Contest PSD Template Design - Online Game Directory

Discussion in 'Design Contests' started by Gydian, Mar 7, 2015.

  1. #1
    Looking to have a template designed for an Online Games Directory site. To give you an example of the types of content the site will have, below are some examples in the industry:

    MPOGD.com
    topwebgames.com
    directoryofgames.com
    mmorpg.com

    Name of the site is not yet disclosable. Logo will be designed based around the design of the website template so I'm open to any and all placement ideas for the logo. As such, color scheme has also not been decided so I leave that entirely in your creative hands however I am privy to Red and Blue.

    This contest opens effective at the time of this posting and will close on March 15th at 12:00pm EST.

    Requirements
    1. Template MUST be designed in layered PSD format.
    2. Submission via PM are allowed. This is to allow individuals with unique ideas to share them without fear of being ripped off.

    Prize
    Declared Winner: $75.00 USD
    Additional Concepts: $50.00 USD - If I like more than 1 design after declaring a winner, I will offer $50.00 USD for the design. This is not a guarantee and the designer is capable of declining.

    Best of luck to those who enter. :)

    It's a nice start. I'd like to see a blend of the red and blue if possible.

    Luka: It's a good start. Couple things I'd like to see done differently:

    1. The header is very hard to read. I think it's more to do with the contrast between the brightness of the header versus the font there.
    2. Where you presently have the rotation of banners, lets dedicate that to a game review structure. So game name, URL, maybe an offset 3 layer of screenshots (for a sample game lets use Gnomealot.com), and a X/Y Rating. Under that 2 buttons (Visit Site/Read Review)
    3. I'd like to see the top voted sites list done more along the same lines as TopWebGames.com
    4. To the right of the voting list, lets add a Featured Game area and below that maybe a 234x60ad banner?
    5. Where you presently have the Videos area, lets dedicate that to Gaming News. Preferably something where they have a left side and right side arrow to navigate to a set amount of news items all setup as boxes like you have then maybe some form of linking below to "View News Archive".

    The rest is pretty much bang-on for what I'm looking for. :)

    I'd suggest you to wait until he replies to me. But do as you feel. :)

    yugo: Thanks for the submission. Couple of things:

    1. Please use the logo supplied in the thread.
    2. I find this to be very simplistic in design. While that's not really a bad thing, I don't feel as though users will be as engaged as I'd like them to be.
    3. The voting toplist should be the key item on the site. That's where most of the traffic will be driven to.

    All in all, its a good start but lacking in some areas.
