robertgerrish needed a new banner ad design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 17 designs submitted by 7 freelance designers.
The ad sizes required are: Leaderboard 728x90, Wide Skyscraper 160x600 & Medium Rectangle 300x250
For the purposes of judging the contest we only require one example banner, either the Leaderboard or Wide Skyscraper.
The full deliverables, however, will be all three banners.
To get a really good idea of what we are after, please view the animated header on this funky little site: http://www.ideashop.com
And to get a feel for who we are and what we're up to, please visit our site: http://www.flyingsolo.com.au
Background
These banners are to be used throughout the year across sites where solo business owners, or those considering going it alone, are spending time.

The copy and format
What follows is the text we want used, where:
1. 'working solo is' remains static
2. the additional words/phrases enter from any position
3. 'http://www.flyingsolo.com.au' clears the screen of any other text
4. 'you're not alone!' joins it
5. the final frame is held momentarily before looping
6. http://www.flyingsolo.com.au is the click-through url
Â
Â
Text to be used:
working solo is
frightening
exhilarating
daunting
liberating
life at its best
what we know
you're not alone!

- We do not envisage the use of images, but favour clever use of typography
- The end result must look sharp and professional
