* $100 Famous Contest - 48hr Web Design [Training Videos] *

Hey Guys!

It's oneawesomeguy again with one of my Famous contests! Please read the rules section.

ABOUT ME:
I have been hosting contests here on DP for 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:
This is a very simple web design for a website that will display about 18 Flash training videos. The training videos will show people how to use another website (MLXchange). You can see a wireframe I have drawn up here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2385260/wireframe.jpg The web design should look close to the basic design of the wireframe. Here is a rough example of what we are trying to do: https://admin.acrobat.com/_a13852757/crmadmineng/ Here is the company logo: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2385260/562378tr.jpg Use the same or similar colours in your design.

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. To be fair: No entries via PM and no late entries, please.
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. You are free to put in watermarks to protect your work but the watermark must say "Sample" or be a big X across the whole design (for consistency between designs).
3. Only the winner agrees to transfer me rights to that design. I will not use any of the other designs and feel free to remove them from this thread once the contest is over.
4. By accepting the winnings, you agree to give me full rights to your design and you agree that you will not use this design for anything else.

The 48 hour deadline will be enforced as long as there are at least five entries. One person can submit as many entries as he or she wants.

SUGGESTIONS:
1. For images, check out iStockPhoto or similar sites and use their free comps. Only pay for the images if you win (Note: No istockphoto logos on the winning design sent to me).
2. For colour combinations, check out colourlovers.com--an awesome website!

Thanks, good luck, and have fun!

P.S. If you would like to be notified about my contests, send me a PM and I will notify you next time!

Hey Chris! Thanks for the invite mate. here's my entry and hope you'll like it.

 

Thanks Hecky for the design. Nice job!

One quick note: In my drawing, there are only three expandable menu items. Introduction and the bottom three items are just links. The menu only has two levels: a top level like Introduction and a submenu like Areal Map. Sorry if my drawing was confusing. If anybody has any questions, just ask!

Great job so far guys! I could probably easily pick a winner from one of these great designs, but there is still 22 hours left! I can't wait to see what other entries we get!

If you have a spare 3 minutes, please fill in the menu as it appears in the drawing I made (see OP). The way the menu functions is the essence of this design and an incomplete menu will make it harder to judge your design. Some menu items will appear on two lines as they are longer than the rest. I want to see how you handle this in the design.

I am sorry that on my drawing, the "Introduction" menu item looks like some kind of heading for the whole menu. It is just a single page.

Arrows or dashes to the left of the menu items are not required (I am not even sure I like them very much). I just added those to the drawing to try to clarify things (looks like I failed... ).

For an example of how the menu should look, please see the designs by jokomamamita and sLiMsHaDys.

Thanks guys! I love all the designs so far! More specific feedback coming after I close the contest for new entries in about 22 hours.
