$65 One Page (uncoded) Design for VacationPackage.net

Discussion in 'Design Contests' started by pennytrader, Aug 11, 2009.

    For this contest I only want the home page designed. However, whoever wins this contest will also be paid to design a second page ($50).

    I need an uncoded design for VacationPackage.net. This is an affiliate travel website, which focuses on providing leads for travel agents.

    I need you to take this form and design it into a header. The form cannot look exactly like the original form. It needs to have the same fields but should not look the same. Under the header needs to be designed for content.

    Also, I need a cartoon mascot in the design, similar to what you see in these websites:

    SAMPLE SITE 1
    SAMPLE SITE 2
    SAMPLE SITE 3
    SAMPLE SITE 4
    SAMPLE SITE 5
    SAMPLE SITE 6
    SAMPLE SITE 7
    SAMPLE SITE 8


    You are welcome to use stock images for the cartoon mascot. However, original work may have a better chances of winning the contest. Also, the mascot needs to be incorporated into the form. A lot like what you see in this contest (you can look at the website for this contest, since I am done deploying the design).

    I have the logo already designed. Below is the file for the logo. Please incorporate the logo into the design.

    LOGO FILES

    This contest has a time frame of 48 hours but may extend longer until a desired winner is chosen. Best of luck, and thank you in advance for your hard work.

    All questions and submissions must be submitted through the thread. I will not take any PM-ed designs or questions.

    Custom cartoon mascot+ 1 page design for $65. Its very low because cartoon mascot needs and considerable amount of hard work. I suggest you to increase the winning price to get some good design. I would love to enter if the winning price will be $100

    You do not have to do a custom cartoon mascot and use stock images instead. Though, I am sure an original design will increase your chances of winning. Also, the second page design will be $50, which will have a lot of the same properties as the home page. So, in essence, you are actually getting $115 if you win this contest.

    Abdul.D: I like how you incorporated the logo color scheme with the mascot. However, there are several things I would recommend changing. First, I don't think a super rat will work as a mascot. A rat generally gives off a negative image. Second, I recommend reworking the form. The form cannot be exactly like the original form. It needs to have the same fields but should not look the same. Finally, the overall design is too purple. Hope the feedback helps.

    Abdul.D: I don't mind purple, just not so dominant.

    Abdul.D: You are probably safe with doing a human cartoon. If you look at my past contests you will see the winners of the contests always used people instead of animals. Thanks for your questions, it helps to clarify the project!

    Abdul.D: Nice graphic but is it royalty free? If not, I would be unable to use it for a commercial website. Also, the mascot needs to be incorporated into the form. A lot like what you see in this contest (you can also look at the website for this contest, since I am done deploying the design).

    MohammadHaja: Thank you for your submission and nice job on the form. I recommend adding a large "Continue" button at the end of the form. To answer your question, I do need an area for text to go after the form (this is where the article concerning the Austrian Airlines offer would be). Also, the navigation is too large and the logo with the title seem a bit redundant. However, don't be discourage because you are on the right track. I just recommend thinking of a way to incorporate the logo, navigation, and form together. Here are a couple of good website which do this:

    EXAMPLE WEBSITE 1 (THIS IS THE BEST EXAMPLE)
    EXAMPLE WEBSITE 2
    EXAMPLE WEBSITE 3
    EXAMPLE WEBSITE 4
    EXAMPLE WEBSITE 5

    Dakouten sent me a message that he was having troubles downloading the logo using Firefox. I have also uploaded the logo file to the below website. Please let me know if anyone is having any issues getting the logo. Thanks.

    ANOTHER SITE TO DOWNLOAD THE LOGO
