Website banner

fozzybear · 17 Oct 2006 at 09:15

I seriously need help on a banner i'm trying to design for an upcoming horse racing blog. I want the banner to look professional, modern and kind of abstract. I'm not having much luck as i've got almost zero graphic design skill.

The 3 photos i want to include in the image are as follows:-

I had a vision of the winning post in the middle with both horses on the left and the right looking in towards the winning post. As i said, the banner needs to be modern and possibly, if you can, abstract. Let your imagination run riot.

I'll put a credit on the finished site for you as well.

Cheers.

What kind of size are you looking for? Im pretty poor when it comes to graphics but I'll give it a go if I can

How about 740 x 120 pixels?

It's frustrating me knowing exactly what i want it to look like but being unable to do it.

If anyone has any links to excellent tutorials for this type of thing, they'd be very welcome.

Cheers for that effort.

It's a bit simplistic looking. I need something a bit more stylish and classy.

I feel bad for commenting on it when you've gone to the trouble to do it for me.

I love the gold background but i think the images i posted actually take away from it. What would it look like without my images and a bit of sample text on it? I havn't yet come up with a title for my website so just try and put some sample text on there if you can.

I appreciate both your efforts!

I prefer the bottom, slightly lighter one.

I'm just worried about a colour scheme (was planning on a pale green background) for the website going with the banner. :confused:

In green plus if you want the photoshop file to play with the hue will send

That would be great. I can imagine the green one working well with what i have in mind. Can you send it to my MSN email address in my trust? I'll have a mess about with it when i get back home next week.

I also won't forget to put a credit for banner design to you on the site.

Also what font is it you've used on the green version?
