Graphic designer volunteer needed!

[pelf81]

A Malaysian company that serves advertisements (Nuffnang) has agreed to run a "charity ad" on a local charity - Eden Handicap Service Centre, the same charity I represented during the recent Blogathon - but I need to submit to them banners of three different sizes so that they could use those banners when serving the ads.

The problem is, I am not a designer, and I can't design. I can write, and talk and joke and cry, but I can't design. Do we have some graphic designers in this forum? Could somebody help me out? More information can be found on my recent blog post.

Any help would be very much appreciated

Hi, could I know the details for the events and the work needed? I mean it is good to help in charity work.

If you do not mind. I could assist to help to design the banner for you although I am not a graphics designer.

By the way, you have a nice blog...

Cheers!

Hi Patrick, thanks for inquiring, and for the compliment But I'm not sure what you meant by "details". As far as I'm concerned, the advertisement agency will need the banners in 3 sizes (because they serve ads in 3 different sizes) and whenever a blog (or publisher) does not have an ad, the system will automatically put out those charity ads.

So yeah, according to Timothy of Nuffnang, all I need to do is to get him the banners in those 3 specific sizes, and he will serve those ads.

But like I said, those banners do not have to be elaborately designed. You may see an example of the skyscraper ad unit on my blog.

Hi, thanks for the queries.

Actually, I will need a few thing from you...
1) The actual size of the banners (3 different sizes - the pixels required)
2) Any photos (the charity event photos, etc) and wording / statement for the banners

Cheers!
Patrick

Hi Patrick

(1) The actual sizes of the banners that are needed are as follow:

Leaderboard — 728 X 90 (max size 30 KB)
Large rectangle - 336 X 280 (max size 30 KB)
Skyscraper — 160 X 200 (max size 18 KB)

(2) As for photos and catch statements, I can't think of any. I'm sure Eden Handicap would ask me to think about it if I asked them. Furthermore, this is supposed to be a surprise for them.. Can you help me with this, please..?

Hi, I have dropped you an email with the 3 banners attachment.
Hope that you will not mind as I am not as good as those professional graphics designer.

Cheers!

Just a follow-up.

GeminiGeek and Patrick responded to my call, and volunteered to help me design some ad banners for a Malaysian charity. I have already submitted the designs to the advertising agency, and they have already started serving the charity ads!

Thanks again, GeminiGeek and Patrick! =)

I received the most heart-breaking email yesterday.

Tim @ Nuffnang, the ad agency that served the charity ads for Eden Handicap Service Centre said that they have been receiving countless comments that the ads were "ugly and old-fashioned" and he requested that I get those ad banners modified ASAP..

The thing is, I can't design. I wished I could, but I can't. And I desperately need help here. I don't want to put Tim in a difficult position, but I don't want to give up such a wonderful way of promoting Eden Handicap as well.

Could anybody pleasee.. Help me design "prettier" ad banners for Eden Handicap Service Centre?? Pleasee..?
