akshaykapoor_3 -
Logo is not clear. Font seems to be too fancy. That photo might be apt for some bollywood/gossip site, not for a cricket based one. The small squares also compliment it! Honest try but I think might not go well with the theme.


I see that you guys are trying to do with my banner job. Be creative. Other than the required things I mentioned, there's no stopping you. Feel free to run wild with your creativity.

Yeh, the pic doesnt go well with the Cricket theme.. If free tmrw, will give anothr try .. and as Rohan said, small and bold fonts would look nice !!

@Akshay,
The heading font should not slant. Slanting font is perceived as "seeking approval" whereas you will need as "strong expression" for this case. Try using bold, small caps.

Remove the black shadows beind the 'The unofficial fan club'.

Nice tip.. appreciated

Thanks a lot for your time. Nice try boys.

No man, it won't look good this way. How about the entire CSK team photo and the logo?

The Poster is good. Thanks. Gladiator?

A really nice try. I like the colours used in the BG. But the font is not good (not that I want some fancy font). Looks amateurish when we see for the first time.



Can anyone try some Grunge designs? Meanwhile, I'll confirm the theme I'll use so that we can design header based on that.

I'm planning to use Neoclassical Theme.

Now I don't see a need for header design. I just might just use images (with slight modification) with the theme.


P.S: Sick of these WP themes. Spend 2 hours looking for a nice theme. Chris Pearson's themes are the best. Rest sucks and too amateurish. Planned to buy Thesis Theme but I can't afford $90 on it.

PS: now that grudgy doesn't want it, any1 can use it as a forum siggy, lemme know if you need any text modification

As said in my earlier post, I'm planning to use a theme which needs no header image. So I don't need any designs.

Thanks for your time, boys.

oh...I was late. I had made these.*img219.imageshack.us/img219/3038/18390424kg8.jpg

btw that Neoclassical theme link is giving parse error.

 

[drgrudge]

Nice try. As I said I'll be using the Neoclassical theme which needs no header. Just images is sufficient.

Thanks for your time.


If I buy the Thesis Theme, then I'll start another contest to design a banner.

. effort made by half a dozen guys gone to waste.

after seeing all the entries, i want to learn to use photoshop too.

My intension was not to 'waste' their time. Anyway see my terms and conditions.

I'll definitely start another contest when I buy a new theme.
