If you would like that Web 2.0 , glossy look -  I have the banners for you. I'm working hard to compile a database of design elements that you can easily integrate with the already available styles and layouts.

These banners will look nice on the "CLEAN SLATE" and "BARE NECESSITIES" styles. These banners have the recommended 900x125 pixel dimensions; which m...
