Ahmed Dawn Dot Come Banner & YouTube Banner Redesign

Not exactly sure when I had my last banner designed, but it’s been a few years and it’s time to refresh. My current banner was nice and visually pleasing, but I wanted to have something similar, but better.

I put up a work order on a freelancer site and within less than an hour I received 50 designers interested in work. It was difficult to pick, so it took me some time. But after sorting through all the responses, I decided to hire two designers for different perspectives.

I mentioned that I want a banner similar to my current one with different elements and designing. The 1st designer seemed to get it and sent me a beautiful new banner that I liked right away. However, the 2nd designer kept sending me something totally different and I had difficulty explaining what I wanted to him.

After some corrections and communicating back and forth, I decided on the 1st designer’s banner. The 2nd designer failed to come up with anything I liked, so I sent him what the 1st designer did and asked him to change the background picture only. The reason I chose two designers was because I knew one of them would not be up to what I was looking for.

Finally, after copying the 1st designer, the 2nd designer was able to come up with something I like, although he kept making mistakes and I had to correct him many times.

I am posting both designs here, so you can see what they look like. I will be using both designs and will change them back and forth.

I have no plan to change the banner any time soon, but who knows? Maybe after 3 or 4 years I might want something different – we will see.
