limit is because many banner programs that I might use it for won't accept anything over 10-12kb. In addition, it should still be quick loading enough for dial-up users.

And that's why I'm a failure at graphic design.
