$50 Graphics Contest | 48 hrs

I need you to beautify the attached mockup of the music player.

Style guideline: web 2.0, glossy, bright. Player must be likable by girls. It must not be high tech, metallic, sci fi and so on.

Functionality guideline: Use the exact functionality that is on the attached player. You can reposition the buttons any way you want, and design them any way you like, but all the elements must be there.

Unless you are a very good at pixel graphics, I do not expect you to do the icons yourself. Please use icons from http://istockphoto.com/ (they have great previews) and let me know the File Number, so I could purchase the rights.

Examples of play button, which I like:
http://www.rhapsody.com/home.html - take a look at the play button, it's glossy.

Technical requirement: minimal heght of the player must be at least 140px. There are no strict restrictions on players width, but it should be somewhere between 300px and 400px.

Second runner will get $30




UPDATE: the contest is for design of the player only! no actual coding is necessary.

 

i need just design it or code it and do it too?
if its just graphic here it is

 

offiri0,

no actual coding is necessary. all I need is a graphics file.

 

So far so good. Made everything myself so far. Feedback?

 

ok thanks
feedback on my entry will be appriciated

 

Here is my entry :

 

All parts can have the color changed. It's all made from scratch and photoshop presets, and uses shapes so that for the most part it can be scaled as needed.

First a jpeg for full quality appreciation



With an invisible background it would look something like this (its kinds lossy as a gif, but in flash I guess it would not be)

And here it is as gifed.

 

Mine:

I never thought it's so hard x_X
I went for a colorful look - I didn't like to think all girls love pink and only pink.
I was going to add flowers to the side until I realized I couldn't draw xP
I used the phone icon from the site you gave us. Number is 5286492.

 

Here is my idea.
