best website layout in photoshop $30

Discussion in 'Design Contests' started by alex894, Sep 10, 2009.

    Hello,

    I'm working on one of my upcoming projects, an eBay affiliate site. I can't lay out a template in PhotoShop or any program for the life of me, and looking for inspiration.

    I find that working with one designer alone is very limiting in terms of concepts creation, and that's why I'm posting here today to pick your brain for ideas.

    This contest is for conceptualizing a layout in photoshop ONLY, I don't need coding. If you code, that's fine, if you win, you will code the template and be compensated for it.

    A logo is already developed:
    [​IMG]
    If you think you can take a stab at making it look better, by all means do; maybe your idea is an improvement, you'll get a bonus of $10 for doing so.

    I'm thinking of a 2.0-ish look with shining/GLASS objects, not gloss or fade, blue, black, white, some green and yellow for colors,

    The use of the site mimics the functionality of eBay, since it uses eBay's API anyway, so more or less, it will use a search bar and menus on the side just like eBay.. I want to see products being listed on page, and a few vertical banners on the right hand side of the page.

    and PLEASE, no designs that look like a chopped/hacked template from a template site.

    $ 30 via Paypal

    Let me know if you have any questions, here, in this thread and please do not submit revisions through PM as it is unfair to those who participate.

    Thank you, and let's see them :D:eek:

    'not gloss or fade, blue, black, white, some green and yellow for colors'

    its not very clear, you dont want gloss and fade effect and all colors u mentioned or u just dont want gloss and fade?

    and when u mention ebay, should it look like ebay page (where u have all items listed) or like auction page?

    can u show some examples?

    I wanted the same..
    By the way I made a logo concept and he liked it..
    But I'm really confused about the other part...
    So if there is maybe 50/50 - 50for the logo and 50for the other part...
    We can do something...//will try to make the page when there are more details...

    read the whole thing

    I suck at punctuation
    You guys never heard of BANS? :confused:

    here's an example:

    http://www.bestqualitywatches.com/mens-seiko-watches/mens-seiko-coutura-watches

    Only make the side menu on the left, and on the right add some dummy banners 160x500px.

    http://www.cheapdvdplayers.net/

    and this without the google ads, also add listings in the same format as the first link I mentioned.

    http://www.turboguides.com/

    Jesus, I didn't think this was sooo unclear.

    Ask all the specific questions you want

    someone break the ice and I can lead you from there, easy as that.

    I don't know what else to tell you, did you want me to draw it for you and pay you also?

    Ok,
    now it is understandable..
    I don't know about the others but when I started 1st I thoght that I have just to remake that logo...
    Then I understood this thing and I'm still a bit confused but I know what to do :p
    And about the colours - I think the ~brown/red from the first post is nice ?
    Also ... what will you sell?

    Oki :p
    But 1st - before I'm doing it can you use paint to circle the things you want

    I think categories can stand like they are /please write which are they-will use/ and I will make navigation bar :p
    Will it have support for shopping cart currencies and languages - and I think comments will be good option - write that it is good product and so so...
