semanticflow has an efficient process of eliciting the essentials she needs to create your design the way you need it. She got 80% of what I was looking for on her first revision and then nailed the exact look I needed on revision two. All in less than 3 days.
Attached is the design (watermark added by me).
Thanks Mousumi. Just sent a request for another design plus half payment, and then a third one is on the way in an hour or so.
