$252 for uncoded template redesign +$50 Bonus

Discussion in 'Design Contests' started by Scottsman, Jul 27, 2007.

  1. #1
    Back again for another home page edit for my aviation classifieds site, Propwash.com. Though not exactly a full redesign, I need the following done


    Requirements

    Desired Style:
    Needs to be web 2.0'ish , clean, open, and professional. I like shiny bars and shadows.


    Layout
    I'd like to generally stay with the current layout, with a few changes. The two horizontal nav bars below the header need to be combined to one bar, with buttons centered. Also, I need the log-in box above the left column to be replaced with a search box. And the left column navigation needs to be better integrated with the rest of the template.

    Desired Color Scheme
    Main color blue, with white and red(sparingly). You can use any shade of blue and red that fits into your design.


    Logo
    I'd like to keep the same logo, but you can change the color to better match your template if you need to. Psd for logo can be found here: http://www.propwash.com/images/propwash_logo_white_bg.zip

    Header
    The logo position needs to stay, but I would like to incorporate some clouds and/or an airplane into the right side.
    $50 Bonus - if you can include a super nice, static, non flash image in the header exactly like this one, except instead of jet engines, I need a prop type engine:

    Website
    PropWash.com

    Desired Tagline
    Aviation Marketplace


    Desired File Formats: psd

    These are some sites I like. I don't want them copied, but to give you some ideas.

    DJ- OK for a first attempt. No too keen on the black nav bar. I just want to use one horizontal nav bar, under the header. Thanks for the entry.

    Everyone please remember you have plenty of design time. Contest ends in 10 days. I'm looking for the best of DP :)

    ASM - Not too sure on the red color shade, but your on the right track. I like the open feeling, and the airplane photo with the propeller looks great. Nice addition with the newsletter signup box. Thanks for the entry

    Sway, Davey, Aries, Mac - Welcome :)

    Try light red. If your using it on a bar, you can do a fade from light to dark red or make a shiny effect. Thanks

    isn't it against SP rules to have two contests for same site on different sites?

    No, looks great, thank you


    Yes. just realised that :) I suppose I should change the format a bit. Slight change then. You may consider this contest different from SP. With that, I reserve the right not to award a prize. :)
