It's time again for one of our Famous contests!

ABOUT ME:
I have been hosting contests here on DP for over two years. I have hosted dozens of contests (usually about once or twice a month). I always comment on every design, announce a winner, and I always pay.

WEBSITE DETAILS:
URL: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2385260/copters.html
Features on website: news feed
Use for inspiration: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2385260/copters-inspiration.html
The client does like his current website so use similar elements.

CONTEST DETAILS:
1. Submit web design entries for 48 hours from the time stamp on this post. Revisions on entries can be made after the 48 hours are up.
2. Posts via PM will be allowed, but I will then post them here.
3. Once 48 hours is up, I will review all designs thoroughly and give my thoughts/opinions on every single design. This usually takes me 2-3 days (but sometimes takes longer as I may require a response from someone else, please be patient).
4. I will allow revisions to be made for 24 hours to give everyone a chance to win.
5. Winner provides .PSD (or .XCF for GIMP users) file and fonts used. I will send $100 via PayPal and give honest iTrader.

RULES:
By submitting an entry, you agree to the following:
1. You must create the designs yourself. No templates. You must not use any images you do not have the right to use.
2. If you use watermarks, it must say "Sample" (for consistency). Do not let watermarks affect your design or send your non-watermarked entry via PM.
3. You agree to let me use a representation of your design. If you do not win, you keep all rights and can even sell your design to someone else. However, you must remove anything that identifies this company specifically (e.g., company name, logo, pictures from this contest, etc.).
4. By accepting the winnings, winner agrees to transfer me full rights to that design and you agree that you will not use the winning design for anything else.

The 48 hour deadline will be enforced as long as there are at least five entries.

That is it!

Let me know if you have any questions!

Best,
Christopher

 

i thought it was only for members of the group lol
anyways gonna try my hands at it

 

Hey SabTech. Yes, it was, but there wasn't enough interest. Next time I will send a better announcement. If anyone was working on the private contest, post your entry here. I will try another Private Famous Contest when we have more members in the group.

Looking forward to seeing your design though!

 

Im in on this! Will post here once finished.

Do you want us to use the same logo?

 

Good question! I will leave this up to you. You may create a new logo or use the current one. If you do create a new one though, keep in the same style with similar colours, font, etc. (i.e., do not change the logo dramatically, only slightly to fit with the new design).

Good luck guys!

 

Il use the current, thanks!

Feedback pls...


Thanks.

 

entry sent via pm (NON WATERMARKED VERSION)

 

So pm submissions are allowed???

Many guys are submitting by pm
not fair

 

my try

 

I only submitted my un-watermarked version ^ he asked above.

 

ya not u

 

Hey guys. I love what I have seen. We only have four entries so far ...so the contest is extended by 24 hours. This contest will end 72 hours from the original OP time stamp (in about 22 hours). Anyone can enter as many entries and he or she wants.

PM entries will be allowed, but know that I will post all the entries publicly when I make my comments (that will be on Monday). If you post a watermarked version, please PM a non-watermarked version (I will not post this). Or, if you PM your entry and want it watermarked when I post it to the contest, be sure to PM two versions.

Reasoning behind allowing PM entries: Some people expressed concerns of others stealing their design ideas. I never though it was a problem, but will try the PM entry thing this time. Please give me feedback. I usually take feedback on my contests very seriously!

Thanks guys.

If you have any questions, please PM me!

P.S. Make sure you look at this website and use it for inspiration: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2385260/copters-inspiration.html

 

I haven't started the layout but I hope that I can get something done before you close the contest.

Please just one question.
Should I use the same logo & color scheme or can I try something new?

Regards,

 

Here with new look! With Features added, hope u like it!
