    @swaymedia:

    Thanks for the entry! I really like the clean and professional look :)

    The one section that need improving is the top of the page. It is a big improvement on the page I have at the moment, but still needs more visual impact. I think that the 'editors rating icon' needs to stand out more. Instead of the text to the right of the 'editors rating' I would prefer a bullet list of (2 or 3) pros and cons with some visual impact. Perhaps a thumbs up/arrows etc. I'm open to suggestions!

    is that what you mean by top of the page, or just the top of the review page?

    @swaymedia:

    Wow that was quick! Thanks for the submission.

    Just to make myself clear, I do not need the header / logo / navigation redesigned. In case I caused some confusion, what I meant by:
    is the section from the text: `Poker Stars Review' down to the `download now' button.

    I know that the origional header does not look too impressive, but it is not required for this competition. Sorry for the confusion!

    i had designed you the whole layout before hand until i realised that all you wanted was the review page.


    any way how about now:

    The $100 is more prominant which I like, but unfortunately the overall feel is still not quite what I want. I don't like the green diagonal lines you've added either.

    @Nick:

    Thanks for your submission. The 3.9/5 star is fantastic, but the whole page still feels a bit unprofessional. Perhaps there are too many borders and gradients. Something simpler may have more impact.

    @Nick:

    Thanks for the submission, but I still don't think the it has the feel I'm after. The green background makes some of the text hard to read - I think a white background would work better. I think the border around the screenshots and the pros/cons should be thinner, and without the gradient. I apologise if I'm being a too critical, but I don't think the design is refined enough yet.

    I'm still accepting entries for about 28 more hours, so I'll look forward to seeing your design!

    @Nick:

    Your design with a white background is better, but still lacks refinement. It's a real shame as a think the star you have made is awesome!

    Just a reminder that you've got only 24 hours remaining to get your entries in. So far, I have only had 2 people enter and I will pay the top 4 people!

    Thanks again to Nick252 and swaymedia for their submissions :)

    I'm looking forward to seeing it! I'll be going offline in about half an hour, so I apologise if I take a while to give feedback.
