$40 Opt-In Box/Squeeze Page - Must Compliment Existing Design!

Discussion in 'Design Contests' started by smarketing, Jun 28, 2008.

  1. #1
    Hi All,

    I have an existing minisite design template, and I need a graphical optin box/squeeze page design.

    The header/footer/layout is here:

    http://www.404defender.com/template/template.html

    So, I need an attention-grabbing optin-box which will be positioned directly underneath the header graphic, on the right hand side of the page.

    The graphic must include this image:

    http://www.404defender.com/images/binder.jpg

    ...and should have space for the usual "Claim Your Free Report" style headline.

    Obviously it needs to be wide enough to fit in a name and email form.

    You can use arrows, or anything else which will grab the eyeballs of any visitor.

    The optin box should compliment and blend with the existing design/color scheme.

    There's a $40 prize for this one, and will keep the competition open for 48 hours. The winning design must also be delivered as a psd with any fonts included.

    If you have any questions, please post! I'm eager for this to be a great design, so don't be afraid to ask.

    For a few examples of the type of optin box I'm looking for, please take a look at some of these designs:

    Good luck everyone, and thanks for looking.

    Cheers,
    Steve

    Hi offiri0,

    I'm looking for an opt-in box that blends in with my site...

    Here's one as an example:

    [​IMG]

    I want it to be designed so it would fit directly underneath my
    header logo, and on the right hand side of my template:

    http://www.404defender.com/template/template.html

    I hope that helps!

    Thanks,
    Steve

    Hi, I didn't want to over crowd the page, so have kept it quite minimalist. Please give feedback so I can improve the design.
    Thanks

    Hi Simon,

    Thanks for the first attempt!

    Here are a couple more examples, the 1st one shows
    how well the optin box can blend in with the feel of a
    site:

    [​IMG]

    This one just shows a few more optin box examples...
    some with the ebook cover in them (as I'd prefer to have)

    [​IMG]

    Let's up the ante to $50

    Thanks,
    Steve

    Super!

    Thanks, dude.

    Best of luck, and as a hint, the "Market-Toolbox" example
    is exactly how I'll be laying out my page.

    Cheers,
    Steve

    Hey, great effort, offiri0.

    That's very much what I'm looking for.

    Can the colors be more in keeping with the
    rest of the site (i.e. a bit darker), with the
    arrows in red?

    Very nice look and feel with your entry, by
    the way.

    Thanks again,
    Steve

    P.S. I liked the last one the best.

    Definitely getting there!

    Perhaps the 'instant download' star could
    be a different color?

    It needs to draw the eye to the box.

    Very good work so far, thank you!

    Best wishes,
    Steve

    Wow, thanks everyone!

    Great entries all round so far. This is going to make for
    a very difficult decision...

    @offiri0 - Your design is getting better and better.
    Well done. Is it possible to make it a little wider (like the
    Market-Toolbox example in post #7? Thanks for your
    effort!

    @dmitri123 - Thanks, dude. I love the name and
    email form and the custom button! I think the color scheme
    and the fonts need changing though, to fit in with the
    existing design.

    @luvlee - My favorite design so far! A few requests,
    if I may? Can the 'headline font' be lower case, without the
    white stripe through the middle, and a softer drop-shadow?

    Also, can you make the arrows red? Can you make the name/email
    fields stand out (like Dmitri's one)?

    And last of all, a custom submit button would be marvellous! The
    button should read "Free Instant Access!"

    Thanks again for all your wonderful efforts. I'm really pleased with
    all the results so far.

    Kind regards, and reps on their way to you,
    Steve
