[REQUEST] Banner ideas for in home computer lessons and troubleshoot?

[InHomeComputerHelp.com]

I'm stuck on ideas for graphics for a Twitter size banner. I keep it simple. Like for my academic in home tutoring xml version I have a graphic of an apple and a graduation cap. This one's got me stumped though for simple graphics.

Rather than an apple, how about an owl? When I announce user classes, I generally locate a good owl teacher image and use that for my posts. Here's one I've used. It's cute and grabs attention, since the students have devices. The only thing missing is the graduation cap on the teacher. There are some other really cute ones out there. They do get attention, when I post them.

Not a banner but I did this using Google Draw

I'd vote "no" on that for visual appeal. And if you've looked at my website, you'll know that "really snazzy visual appeal" is not my top priority, either.

It needs to be eye-catching, less pure text based, and not so "literal."

That is a great "non-literal" banner for computer and mobile device educational services, at least in this culture, where "the wise owl" is a ubiquitous signifier. They did a great job of making the owls cute, visually appealing, and carrying signifiers that are exactly what's needed in context.

That's why I liked it. Whoever did this graphic, did a great job. The only thing I'd change is the book all the way to the left. It's a purple student and the book should be an offsetting color, like blue or yellow.

I like this one, too, although it doesn't show anything PC-related.

Maybe you could use something like this. You can put your ad in the computer screen.

That would definitely be a preferable design choice, but I'd not make myself crazy in trying to tweak it because the books are "background" and the electronic/computer stuff is "foreground."

If all you've posted is public domain, or "free to use" under whatever licensing, they're great starting points. A marriage of that crowd staring at the computer screen and the owl graphic, slightly rotated to match the plane of the screen and scaled appropriately for size and skew, would make a great eye-catcher.

I don't grab graphics that are signed or licensed and no clip-art at all.

No, I don't plan to tweak it at all. I'm not clever enough to do that anyway..... lol

Here's another one I found awhile back but haven't used yet. @InHomeComputerHelp.com , you might like this one and can put your contact name & number along the backside of the "desk".

Too monochrome, not to mention too "realistic" in the owls for my taste in marketing material. Cool images, though.

I like this one, if it was more banner shaped instead of square.

Something like this could be perfect, much along the lines of how I use Edvard Munch's, The Scream.
