Hey There DP'ers. I realize lately there have been quite a few contests that have been started and the contest holder abandons the thread and doesn't pay anyone; I've notice that there have been less and less quality contest submissions, I always pay my contest winners, Last contests I’ve hosted: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?p=12353091 http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=1428451 http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=1481086 All contests winners have received payment (except the last one, PayPal is in the process of extracting the money from my bank). Contest prizes: If you can provide PSD AND code the PSD into a wordpress theme: $150 If you can only provide a PSD theme: $95 A logo must be provided The design HAS to be green, here are some examples of sites that use a good green colour that would probably look nice on this site: http://www.livinggreener.gov.au/rebates-grants-loans/home-owners/green-loans/ http://www.environment.gov.au/greenloans/ http://www.thepowerpointtemplates.info/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/green_templates.jpg http://www.templatehelp.com/preset/pr_preview.php?i=23206&pr_code=0Zd415v8zz40cr2W6b06SkC9ge7Kir No flash is to be used in the design, just nice greens and white BG. Make it look professional. I don’t mind having a menu under the header, or a left or right sidebar, just experiment. But no 2 sidebars please, the site won’t have enough content for that. Below are the menu buttons I would like: There needs to be a prominent location for a contact number and email address, perhaps in the footer or the header. IMPORTANT All submissions HAVE to be uploaded to my webserver, so instead of using an image hosting script, please use mine. It makes it easier for everyone. Feel free to post your image here, SUBMIT YOUR DESIGNS HERE: http://wakemedia.com.au/dpcontest/ If you do not upload image to my webhost your entry will be ignored. The contest will end in about 7 days.
First of all. Thanks for the invite roflux. Can we atleast know the theme of this design? And the Logo text or something? Simple Green is not something I'm clear about.
No problem! . The site is pretty much your house getting checked out to see if it qualifies for a green loan. Relevant URLs: http://www.environment.gov.au/greenloans/ http://www.livinggreener.gov.au/rebates-grants-loans/home-owners/green-loans/ I have PM'd some of the best DP designers to enter the contest. Remember, make sure you use my image script to upload your design! linky: http://wakemedia.com.au/dpcontest/
Interesteng one, will enter. What is you client preferance- to have only PSD or to have it coded in WP? (strange quetion i know, but maybe he want someone else to code it).
Eventually it will become a website, so coded in wordpress would be best. If you cannot provide coding I will seek a PSD > Wordpress service.
But why >? If you have made nice entry and make it into jpg it just :X lose its beauty PS>mine one can be coded into wordpress but I will do it if you like it
Just to clear something up, If you provide the PSD alone you will be paid $95, if you can provide both the PSD and a coded wordpress theme folder you will be paid $150. All prices quoted are in USD. Keep the submissions going people! If you want to PM me the design feel free too.
But can we send you coded version when you choose the design.. I mean if you like mines you will tell me to code it and we are done :?
Me, or best my boyfriend (who is web designer/developer last 8 years) provide XHTML/CSS/PHP/Joomla/Magento/WordPres/Mambo/SMF coding so that wont be problem I guess u will 1st choose design and then winner will code it?
Yep, The best design will be picked. And then if the designer is able to code it all the better, if not I will pay them the $95 and organise my own developer. If your boyfriend can code your design that would work out well for the both of you . EDIT: I have received a couple of entries via PM so far, and they are overly complex, and in one instance the gradient has been stolen from a URL i provided in the opening post. So i must stress to keep the design simple! Here is an example of some work my friend produced recently, I dig this design as it is very simple (I am not saying copy this style, just helping everyone understand what the client and I want).: Looking forward to seeing some more entries!
@ Aderian a little too much similar to this, what do you think? http://psdvibe.com/2009/02/22/design-studio-layout/
Here is my design: Feedback appreciated. I am going to send this on PM and upload design where it should be. All changes can be made.
Well spotted Jasna, thanks! So far no entries have stood out to me, they are all similiar, and unfortunetly do not look professional. Here is an example of a green/white site that is high quality/professional: http://www.goodenergy.co.uk/ All future designs please don't include blogroll / categories / archives. Perhaps articles/news on the left, similar to what goodenergy.co.uk do. The menu system will be: logo info: So far Jasna is leading.
All my own work (except the grass house image, which was found on google), and once again, I cannot code it, this is just the psd version: Feedback welcome.
