Giveaway.co.uk - Header Required

FurbtasticM · 01-09-11, 12:49 PM

I want to get some content on Giveaway and take advantage of the limited traffic until I finally decide what to do with it.

I don't expect people to spend long on it but would appreciate one of you graphics gods knocking up a quick header.

I'd say it should be about the size of this one http://gadgets4nowt.co.uk/images/Gadgets4nowt2.jpg and incorporate the same sort of things, albeit combined with http://giveaway.co.uk/wp-content/the...eaway-logo.gif

So, a nice clean banner with all the latest gadgets and tech on there (it needs the iPad to update it) and maybe an amazon voucher or discount coupons for example, with the writing The Original Giveaway Network placed somewhere nicely on there. I quite like the font and colours on that but am open to ideas.

Hope that makes some sense and thanks in advance.

Cheers,

Furbs

What are you thinking of doing with the domain Steve?

FurbtasticM · 01-09-11, 01:45 PM

Still not sure mate, if/when I get my online mojo back and think about it seriously I should be able to come up with something.

I've had a couple of chats about joint ventures but nothing concrete there either.

So, for the time being, I want to get a bit of content on there rather than just leave it as it is.

I wouldn't have thought you would want to use the Giveaway logo since it's got so much stigma attached to it now.

In my opinion

I don't, just the text from it.

Just a quick one for you

And if you need any help with the site or ideas etc, gimme a shout

Are you sure you want it to say "The original..." - just thinking people (who know) will go "Agghh NOOO, not the original company... they f****d us over big time"!!

Good banner though! Though you should update the iPhone 3GS pic to an iPhone 4 as well as the iPods?

FurbtasticM · 01-09-11, 03:39 PM

Thanks for the banner, I can see the posts from work but they block the images, so will have to check later.

Looking at the traffic stats there wont be many if any repeat visitors, so not overly worried about saying "original".

Having played around a bit, I personally like Xploit's version right now. What do you think? Giveaway ?

**xploit** · 01-09-11, 09:18 PM

I think Ryans looks much better than mine but hey - glad you like it

**ryan1087** · 01-09-11, 09:22 PM

Looks good, i think xploit's one works better because none of gadgets are cut off, if you wanted me to i can do it again and do that then i can. Also i can update some of the gadgets there too, or provide xploit with graphics.

FurbtasticM · 01-09-11, 09:32 PM

My only very minor criticism on Xploit's is the text looks slightly blurred and could have a slightly lighter blue. If that could be sorted I'd be pleased with the result.

I had to resize it to make it fit the width by the way.

Thanks again.

No, Xploit's, had to make it wider - 902 x 133 now.

Amazing work, thanks mate, looks good.

Tried to rep but have to spread it around first, sorry.

az87aris · 01-09-11, 11:55 PM

I like the layout of xploits, but apart from the ipad 2 all of the other gadgets are way out of date!

**ryan1087** · 02-09-11, 12:19 AM

Made this in the style of xploits with updated gadgets:
