All Right, so you're a fanatic about flyfishing, and you need to produce a outstanding website to show the public your genius. Or you're expecting to sell your exceptional flyfishing products, or to market your accomplishments in your neighborhood as a flyfishing guide. Whatever your rationality for needing to create a site, there is one matter you truly need to dress it up: a flyfishing header graphic that stands out from the rest. There are two basic means to get one: hire someone to plan a beautiful unique header for you, or create it yourself.

The Hiring Route

If your gifts lie more in sportfishing than in graphics, you in all likelihood should go forward and engage a pro to design your flyfishing header. Start with getting an idea of the particular graphics you want: do you have images, or do you want a more lively look? Is there a focus you want to promote your business enterprise, or are you open to ideas? Is it just a header, or are you searching for something that goes up one side and across the top, hugging your content?

Once you know what you want to see, it's time to line up your graphic designer. You can search in dozens of places: Elance, for instance, furnishes you with independent graphic designers for hire at reasonable prices. RentACoder is another first-class site to hire freelance 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 straightaway.

If money's not a problem, locate some internet sites with great looks - not only fishing sites, but other action sites as well - and email the site owner, requesting him to recommend the artist to you. It's rare that they will turn you down.

Consider, though, if you're going to have somebody create your graphics for you, that you may save some money in the long run and end up with a genuinely great looking site if you employ them to do an entire theme, with buttons and smaller variations of your flyfishing header graphics, instead of only 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 has great graphical capabilities, optimize pictures for the Web, and Paint Shop Pro has a tremendous utility named a picture tube that drops series of images on your sheet for you. You can find great images 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 effective planning, you may be able to design a flyfishing header that fits your purposes just fine.
