Make them or have them made. That's what I do

I really do need to improve my graphics skills, but finding the time...
Besides, I don't really care much for doing it. As my brother says, I'm a "code head".

I've requested custom banners from sponsors in the past with mixed results. A few responded quickly, but with a less than stellar product. Some promised to add it to their next banner order, but never followed through. On a couple of occassions I actually got a top quality banner in a reasonable time frame.

Any recommendations for a good banner builder with fair prices and decent turn around time?

My friend (not URB) is quite well known and does them as a favor for me. I pay him $25 per header. Which I make back almost immediately

I can't really recommend anyone else because I haven't had anyone else make them for me. I am positive there are some great banner/header/footer/ people out there that are reasonable. I would ask in the "Looking for" forum and ask their prices. If they tell you the pricing is on their website I would pass...

My graphics skills are ok. Since I am a perfectionist with my own work it isn't cost effective for me to spend 5 days on a 30 min banner. LOL


EDIT::: Urb if you find the time I need some more headers made

If you are looking for one who is known to be very good to Gg&Jim members, I'd suggest you hit up Urb. He even speaks English, unlike most other designers. (They've started teaching it as a second language in the UK )
