    I need a banner for a future Wordpress blog.

    Height: 200 px
    Width: 707 px
    Color: Light Blues - You can keep any colors on the banner, as long as it merges well into the light blue template... see link below for the WP template preview.
    Style: Any
    Render/Stock: Any- as long as it has to do with money (cash, coins, dollar signs, etc.)
    I will require the PSD.

    The blog will be about legit ways to make money from home through GPT and freelancing.
    For the color-scheme of the banner, see http://wp-themes.com/cloudy/, which is the preview URL of the wordpress theme I will be using - NOT my actual site.

    1st: 1,000 credits
    2nd: However many credits are remaining

    =====

    OPEN UNTIL TOMORROW = SUNDAY @ 11:59pm PST.

    THanks

    Is there anything in particular you would like on it other than the colors being blue? Any particular style?

    Also any text?

    Any style would be fine, I'm pretty open to all ideas. As for images, I don't have any particular renders, but any integrated stock images will be acceptable, especially if the focus was on money, dollar signs, coins, etc - anything related to money. I also don't need text.

    Thanks! I'll edit my 1st post with the info.

    @ mantis: My fiance and I will be hosting the site, so we're collaborating together on the judging of the banner. We both like the style of this one since it's nice & flashy. The only thing that needs to be worked on is the $ sign... looks like it was just beveled/embossed with an outer glow. Maybe if that was changed or set up a stock in the background where money is centered... not sure, just throwing out some ideas. Good work though, you're in the right direction!

    @ Unkie: Thank you! We replied to your PM :)

    I kinda wanted everything focused around the money sign. Did you want me to not bevel it or try something else as the focal or what?

    Better? Worse? Other suggestions?

    Hi again Mantis!

    Sorry for the run around - I had a quick question... on the 1st one you did, I just noticed a serial number (possibly from a dollar bill?) on the top right - is that what it's from? Maybe if the background was a TINNNNNYYY bit more blue/darker so we can see more of the dollar and a little less white, that'd be good. The 2nd one was OK, but I'm thinking of staying away from the green. My fiance compared the two and we're thinking that we may go with the first one you did (sorry about that!). Maybe just making the $ sign a little less bevel/embossed.

    Thanks!
