$30 Header contest - 48 hours! John Doe Proxy

Hi All,

I've been looking at your designs here, and they are awesome.

So I'd like to hold a header contest for a new site, 'John Doe Proxy'

This contest will run for 48 hours from now, and the winner will receive $30.

About the site:

JohnDoeProxy is, not surprisingly, an anonymous proxy site. Hence the name, John Doe, to symbolize that the visitor's identity will be hidden whilst using the site to surf the web.

The header should reflect the theme of anonymity, anoymous surfing etc and will preferably have a dark background, black even.

Ideally, I'd like the colours FF6600 (orange), and 008000 (green) in there as well, but with predominantly white-ish text. However, If you can come up with a more suitable color scheme, don't be afraid to use it!

I'll leave the size up to you, but think normal header graphic dimensions.

How to win:

1. Be as creative as you like
2. See number 1

I don't have a site design yet, so the chances are the theme will be based on the winning graphic!

The winner will have the money deposited by PayPal (I'll even pay the paypal fees )

Thanks, and I look forward to seeing all your great work!

Thanks,
Steve

P.S. Of course, everyone that makes me a design will get green reps!

 

an idea, can be altered, feedback appreciated

 

Thanks for the super fast reply, Tropica - rep added!

The only concern would be that visitors might think:

"John Doe - the Proxy Site for Ugly People!"

No offense intended!

Thanks again,
Steve

 

lol didnt think of that, but its a damn good tagline!!!

John Doe Proxy
"The Proxy Site for Ugly People!"

 

LOL

It might alienate a few people, but hey...

 

more like it?

 

Here:



Feedback please

 

FF6600 (orange), 008000 (green) and FFFFFF(white) colors combination. Hope that you will like it.

 

Thanks, All reps added all round!
First thoughts -

Tropica - I'm liking the pixelated face, nice idea! Like the fonts/colors too. Any chance of making the image relate to surfing the web?

Fidel_Castro - Very slick indeed. I reckon the target audience is going to be the high school/college crowd. Can the image of the anonymous guy be a little younger/hipper? And what does it look like with inverted colors (i.e. a dark barkground)? Other than that - really impressed!

zinruss - Thanks for the entry. Not quite sure how the image conveys 'anonymity'? What is the significance of the leaves? Color scheme is a bit bright (would prefer a dark background) Thanks for making the effort so far, though!

Great early work, people! You guys must have pretty impressive portfolios!

Thanks, and keep up the great work.
Steve

 

more web feel variations

 

Here is remake. With white and black background, as requested

 

Wow - great work guys!

Tropica - Thanks, again! I like the top one best. The 'O' looks nice. Whist I really like the idea of the pixellated face, there's something about it that isn't quite working...but that's just a gut reaction. Perhaps the person should be sitting at a desk browsing the web?

Fidel_Castro - This is stunning! Great image, which will strike a chord with my target audience. Can you incorporate something 'web-surfy' into the design somewhere? Fantastic design so far!

Thanks, everyone!

Steve

 

something like this?

 

Very cool, man!

 

Fidel_Castro - fantastic, exactly what I'm looking for! How does that look with the black background? I really like the grey as well, though.

Thanks very much!
Steve

P.S. DaveyBoy - care to enter?

 

Changes can be made. The guy doesn't look that good, but I can fix that if you like the text and stuff.

Latest THANKS! and feedback.

To everyone who has taken part so far - thank you so much for your time and effort.

KevinChristman - Thanks for your entry. Rep added! My favorite font so far is Tropica's. Could you try something in that style, maybe? I've seen your previous designs, and they rock!

Fidel_Castro This design is reaching maturity now, and is absolutely amazing! No secret, you're way out in front at the moment! How about adding a Web 2.0 feel to the header (i.e. glass effect, reflection on the text, in the style of the attached picture) - Also, perhaps the font could be changed? When reading the text, at first glance it looks like John Doc, not John Doe. I'm not too fussed about having the 'anonymous proxy site' as a tag line below the site name - it could be above, or not there at all, whatever looks the best!

Everyone, thanks for your designs up until now, you all have a rare talent.

Fidel_Castro is leading at this point, but there's plenty of time left to go!

Many thanks again for your creativity and contributions, and please, keep pitching in!

Kind regards,
Steve
