Contest Website header design - $70USD contest

Discussion in 'Design Contests' started by Hireforgood, Jun 1, 2014.

    We are holding a contest to find the most detail oriented graphic designer! You must have an aesthetic sense.

    We are looking to design/polish/make perfect the below header image:

    [​IMG]

    Your job will be to:

    1.) Make perfect the 2 buttons on the left so that it's not so fuzzy and that it matches the rest of the header. The white portion of the button is a bit fuzzy, the background and border is good. You will also need to design a click-effect for those buttons.

    2.) Design a drop down taking into consideration both the black drop downs and white. We want it black color with the dropdown arrow like the one on the right. It will be a dropdown for a social media site so .... please combine elements from the two example dropdowns.

    If you are a talented designer, you will know what to do! We want the header to be blue and black...


    Please post a message here or PM me if you have any questions!

    @Michael Tinnin

    You got the right idea, but the design is not good at all... Please take inspiration from the example black dropdown. I don't want any blue color on the dropdown.

    The drop down should say:

    Messages
    Notification
    Invite Friends

    Here is the drop down. let me know what you think. I got the icons crisp and clear so if you like those I can send just the white icons over without the blue button if my entry wins the contest.

    @Michael Tinnin, please polish the left two buttons first. The dropdown is very far from what we want...

    I think the reason for bad quality is due to the lack of interest from talent designers.

    This section is becoming inactive.

    I'm out of the contest. What you have looks retarded. I have been designing for 8 years I am a professional designer. Anything is better than what you have. I don't feel this contest will have a winner. Watermark your work everyone :)

    Wierd that you don`t like any of these designs ... some of them are really well and high-quality designed.

    I`m working professionaly with Photoshop, desgning web interface for like 3 years. Clean and Simple.

    Cheers.

    P.S Suggest to other designers - put watermarks on work.
