All Right, so you’re a fanatic about flyfishing, and you wish to create a distinguished website to show the world your genius. Or you’re looking to sell your exceptional flyfishing products, or to market your skills in your area as a flyfishing guide. Whatever your rationality for wanting to create a site, there is one matter you truly want to dress it up: a flyfishing header graphic that stands out from the rest. There are two primary ways to get one: engage somebody to plan a beautiful unique header for you, or make it yourself.

All Right, so you’re a fanatic about flyfishing, and you wish to create a distinguished website to show the world your genius. Or you’re looking to sell your exceptional flyfishing products, or to market your skills in your area as a flyfishing guide. Whatever your rationality for wanting to create a site, there is one matter you truly want to dress it up: a flyfishing header graphic that stands out from the rest. There are two primary ways to get one: engage somebody to plan a beautiful unique header for you, or make it yourself.
The Hiring Route
If your talents rest more in fishing than in graphics, you in all likelihood should go ahead and engage a pro to design your flyfishing header. Lead Off with getting an idea of the particular artwork you want: do you have images, or do you want a more animated feeling? Is there a direction you need to promote your business, or are you open to ideas? Is it merely a header, or are you searching for something that goes up one side and across the top, hugging your message?
Once you recognize what you want to see, it’s time to line up your graphic designer. You can search in scores of places: Elance, for example, furnishes you with freelance graphic designers for hire at reasonable prices. RentACoder is another first-class site to hire independent talent, or GetAFreelancer. At these sites, you can either put your job out for bid, and select the freelancer you like the best, or you can look through hundreds of portfolios and solicit a freelancer directly.
If money’s not a problem, locate some internet sites with great looks - not just fishing sites, but other action sites as well - and email the site owner, requesting him to recommend the artist to you. It’s uncommon that they will turn you down.
Consider, though, if you’re going to have somebody produce your artwork for you, that you may save some money in the long run and finish up with a really great looking site if you employ them to do an entire theme, with buttons and smaller versions of your flyfishing header graphics, instead of just a flyfishing header.
Do It Yourself
If you’re a do-it-yourself kind of individual and you do possess some artistic talent, there are some excellent programs out there that you can use to make your flyfishing header artwork. Begin, though, by charting out exactly what your header should look like, using graph paper to keep you in line. When you have a clear vision, start shopping.
For photo-realistic effects, you can’t beat Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro. Either delivers great graphical capabilities, optimize pictures for the Web, and Paint Shop Pro has a fantastic utility named a picture tube that drops series of images on your sheet for you. You can discover great pictures at sites like istockphoto or stock.xchng, or you can find free GIF images at sites like gif.com to use in your header. With good planning, you may be able to design a flyfishing header that suits your intentions just fine.
