I need a nice clean design for a site I'm building, here's the specifics:


The domain is www.over-supply.com (there is very little content on the site right now)
The website is going to be selling products similiar to what is currently shown on the website (mostly household goods, but it will have some electronics, pet products, etc).
The website is going be a discount shopping ecommerce website
I would prefer a 3 column layout (first column containing categories/site navigation, middle containing page content, and right column containing shopping cart/newsletter signup/account management stuff)
Your design needs to include a nice professional logo in the top-left corner.
I would like to have 3 icons in the top-right corner (Home, My Account, Shopping Cart), but it's not vital if you cannot fit these in.
Do not base your design on the current design. I am not happy with it.


The winner will recieve $100 via Paypal and permanent credit on the website when it launches (there will be a page containing a brief profile of you/your services, your logo, and a link to your website or contact information).

Post your design here to be entered into the contest. I'd like to pick the winner within the next week.

Do you have any color preferences on the theme?

None preferred, but the design has to be pleasant to look at. I don't want to see something like neon pink or any other eyesore.

Personally I favor dark blue or deep purple colors, but it's not required or expected. I have seen amazing things done with various colors, so I try not to limit anybody doing design work to a specific color usually.

Alright, I'll try to cook up something good. I'm still rather new to web design/development.

I'll be submitting my entry soon, i have some questions though?
Will you be using a shopping cart software for this?
which on if any?, there are a few things to consider when designing for zen or osc.

Thanks

It will most likely be using creloaded oscommerce (http://www.creloaded.com), but I closely considering AgoraCart (http://www.agoracart.com) due to some of the more advanced features that it has.

You don't need to worry about the specific cart software, I am doing alot of custom coding work and shouldn't have any issues fitting in a design. Besides, the winning design will be split by me into the actual HTML template.

I look forward to seeing what you come up with :)

Forgot to add that this is a low res screen shot, so it doesn't look that good (on the gradients)

Me = Very Impressed. I wasn't sure what kind of quality design I'd be seeing out of this contest, this has definately set the bar high for other entrants to reach.

My noob skills can't compete with that.

So you only want the psd design? I might enter then if that's the case
PS when does this contest end? because I won't have much time until Friday, or Saturday.

Thanks

I'm thinking of picking the winner early next week (tuesday'ish). To enter you just need to post a screenshot of the design, but I want the actual PSD file if you win the contest.
