Animated Image Needed Please

[FurbtasticM]

I hashed together a very quick image for my blog but it looks like something a primary school kid could have done



What I would love one of you clever graphics guru to create are two images please. I'm looking for a gif but with no white background, it should be grey to blend in with the rest of the image/site.

The gif should feature the iPhone 4S and have something with transitions along the lines:

>The best iPhone deals are just a click away
>Shortest contracts
>Cheapest tariffs
>Free iPhones
>Go grab yours now

I said two images, the first should just replace the bit where the Three logo is, leaving space to overwrite text on the rest of the grey area. Take a look at the site and you will see what I mean.

The second image should be the same size as the whole of the existing image, so a mini banner if you like.

Hope I have explained that properly.

Thanks in advance.

I think you probably meant something with the iPhone 4S instead of your photo, then the scrolling text on the right??

Chose against the grey you picked as it was a bit ugly, instead i went for a dark grey to match your nav and also because the 3 logo stood out on it.

Cheers guys, some real talent there. Will have a play around and see which one fits best, they are all cracking though

Repped where possible, thanks.

Tried all three and Eddiy's is my current favourite. Very eyecatching!

A couple of things I would prefer, if it is possible to change?

> I'd like to see how the image would look with a transparent background.
> I prefer "Just A Click Away" instead of "Just 1 Click Away"
The "Free iPhones" and "Go Grab Yours Now" transitions should be separate, not combined (if that makes sense).
> It should be Yours not Your's - there is no apostrophe
> Please change "click here to sign up" to "Click here to view latest deals" (all in the same colour please, I wasn't too keen on the blue bit!)

That will sort the image, my next problem is making it clickable. Sounds simple, but not for me, not in WordPress.

Anyone got 10 minutes they could spare me on MSN?

Cheers.

i will edit it in a few min, in regards to "cklickable" do u mean linking a url to it?

[alexjames]

@Furbs, you might have to go in to the code in 'appearance' > 'editor'. And then you'll probably have to stick a and href tags around the PHP section that displays that.

Looking at your code, it look's like you'll probably have to edit the sidebar.php file, then find the bit where it displays the pictures. Might be called 'Feeds'

EDIT:

Seeing as your image is displayed using CSS and a background image, you might want to have a look at this:

Thanks mate.

It's not quite that simple with Wordpress, the info that Alexjames linked too did the trick after a bit of playing around.

Once the edited gif is available, I'll be flying! Chuffed
