Fantastic banner designer - check this guy out
 

I want to turn you on to my banner designer. This guy is awesome. He did such a good job for me I really think I need to pimp him a little and spam his service.

You can see the banners he did for me at the link below. Keep in mind, all those banners only cost me $50.00. Including the HPA. Forgive the page - I just tossed it up.

He also just did two animated banners for a new sponsor on my site. Check them out at http://www.primanudes.com/index.php?cat=29

I paid him $10 each for those.

He does mainstream as well, and not just banners - any kind of graphics.

The best thing about this guy is I only give him very general guidelines and he comes through like a champ.

The only drawback is you need to contact him through http://www.rentacoder.com/RentACoder...thorId=1235329, which can slow the process down. I posted a "private auction" for him yesterday, and got the two banners today, so it's not bad at all. His profile page is here: http://www.rentacoder.com/RentACoder...thorId=1235329

Not too shabby for $50, but nothing REALLY special. :2 cents: :pimp

they look nice but not "that" special. Good job though :)

They work really well for this niche - some are somewhat basic, but people seem to love the "simple nude" theme

not bad at all for the price!!

Not bad for the price, however, it's your content that makes them look as good as they do. He just slapped your logo on them basically. :2 cents:

Don't get me wrong, I like 'm, I just don\t think they are "fantastic" :)

Yes, but most designers seem to be able to push out basic banners, it's not that hard.

Now what makes him a fantastic designer? :)

arghhhhhhhhh you were one step ahead of me Roald :1orglaugh

Did you look at the two he did today? I think those are pretty damn good.

I think the overall value is "fantastic" when you think about the price, the delivery time, how good he is at communicating, and the end result. With more direction they would all look like those last two, I'm sure.

they look nice

Yep. I'm not criticizing his work considering the amount you paid. But I wouldn't say he's fantastic -- the content is the sole reason they're good. He just added a couple masks and some text.. nothing special.

That is all :)

cant you find out his email or ICQ , why go through that

the only thing that matters is that YOU are happy with the work..if YOU think he is fantastic, than that is all that matters

Nice stuff but the content is really what makes those banners hot.
:2 cents:

If you are happy, but the surfer doesn't click for shit, you can be as happy as you want now but in the end you are the one crying. Hypothetically spoken ofcourse :winkwink:

It's his preference. He makes his living on rent-a-coder, so I guess he wants the positive exposure. It's a double-edged sword though.. if he fucks up a project, that will show as well. But I don't think he will. He's the type to give it away free rather than have a bad mark on his record.

great banners? that's 2 minutes work!
good content, not design work

They're not totally bad, but they're certainly not great.

But who cares what we think, TEST em and tell us about their click-thru rates (the actual point of a banner).

It's not usually about 'pretty, tidy and fontastic' - the banners which 'work' (I'm not referring to blind links) grab the viewer visually and drive them to action. These banners don't seem to do that.

totally agreed. i see here 4 mins of work per banner (hpa was 8 mins ;)). so $10 each. counting. ~$100 per hour. damn. maybe you need more banners? will give you discount like $7 each :)

nice but i not overwhelmed no

n i c e

its some decent work but I'm not blown away or anything
