$60 One Page Design For OnlineCollege.cc (Uncoded)

Discussion in 'Design Contests' started by Digital Noise, Jan 22, 2009.

  1. #1
    All questions and submissions must be submitted through the thread. I will not take any PM-ed designs or questions. This way I don't have to repeat myself and the general contest can benefit from your talent and insights.

    I have held almost eighty design contests on digital point and I have always awarded a winner. I also try to be very attentive in giving you prompt and helpful feedback. Obviously, since we are all in different time zones this doesn't always work as planned. However, do know that while this contest is going on your design is my top priority.

    WEBSITE SPECS

    I am looking to design my Online Education website. Below I have several examples of different websites I like. It is important to know that the header must be designed with a form in mind if you want to win. I have found that the insurance industry does a better job at incorporating a form into a header, so a lot of my examples below come from that industry (though there are a few from the online education industry as well).

    Below is an image that shows the fields that must be used in the form. Please do not copy this form exactly, since it is belongs to a competitor, and it would be good to look different :D. I would like the "Next" button to be a very large web 2.0 button. Also, the text needs to be a lot bigger.

    I do need a sidebar on the left or right side of the design (it's up to you which side it is on). Other than that the design is completely up to you.

    This contest has a time frame of 72 hours but may extend longer until a desired winner is chosen. Best of luck, and thank you in advance for your great talent.

    FEEDBACK

    @JMN: I agree this is really good. Just a few suggestions. First, I really like the circle with "FIND A DEGREE IN 30 SECS," however, can you show me what it would look like with "30 SECONDS." If that is not possible, than, "FIND A DEGREE QUICKLY," or some other variation. Also, could you design the sidebar to look a little more like a blog sidebar. Finally, there needs to be a footer to the whole design.

    @bizzard: Thank you for your submission. I don't think the logo and the design match. I need the site to have a little more character.

    Alright,

    About the sticker, I put in 'secs' because 'seconds' did not fit unless I reduced the font size. I will replaces "secs" with "quickly".

    What exactly do you mean by blog sidebar? Do you mean the content, or a specific design? Maybe a flat color instead of a gradient? Let me know.

    And for the footer, yes, I had planned to add one but forgot about it before submitting :rolleyes:. Do you want it full width, or content-width?

    @JMN: Thanks for making these changes. I figured you did "secs" because "seconds" didn't fit so well. Let's see what "quickly" looks like. For the sidebar I am talking about the specific design. I will be coding this into wordpress and when I send it over to the programmer he needs to know what the different title bars in the sidebar look like, not to mention bullet points. Basically, you are designing what will show up when I add widgets into the sidebar. For the footer I would like it to be the width of the content. Thanks for your great and quick work.

    Just so everyone knows I will not be able to access digital point for the next 16 hours. I will get feedback up as soon as I am back online.
