Really, mine are ugly as sin.
The brief:
The header is 1600px wide by 100px high.
The header should accommodate the forum name as a clickable area that always takes you 'home'. It should also be readable.
The header needs to have some space for highlighting major things that are coming up. So you should consider a text region, and if you are doing photos consider both a non-highlight area (photo) and a highlight area (photo faded + text?).
The header should hint at where we are... if it's photos having something as subtle as English street signs are enough. It must be obviously not USA or anywhere else.
The footer needs to be a definite end of the page. And only needs to encapsulate that what is currently in the grey bar at the bottom (links to the right, server time to the left).
The total weight of images/graphics must not exceed 50KB.
Any animation should be kept subtle and only used to enhance the header/footer.
I'll pick the best design and will pay £25 for it, or 3 shirts of your choice (providing we have them).
