$130 One Page Design

I am holding a design contest for a 1 page design I will actually need a couple more pages after but with hardly any changes just a couple of things. This is going to be a arcade website.

I am going to go off the site meltgames.com because I want the layout to be somewhat similar to that layout.

First with starting at the top left hand side I want a nice logo this is for the domain playingarcade.com so create a nice logo for the site and then to the right of that I want a 728by90 banner ad. Then somewhere over that I want a search bar.

Underneath that I want the categories like displayed on meltgames.com that has All, Action, Adventure, Arcade, Fighting, Racing, Shooting, Sports, Strategy, Puzzle, Cards.

Then underneath that I want it to say Games Being Played Right Now...

Have the images 180by135 I want 4 images across by 3 going down so 12 in total there. Then underneath that I want a 728by90 banner advertisement.

Then underneath that I want it to say Newest Games For Today then I want 4 across by 8 going down. Then underneath that I want the paganation and then underneath that I want 2 300by250 banner spots and 1 728by90 banner underneath that.

Then on the right hand side of the page I will have 160by600 banner ads going down the side.

I don't want you to copy meltgames.com at all so make something different and unique I was just telling you how the placement that I want the design to be.

I will pay $130 for the best designer to make this design and I will try to give my feedback when I have time. If you have any questions please reply to the thread and let me know. Thanks

 

How long this contest!

 

It is as long until I find a decent design.

 

You only want the PSD or you want to code file also?

 

I think both are accepted.

 

Yeah the PSD file is fine.

 

Great! I love doing game sites! Count me in.
Will have something by ready tonight.

 

Here goes my entry


Tinypic sort of trimmed it down . So it looks smaller than it really is. But you can just assume its a screenshot, I'd provide original PSD if I win.


Thanks.

 

Sounds great I can't wait to seem some designs

 

Hmm, not trying to rain on anyone's parade here but use of an iStockphoto illustration (as seen above) as part of a logo is strictly prohibited by iStockphoto, even on an extended license.


I'll be doing something for this.

 

Ill be posting my design some time today.

 

I may participate on that contest but I dont think I will win ...
at all I will try to make something

 

Thanks for your entry here are some things I don't like about it though.

I don't like that color green I want mostly a whitish type site with maybe light gray.

I don't like the logo at all. I don't like the home, blog, login at the top I don't want that.

The images are not the right size.

 

I'm working on an entry already.

 

Sounds great can't wait to see some more designs.

 

Hi! im also working on an entrie. Can you give us some ideas about what style you want for the overall design. We only know that you want white and grey colors... If you can put some links to website you like it would be great

 

Here is my second go at this..
I've kept it simple and clean, since it seems you want to make money out of this.. busy designs do not sell, at all.

Also, images are correct size. Everything is placed just how you want it.

and..
Please provide specific feedback this time.
Tell me what needs to be changed/edited etc.

Thanks.
