Banners Designs:


This was my first design,
using the idea of time and the name of my blog.
I like the idea of the clock but dislike the layout
and font type for the lettering.






I think the font of this more.
Especially the word 'production'
I'm not quite keen on the arrow,
I was thinking the idea of the clock hand arrows.









I like this design the best.
The circle symbolises the time, the font is
the same as the above. I like how it can be
small or big and still look effective.
