I am a partner in Spoken Network, an Audio Book Venture.
I need a Header graphic exactly 750 pixels wide x 150 pixels in height. Additionally, I am also looking for a complementary background that works with the header.

The main theme is Audio books. As can be seen be a variety of posts, the color scheme is very flexible. Just need something that flows.

My initial idea is to have a picture of a busy couple outside jogging, or in a store shopping wearing earphones, and another scene blending into an office environment. (Or anything that illustrates busy people and audio is okay)
I realize that this is a lot to ask for, so any suggestions are appreciated. Any ideas in this area are possible options.

My partner site, which will be activated shortly, is www.premier-audio-books.com
I would like to include “Spoken Network Partner” on the header somewhere. Also, if it looks okay and is possible I would like to include the actual web address www.premier-audio-books.com in the header. (Unless a good slogan is found)
Any Ideas for “Slogans” are also greatly appreciated.

I would also like to be able to use part of this graphic as a footer. The footer would have to be 731 pixels wide, I am unsure of the actual pixel height, but some that would be flexible.

Completion by January 5th 2007 (later if really necessary). I am not very creative, and I am open to any suggestions. . My idea may be totally unreasonable.

I will post a few concepts for you later today.

what is wide size of the background?

[brianfournier]

The backGround width is also variable, but the preference would be a small width. The reason why I say small width is because the background has to be tile-able.

And also due to the fact that the left and right sides are always in view by (Desktop Resolution - 750 Pixels)/2. So anything that blends or flows whether partially or fully in these sections is okay. Does this make any sense? Or am I making this too confusing? I hope not. I hope this helps?

Bad day for Asia, specially Indonesia... :(
the server in Asia got down, can't download and upload like usually...
I'm so sorry if I can't participate in this project, because of this situation...
I had been tried until 20 times to post this...
huh! bad day for me... :(

I'm so sorry Brian... I hope you understand about that...

Hi Giant,

I understand. Thanks for trying so hard.

Just a thought, after looking at my calender and realizing that there are alot of holidays, I will extend my requested due date from December 31, 2006 to January 5, 2007. Gives everyone some time. If this is a problem please let me know.

Regards,

Brian Fournier

I'm working on an entry :)

[heathersmith]

My idea for the header :)

Let me know if you would like me to design the footer & background as well.

Thanks!

Heather

[brianfournier]

I must say I really like what you have done its Excellent.

Can you modify the wording? (Any other ideas are welcome!)

The reason is because unfortunately the downloads are only in MP3 or WMA format. These audiobook downloads can be converted to CD and then ripped into itunes for your iPod if desired, but are not available in tape or CD format. Sorry I didn't think of mentioning that in my posting.

I would be interested in seeing your thoughts on a footer and a background as well.

Thanks,

Brian Fournier

[heathersmith]

Hello Brian,

I'm happy that you like it! :)

Here are a couple footer ideas as well as a simple gradient background.

Let me know if there is anything else.

Heather

[brianfournier]

Hi Heather,

The Header, backgrounds are very nice. As far as the footer is concerned, I like the first blue one, the one that is solid blue with white letters.

Please let me think about until tomorrow evening, and I will let you know for sure...to be fair unless something else comes up.

Regards,

Brian Fournier

[giant]

maybe it's not to late...
this is from me... :)
I'm sorry because to upload a big file it's so difficult because of Asia server problem...
and some feedback please...

thanks,
giant

This is a message for Giant,

I was also very much impressed with your work, and need something just like this for a newsletter that I am going to produce.

So, I also would like to purchase the design that you had created with one modification to the wording that you presented. Can you please add the word "NewsLetter" to the header I don't mind if you have to move things around or change things a little.
By the time you have read this I will have gone through the process of setting up payment for you.

Thanks, Brian Fournier

[heathersmith]

Brian,

Thank you for choosing my design! :) Let me know what changes you would like made and what files you will need.

Thanks!

[giant]

Brian,
Thank You very much...
Thanks for using my idea... :)
for add the word "Newsletter", the tagline still on there, or just add "Newsletter" changing the "Download Youe Favorites Audiobook", OR all that words? :)
one more, do you just use the header without the background and footer OR all?
thank you Brian, when you reply this, I will complete the design ASAP :)

Hi Giant,

Sorry for the delay. I have a few very minor revisions.
On the header can you change the word "Favorites" to "Favorite" and change "Audiobook" to "Audio Books".
Also on the header can you use a slightly smaller font for "Download Your Favorite Audiobooks".
Change the wording "Spoken Network Partner" to "Newsletter". Additionally please make the wording " Premier Audio Books" just slightly smaller with a smaller font.

Can you also make the footer double the height, with no rounded edges? I was thinking around 70 pixels high, what do you think? Also since there will be footer links, can you make the footer text on the bottom half of the footer, and smaller.

The reason why is would like this done, is so that the footer links are clealy in sight.

I don't need a background.

When the package is totally completed, I'll also need to know the "font" and the main "Color" used. I would prefer that the color be in number format. The reason is so that I can match my newsletters to these criteria.

Brian Fournier

Hi Heather,

Sorry for the delay. I have a few very minor revisions.

The footer that I like the most from the examples that you showed me is the solid blue footer with white text.
Can you make the footer double the height maybe a bit more. I was thinking around 70 pixels high, what do you think? Also since there will be footer links, can you make the footer text on the bottom half of the footer. Can you show me the revised footers, with the text on the lower, left, right, and center.

The reason why is would like this done, is so that the footer links are clealy in sight.

I have no changes for either the header or the background. If you had any other suggestions that would be great, otherwise we'll leave these as they are.

When the package is totally completed, I'll also need to know the "font" and the two main "Colors" used. I would prefer that the color be in number format so that I can match the rest of the website to the these criteria. Also what sort of options do I have for format of the header, background, and footer? Jpeg, .GIF, PSD any of these formats?

Brian Fournier

It The header looks great. But I think the word Newsletter still should be a little larger, and can it be a bit wider so that the word Newsletter Starts at the end of the letter "A" in Audio and just before the "S" in "Books". All the other font changes look great.

I prefer the purple footer as is...its simple, clean and looks good.

As far as changes are concerned, I think after this change that should be it.

Hi Heather,

I like all the footers... as I just can't decide which would be most suitable. So, All things being equal, I will say that I prefer the footer that has the text in the centre.

Everything else looks great! I don't see any need for any additional changes. Being a newbie Client what is the next step.

Hi Heather,

I looked at the files you sent me and have only two questions.

1 - Why is the footer 731 pixels wide and not 750
and 2 can you provide me the background in another format
as it does not show up on my website. Is a Gif or Jpeg format
possible.

Thanks,

Brian Fournier
