Flash Banner Designs for www.BMX.co.uk

http://www.BMX.co.uk - UK BMX Bike Specialists

We launched BMX.co.uk only last year so we passionately want to get BMX Bikers in the UK scene to take notice of us, and begin trusting us to look after them and support the sport.

So we have some exciting plans for advertising with Extreme.com and Mpora.com - to do so we need some awesomely impressive designs to catch the eyes of our target audience.

Whoever we use we'd like to build potential future partnership with also on other projects.

Go for it guys, I'm excited to see what you'll come up with!

We want all those BMX Bikers out there in the UK to get excited about what we have to offer them!

We're looking for those Kids, Teens, Pros and Mums all looking for BMX bikes out there in the UK to take notice of us and buy from us too!

MAJOR UPDATE: File sizes must be under 300kb, but preferrably under 100kb if at all possible.

The aim of these adverts is to drive sales. We want AS MANY click throughs as possible. So the advert really needs to catch the viewers eye. It'll be promoted and advertised specifically on the BMX Section of Extreme.com, we may also use it for Mpora.com also

See the exact pages it'll be showing on here: http://extreme.com/BMX - look at the page and see what colours will stick out best on the page. I'd personally suggest white backgrounds to the adverts to contrast with the black background of the page, and perhaps red writing??

Other responses to questions received:
How much movement do you want to have in this banners?
I haven't got a specific amount of movement in mind, the important aspect is that it catches the eye and then promotes to buy a BMX or parts from BMX.co.uk

Just changing pictures or would something like a short animation of movement also be interesting for you?
Short Animation would be preferred to just changing pictures as I believe this will catch the attention of the viewer more effectively.
 
And also do you prefer every banner to be animated, since a lot of head-banners are animated while the ones below are still pictures?
That's entirely up to you as a designer as to what you feel would be the most effective.
