Hi guys,

I'm after a banner for the top of my university final year project website (http://www.traildirt.co.uk) but I suck at photoshop!

I started a thread and got loads of people posting pictures up but I want a banner to look sporty, use the same colors as the site, but just look more professional!

The thread is here http://www.bikeradar.com/mtb/forums/viewtopic.php?t=12739612&start=0

Banner dimensions should be 968*161 if possible - any help or advice on this would be appreciated. The logo on their currently sucks as well - but I look forward to seeing any responses.

Thanks again guys :D

    Vector based image, background colour can be changed easily.

    Cheers buddy that looks great! Any chance the background could be a bit more darker, and the yellow changed to white? If you have the PSD file I can have a go at changing these if you like :-)

    Looks awesome though - especially like the graphic of the bike over the slogan!

    It's a texture saved in Photoshop and the actual banner was created in Illustrator. You can happily have the collect of images and fonts used to create it.

    Do you want the 'metallic' bit making darker?

    Damn - your good! Just pop the bike up a notch so it doesn't look like part of the "L" then I'll be dead chuffed! Kudos!

    Need to make sure you have enough border spacing on the text as in my browser its renderd really close..

    and maybe the slogan should be.. "Love Mountin Biking - Live Dirt"

    What browser are you using? I've just tried it really quickly on IE8, Firefox 4 Beta, Safari, Opera and on an iPhone too :?

    I do like the sound of that slogan actually, just need to get hold of a copy of Adobe Illustrator to play with the files :)
