Looking for new Website Banners!

[eric]

Sorry, ladies, I've been swamped! It's been craaazy busy since the new website launched

I think people are spreading the word about the new price mechanism. And how awesome and unique our liquids are.

OK, so essentially what I was asking for is to have the products in the image I posted before copy/pasted on the current website banner. So essentially magic wand or whatever it is graphics people do to separate the products in the photograph from the background, then do the same with the products on the current banner, then paste the products from the photograph on the current banner. Does this make more sense?

I really like this New York images, but I want to do something different with NY than I did with the other City/State flavors, namely because New York is the only City/State name that isn't a tobacco. I'd really like to see images that sum up the flavors itself more than anything.

I'm gonna stick my nose in here because I liked this one CJ did... and I don't know if you missed it or not.
(I believe you said it was a 'York' patty flavor)

Isn't that what CJ did here??????

The curves of this one are not congruent with the other category/box curves on the website. I'm asking for the untampered background of the current banner. Just switch the items.

I see....calamity where are you?

Oh, I'm here! Because of all the shading and photography shadows, it is difficult to recreate the look without access to the original layered hi-rez file. Copy and paste of a 72 dpi webshot just loses too much detail in the gradient. The corners can have a different degree of roundness but that is about the best I can do. Just saying.....

I know this is kind of crude, but if he likes it maybe someone with better skills can go for it...

I just thought that this might be a way of incorporating the theme of his other City pics/labels,
with the type of flavor for the NY one...

Kitty, I like the background image with the mint accent! Is it pixelated at 800X800?

 

[spacekitty]

The one I have is only 255X240 and a reverse image search came up with zero...

The NY lettering I got from a search on vintage postcards!!

Needs to be 800x800 px so try increasing to get close and see if the quality degrades. If not, then I think it will be a candidate. But then Eric has a vision of what he wants.

Bump bump ....

I'm not too worried about the shadows, honestly. There aren't any shadows on the current banner items.

 

[CalamityJan]

I can work on the main banner tomorrow. Any evaluation on the images for the new flavor?
Any new ideas, Laura, Kitty??

 

[eric]

CJ, I really like the York approach you took, there. If you could maybe zoom in a bit on the product and get rid of the " New York " text, that would be ideal.

 

[CalamityJan]

Exact gradient and font color and style match, corners rounded to 5 px, tried to keep a bit of the shadows in for depth.
Is this the one? Fingers XXXXX

 

[CalamityJan]

Verdict, eric?

 

[Lauralie]

Looks like this one has officially been abondoned..........

I declared Jan the winner yesterday afternoon, actually. There just wasn't as much excitement built up on the banner as I'd hoped for! We only raked in around 5 entries, but they were all really well done. Way better than I could do! I know nothing about Photoshop, hence the contest
