Sooo I just got the banner design I ordered from Jon Clark (pic)

And I noticed the tire track bg that flanks the sides of the site...

It's the same pattern GFY uses in it's background haha..

it's a stock photoshop pattern..

looks good

lmao, you asked him the other day who did the design, you thought it was bad ass...





I am sure who ever designed it used .gif's for the load speed versus heavy jpegs.. I know the owner of VanityCash and he is very particular about load speeds..

Yea, does that really matter? Are we playing some kind of error finding game here?

now, goodnight

klaze is just overly stoned... don't pay him any attention... lmao

15$ for that banner is a good price.

Anyone who says otherwise obviously doesnt know shit about the biz.


If you pay less, you're either a) getting a really shitty design done or b) going to have to wait a damn long time before getting it.


For those who say he could have done better... well... lets see you make kickass banners for 15$ a pop. Once you realize it takes you 1 hour to create a really cool banner and that you end up only making 15$ an hour, you'll do exactly as John does, make it straightforward and elegant.



and LOL at ppl asking if he created the logo... camon, its 15$ guys...

Told you...

I got to get in touch with the real world...(see avatar name;)

This more what I meant, doesn't show any real (marketing) skills...just a sting of "classic webmasters call"..50% ..etc..

No Slogan, nothing out of the ordinary.
But As I think of it, it's not the banner designer job, it's the marketing campaign guy job.

Fuck, Fuck, Fuck reality hits again...I'm off topic...


I wish I could.
Yes I get often get trapped (but strangely satisfied) in that kinda experience...
I'm a sailor, I like to be able to repair everything myself on my boat.
I gotta learn more about the "delegation" thing...

I'm afraid so.

And in case you wonder what I'm doing. I own a Fisting BDSM Extreme Sex Paysite.

When I was only shooting content, "big sponsor" offered me only 1$/minute of video. I didn't take it. I made my own paysite.

I've been in contact with the American way of doing things {time is money} when I was a commercial deep sea diver...but then over 25 years in Asia are gone...And I'm still here.

Yes, 15$ is not much in America...Fuck, Fuck, Fuck...I'm going into the outsourcing thing...and I don't know shit...no matter it's GFY and people are kind and understanding.

What I wanted to say is that I have, right now, 2 European friends living here, who would gladly make a 100 $ a day to make 10 button and 10 640x70 banners...after I tough them the basics of gif animator. lol

Yes, I can here the comments, yep, they cannot cut it in they own country so bla bla..

It's not about that..
It's more like..here for 15$ I can get a girl for 24 hours....there a banner button....lol

Culture shock...over and over again...after each and every beer..

btw, your website sucks ass...

Not bad at all.

the banner is ok but i dont see why you would want that. you are running a program man, one that looks pretty nice. why put all that time and money into a program and then go cheap with subpar designs.

hire a real design company and grab some attention. leave the cheap shit for bloggers making a sale a day who cant afford a real design.

is it worth $15 ? yes i suppose but kind of a waste because you didn't think far enough ahead.

I'm assuming the main reason you bought the banner was to get thread views using jon clarks name and thus some sig views to your program. but you forgot gfy's golden drama rule. More drama = More views = More gold. You bought a cheap banner that is basically worth what you paid for it. No op for drama = less comments = less views = less gold.

You should have overpaid for it and asked him to make you something that looked like a 4 year old did it in paintshop. Then the thread would have been filled with people laughing at jons shoddy overpriced work.

it looks ok for me

Not bad. If you're happy with it, that's really the only thing that matters

Nice clean button. Simple but effective animated text. I like it.
