125$ Site Design Contest - Payments by Paypal - 7 Days

[unski84]

There are so many talented and creative people here in Digital Point so I decided to offer you a design competition.

1. Price 125$
2. Payments by Paypal
3. PSD only needed

Current layout can be found here (http://www.beatbookies.com/arbs). Currently it is only a quick template modification with new header and I would like to get more professional design to attract new customers.

Some specifications:
1. I would like Log in box + navigation links to stay on left.
2. New header with text Beatbookies.com - sports arbitrage service.
3. Keep it clean and simple, but professional.
4. I like to blueish color scheme of front page of BeatBookies.com (http://www.beatbookies.com) and it would be nice that it would have somewhat same colours
5. If you have better idea of colours and layout, please send me your idea. I am not a designer I just code :)
6. Time: 7 Days (If the design I like very much is created before this, I have right to close the competition earlier)

Please let me know, if you have any other questions.

Hope the see some creative results!

[unski84]

And since this is my first competition and I would like it to be popular, I will offer 5$ for the three first design posters who have read the specifications and understood the basic idea what I would like for the design.

hi here's my try..

changing the color of box a bit

[unski84]

One more clarification:

I will need new layout to this sports arbitrage section:
http://www.beatbookies.com/arbs/

Not to the BeatBookies.com front page, I am quite satisfied with it already.

So in this layout is only needed navigation to:

Members log in box:

Links to:

* Sign Up
* Contact us


Information

* Sports arbitrage
* Features
* Status and pricing
* Bookmakers

[unski84]

renderwork:I do not like this layout. Does not look really professional . Read the spesification again -> check the current layout and get the idea of needed navigational links.
jnjnnino Nice start, 5$ earned. PM your payment details. Why is there a "?" log in button. To you and all the other , I would like Log In text to changed "Members area". Also no need for a "Search" field and I am not planning to add any advertisement banners to right.

[unski84]

Power Slave and DrZapp nice work. 5$ earned, PM your payment details.

Power Slave:
I like the design and the header.
Left column is too wide, and need more wider text area. Like DrZapp has made
I have sub pages that have much text
http://www.beatbookies.com/arbs/?page=arbitrage

DrZapp - Like this design too. It is my favourite so far!
I would to like to see another version of the header with more sports related theme.
I like to left are image with text Arbitragesports , but I do not like those Balls and how is this image of field related to sports.

Change text "Beatbookies.com/arbs" to "BeatBookies.com"
And change text on button to "Log in"

[noobdesigner]

will submit my entry soon. . .

[Power Slave]

Revised entry:

Left column is thinner and the main column is quite a bit thicker. Feedback appreciated again

[unski84]

yugo Great, hope to see your entry soon!

Power Slave . Thanks for the modifications. It is better now. Some small changes I would still like to see.
Modify the header that the ArbitrageSports text area of the image has same width than the left column. Bookmarks -> should be Bookmakers.

Power Slave and DrZapp both have very good designs, but hope to still see some more participants in this contest!

Great! You can edit the existing to logo, create a new logo or anything you like.
The header even does not need to have text/logo arbitragesports anywhere. Text BeatBookies.com or BeatBookies.com - sports arbitrage service is enough.

[DrZapp]

Here we are:

[unski84]

DrZapp thanks for the modifications. I like this design much, but I still do not like the header.
Now there is too much stuff on the left above text arbitragesports and I do not like this image of young baseball player.

Change the text Beatbookies.com/arbs to BeatBookies.com and lighter the main text a little bit.

Thanks for your work!

[unski84]

yugo Thanks for your entry! I would like to see some modifications on header. No need for search box, so I would like it to be removed and change the text Beatbookies.com elsewhere and lower the "logo" arbitragesports

[ritesh2408]

ritesh2408 would love to see version with other colors too.
noobdesigner. Overall score is good. Or I would say you are in TOP 3 in this competition. I like the register now box, good idea. Text should be lighter and I would like this better with little lighter blue colors.
neilparnham VERY good work, we have a new leader in this competition. This design means much more coding work for me, but I think it would be worth it.
Some modifications I would like to see -> I was owner of domain name arbitragesports , that´s why the text and old logo but currently text I would more like to see in design is "BeatBookies.com - sports arbitrage service".

Bet On boxing? Would like to get something more related to this sports arbitrage stuff but I don´t really know what. Some thing like Bet on sure bets :) Image in this area is perfect idea since know the size of this "link section" is perfect for new links which are shown after user have logged in.

Thanks for participating and waiting for the next entrys which will beat neilparnham work.

[Tallum]

Well i guess everyone know the winner of this contest, but still adding my design(did not finished the center content of the template,because of seeing neilparnham's work) ^_^

I do understand what Zeba5 means. Every designer has their own style. I mean, it's true you would probably be able to pick out a Neil Parnham design from a bunch of others, but only if you are regularly viewing all of his work. I have my own style too and favoured fonts, same as everybody. It's not really a bad thing, so long as what you do is good work. The 3 samples he posted above do have similar traits and styles, but they aren't really similar though I agree a lot of his work is, as is mine and probably yours too, Zeba5.

PS. Neil's design is certainly worth more than $125, and I dunno why he doesn't just stay on 99designs with the proper money! ;)

Nice design, but looks too cluttered. You could use some space in between and also reduce the elements in the template. But a sure winner. Nice work :D

[zeba5]

yeah well, it's hard to show because you seem to remove your links after a contest ends (i don't want to mean that you did it on purpose).
Those three examples worth nothing, of course you are not going to do the same template all the time.
I think davey quite got my point, we all have our own style but it looks like i've already saw that template before, of course, header and minor stuff were changed.

Anyway, i'll submit my entry soon.

[unski84]

I´ll agree to Daveboy that every designer have their own style and in this neilparnham case it does not bother me if he had created similar template before because it is such a good work.

It is propably hard to beat neilparnham work and after seeing his modifications neilparnham will be the winner of this competition. Unless Zeba5 or someone else creates something even better while I wait these modifications.

Big thanks to all who have send their entry to this competition

Here is my TOP 5 ranking:

feedback please.

[Kewlol]

Some feedback could help me refine my entry. Thanks.

[unski84]

yogo Header is now much better but other changes from my feedback (remove searchbox etc) has not yet done. And overall this design just can´t compete with the best ones in this competition
Kewlol Like your design. It´s very good (clean , simple, professional). And I like that you are one of the first to understand to change the arbitragesports text to BeatBookies.com - sports arbitrage.
I would love to see this with totally new header image, the current header modification work looks too stretched. Your arbs? What is that. Kewlol is third place in my favourite list.

[unski84]

CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED

And the winner is....

Surprise surprise....

neilparnham
