ok, i got a response from a company for a job, but first they want me to send them some test promotional banners for a couple sites…
this is part of the email…
The second banner will be promoting a poker chips and poker tables website
(http://www.casino-poker-chips.com). It consists of poker clay & plastic
chips, chip sets, cases, tables, and accessories. Please use the following
marketing pitches in this banner:
Impress Your Friends for Poker Night!
Order From The #1 Poker Supplier Online!
Lowest Prices Online
Fast Delivery
Beautiful Aluminum and Cherry Wood Cases
Satisfaction Guaranteed!
i started messin around with makin some poker chips… here they are…
now my question is, do, or should i make the banners according to the site?, cause it sucks, so do i make sucky banners to match?
im assuming this is a site they just got a contract with to redo… so you think i am limited to the image and feel of the site? or i can make some nice 3d banners even tho nothing at all in the site is 3d?
I just find the blue on green navigation to be utterly ridiculous. What were they thinking? :h: If I worked for them I would probably suggest a change to that right away.
i know, i dont know what to do, cause it says, design a banner to promote this site… usually you curtail the design to fit the site image but… god, how awful…
Ive been in a situation liek that… The site is not that good and they want a banners for it… What should i do? :x
First i think, will I make a great design for a banner with no relation with the site look and feel? i decided No and have it patterned on it color combination… in my opinion, its still possible to have it looking good even the site is not that good… Anyways… im paid to do the banner and not the site theme or color scheme… Or just think its a great challenge and experience for a designer like us.
thats tough aeon, but I guess you can ask your client about this, I suggest give them mock ups, than ask them if you can have a freedom to design. Nice chip btw
because this is a “test” to see if they want to give me a second interview, i dont really want to ask the lady what the hell is wrong with this picture… she gave me an example banner to reference i guess, it has nothing to do with the site, so i guess ill kinda do something in the middle. thanks all, ill let ya know how it goes.
