    Hi Everyone!

    Basically, here I'd like reopen our last project due to the request of a few members, so hopefully this time we'll see more entries. Also, I have changed the contest a little to make it more attractive and simple for you guys.


    I am looking for someone to create a comprehensive branding package for our company PetSTEP. We are the first and oldest manufacturer of pet ramps in the world.

    The selected design will win $100 USD with the opportunity to earn more through additional projects.

    Here is what I would like you to design:

    * 8.5 x 11 tri-fold brochure template

    I am looking for design templates. For text, pictures and existing brochure samples visit: http://customer-feedback.org/petstep.htm


    Please make design modern. If I like your style there is potential for future design work including packaging and website design. For more information about our company visit:www.petstep.com.

    Contest closes after 5 days. We reserve the right to extend the contest and/or not choose a winner if not satisfied with the results. Payment via PayPal.

    Thanks and good luck!

    Rough version of the front only.
    Do you by any chance have access to higher resolution images and possibly a vector (or at least a bigger) version of the logo?

    Ok, I'm not done with your text, or putting all diff pictures for you, I just wanted to put it up for you before this contest is up, since I spent awhile doing these, I don't want them to go to waste. Anyways the colors can be changed so can the text, and um the pictures will all be different, and I'll even put in the side if the product on the picture is OPTIONAL. If you want anything changed to make it better pm me...I can even add more dog paws, and lighter under the text?

    BTW sorry for the large thumbnails, they won't let me put small thumbnails on here yet, and um yeah the IMG is much larger then that it just had to but cut small for hosting.....

    I like the color scheme and the placements you've made for text and photos. I would like the design to have a greater sense of movement. Also, I don't like the black and white photos on the front, they make me the dogs are aging. The product is for both young and old dogs. I want the brochure to covey the theme of the active adventurous dog that goes everywhere with its owner.

    I like that you have included many images of the ramp, but it doesn't scream fun! When people look at the brochure they should want to touch the ramp and try it out. Because it allows them to take their dog everywhere. I want the design to convey the lifestyle of the dogs and their owners. Set the tone with images that show the dogs and their owners in their natural environment.

    RocksJa
    Great job getting the text on there. We have so much information to convey to our customers. I also really like how you have separated the different sections of the brochure for features, specifications and benefits. The image on the cover is really squished! Try and find a better image here. Another suggestion is to have different colors for the font and for the sidebar graphics. Try playing with complimentary typefaces for the headers to give them better definition from the body text. Great start!

    watari
    This is a great start! I love all the photos, they really showcase our product well. I'm not crazy about the brown alternating gradient background. Not sure if it's the color or the gradient that is bothering me. The product is for active dogs, play with different backgrounds and colors even patterns and textures like camouflage and mud. Make sure to keep the design modern. Solid Entry.

    I love the clean look and modern design. I need to see more panels to make further comments. But it is a great start and my favorite so far.

    one question, as I was working on the design!

    i thought, do u need 6 sheets of matter, i mean a tri-fold will be having 3 sheets at one side n 3 on the other.

    or do u need only 3 n blank at the back....

    or else i'll put my own ideas :)

    CB - it is an A4 sheet (or maybe letter size if it's US..) of paper divided into 3 columns which fold up to create a six page booklet/brochure. There are templates available at some printing sites if you need them.

    Good luck on the contest! :)

    Thank you for the comments, I realize you need to see more to make any kind of real critique of my work and I will post the entire design soon.

    Do you have higher res. images that we can use? My design ideas would call for some bigger images. If they are not available I will have to re-design accordingly so please let me know.

    ok, I'm gonna get the text diff, and make the pic smaller, we really would do better with high res pics, but its ok, um, I'll get it by tonight. I might just make the front pic smaller...and see what I can come up with...
