Extremely important..Photoshop experts requested

[FBWillie]

Sorry for the late entry... I wish I would have seen this earlier; I would have committed more time to it.  Best of luck. 

God Bless

They're not really that pixelated, this forum is apparently compressing them and I don't know how to post them any other way.  Here's the direct link so that your browser won't pixelate them:

1st banner
2nd banner

I have higher resolution ones upon request.  Any other ideas or suggestions for changing these, I'd love to help; and I still have my photoshop layered files so it wouldn't be to hard to make adjustments.

You all did a wonderful job!  Those all look amazing!

After a long day at work designing, I come home and my creative tool is turned off. I'm not a terribly huge fan of this, but if there's anything you like about it, let me know. I'll look at it tomorrow when I get more time.

now the mother has decided she doesn't want kelseys picture in the banner anymore. 

so, the coolest banner that says "Kelseys Army" wins.

May have nothing to do with it but I'd think seeing her over and over again through a pic would start to wear on a parent.  Not saying she should forget her face or anything like that, just, it's still so fresh............I know it would tear me apart.  Oh, and you guys are great for helping 

[ChiefCatchacold]

A couple versions of another try.  (second one has a gradient on the left, first shows through to the background.)

Might have another version later.  I'd be glad to adjust size, font, etc.  Let me know.


*edit: third one without the trees

I have a great scheme for the square logo. I started it here at work, and I'll shore it up tonight.

I know you said the Mother decided against the pic, But I  REALLY like these.

[ew2x4]

Ok, I did this over my lunch break. It is really rough (atleast to me), but I think I'm on to something. Let me know if I'm anywhere near close to what you and her mother wants.





Again, any feedback is welcome. Be brutal.

PS. thanks for the compliments, CatWoman.

[ChiefCatchacold]

One more idea.  Not sure it turned out like I had envisioned...

[ew2x4]

Bump.

We're actually designing a brand new layout and using one of the new banners designed here(without her pic,) but now that we're all back at work it's moving a lot slower.

Check the last video, "Tipsters to split reward 3 ways"

We've also got a professional web designer that's going to whip up a nicer site for us.  (Although we haven't done bad for a bunch of 20-21 year old kids still in college.)

I saw this before and I didn't have time to really set something up, but this could be one of those things we could get involved with in the future to help.

It looks like ChiefsCatchCold did the graphic work?

Let me know.

Yeah.  I'm not the head webmaster of this new site, just an assistant that helps out when I have time now that I'm working again.  I'll talk to the others and figure out what we need and get back to you.

And yeah, Kelsey's mom personally picked out the graphic.

btw, the original site that I created (findkelsey.com) was 2 of the top 10 google searches the day they found kelsey's body.  damn thing kept crashing, despite having four webservers that were sharing the demands.  just too little bandwidth.  eventually had to move it to the only place i knew of that could handle that kind of demand - GOOGLE.  it was probably the highlight of my IT career and I was too young/inexperienced to know really much of anything.  frustrating.

Thanks.  For now, we can add her site to our Friends list.   Ask them if they have a short description of they'd like me to use.

Ah cool, glad to help.  I hadn't even noticed because my Norton was ad-blocking /banner.* images.
