Paid Account--Layout help?

Finally got a paid account on here (so many new icons! Yay!), which means, I want to change my layout. (Yes, I know. Again.) But this time, I'd really like to get away from all the premade ones and have a layout actually designed for this journal. Since, with the paid account, I can do that now. (Again: Yay!)

The problem? I have no idea how to design a layout.

Is there anyone on my flist who knows how to design layouts and is willing to help me out? Or if not that--anyone know where I can find someone to design me one?

I'm already working on my header images. (Yes, images.) I want to rotate header images just like I'm doing for this layout now, only this time I'm bringing all of my favorite fandoms into it. The headers will all have the same designs, but different people as the main image. I'm really liking what I've got, and I know how the coding for the rotating images works, I just have no idea where to even start with the layout.

Help?

Supernatural- Swap Meat

I'm having a hard time watching this episode right now because I keep having to pause it so I can giggle.

Headers

I want an animated icon of Sam slurping that banana daiquiri. That image just cracked me up.

So, I've got like, six banner images made for the layout I want. How many rotating do you think would be too many? 'Cause I'm having so much fun making these.

The basic design is this:



And then I added images from different fandoms and changed some of the color variations, so that when it rotates it sort of looks like only the fandom images change. Here's two examples:



I'm really excited about these, 'cause it's been a while since I've done anything creative in photoshop.

What do you think?
