With a new version of the DesignContest.net website on its way, we need your help! The new site will contain a large header graphic (850px x 100px) and we want YOU to design it.
Rules for this contest are as follows:
1) You must use the supplied logo and header template when designing
2) You may only use photos/illustrations that you have the rights to use
3) The supplied logo only includes our "DC" symbol. You must be creative and supply the text "DesignContest.net".
4) The logo/DC.net text must be positioned to the left of the header (for usability reasons)
How to participate:
1) Download the following zip file: http://www.designcon...m/DC_Header.zip
This contains the header template in PSD format and a greyscale of our logo in EPS format. Please Note: Because I am using a Mac, Windows users may find files with an underscore(_) in front of them. Do not use these files.
2) Design a header concept that includes our logo, site name (DesignContest.net) and a design of your choice.
3) Submit a link to your header concept in this thread.
The top 5 designers will have their work displayed on the DesignContest.net website at random. The designers name & portfolio url will also be included.
The top 2 designers wll receive either:
a) a membership to the design team if he/she is not already a member or,
b) a promotion to the next level if he/she is already a member
Have fun and be creative! Deadline for this contest is November 15, 2005.

Wow:)...sounds fun:) I love all the entries...better get busy....should we use a particular colors???? Can we add our own tag line? (instead of "way to design")??
Add your own colours, add illustrations, photos, whatever you like, however no tagline should be used.

I just want to clear a couple things up. First I apologize profusely for my original mistake, the logo should be aligned to the left not the right (I typed the original message too quickly

Second, I really like the direction that grimsqueaker has taken the header in their second entry. This is the type of entry we are looking for -- something artistic-like. Take the provided template and use it as a blank canvas to be creative.
Also, there will be no spot for a banner. This will be going on the main website (http://designcontest.com) not the forums.
Thanks again everyone!

This banner can be done in any color chosen, but is shown with the original colors.
