Dear Designers, I appriciate your work, effort and motivation. I hope to see some nice designs made here. This contest is for a $175 Template design, and additional $50 for the Logo design of the same template and site. payment is made by PayPal. We choose the right not to have a winner if we can't find a design that represents the high price we pay. The time frame of this contest is set to 14 days with the right to extend it to additional 7 days for more design options to come. Please note, i am a designer my self, and come up with some samples of designs but i feel this is not enough and i want a design that a visitor would really like to come back to, and say "wow, this is very nice". the design is for http://www.advertlabs.com/ and you can see the first try of the design i made on that site. My last try was: http://img209.imageshack.us/img209/222/advertlabscopyie8.png You need to use your imagination and not copy my try outs. we are talking here on a $175 design work, my design samples are only to show you that we are after much more then that. Design colors are picked by you, eye friendly colors, color flow and professional color combination is the key for making a good design, keep that in mind. Logo combination in the design by color or shape is possible. Pictures: You need to find the right pictures to insert into the design, we will pay for the pictures. we are not interested in royality free, Picture cost shouldn't be expensive. Structure of menu, boxes, and so on: We would like a sub menu as well, and the best to do that is with horizontal menu. there should also be on hover menu Except of the sub menu with NOT 100% capacity level to allow the user to see the sub menu (and any additional objects) when using the hover menu. - this is preffered, not neccessary. there should be a "featured clients" section, with slide show. There should be a flash intro section on main page, on top. if you can make the flash intro that will be great, else make an image with buttons in it. there should be a short summary of the services and products we offer and a unique images next to him. i.e about us will have sub categories i.e history, our mission, focus, etc. for products, diffrent products and services summary. (see my samples of work). About us: Advert Labs specilizes in creating advertising solutions and services. Our first project right now is AdsElement which is an affiliate network script to run your high end network in example cj.com. we want to represent trust, long term relation ships, security and a serious business partners. Some sites i have inspired by: PayPal.com, IBM.com Looking forward to see some work here.
here is what i got.. there is also a sample logo on top left if you noticed, i just made a random shape for now, but if u like it u can keep it, or i can make a new one with ur needs. .. if you like, i can change names.. and certain things that satisfy you.. but here is what i came up with. hope you like it
@Ice Man, Logo goes to the left, no need for the slogan space. Try instead improving the top menu maginfier, (what you have there is the standard) Page width should be wider, i.e see IBM width. Try an horizontal menu with fixed sub menu. Instead of the menu placement right now, try inserting some sort of an image or our product ad maybe. on top menu we need an horizontal login box. I would like to see an horizontal slide show i.e what azoogle.com has with low capacity edges. the tabbed menu, try expanding it, find good picture and use as a back ground on bottom right lower corner. Try changing the color you have of the 2 boxes near the "new content". It needs more effects such as, example: on http://img209.imageshack.us/img209/222/advertlabscopyie8.png i inserted a 1 pix white line on top of the introduction and it makes the box look more nice, that is a PS skills, i look for the same type of hook ups to make the design look really good. @rayGFX From the logo i like the little colors and shape u made, i don't like the reflection. I like the 1 pix line of menu u made and placed the logo on top of it. I think un clicked menu buttons should have something and not plain text. I don't like the images you inserted on the about, services. etc. they are too fancy and it's graphic. i look for both grapich and real photo images in the design. It needs to have a tabbed menu also. testimonials is not need, list of features not needed too. read the first thread for the structure i need. it should also be wider. try using less fancy colors, i.e use more darker colors. footer needs something much better then just plain gray color. design should have a place for a flash banner in the size of PayPal's flash under the horizontal menu on the right top.
well i don't wanna do anything to the layout unless voted winner. this is just showing you how it's going to look.. all the changes u want will be made to ur satifaction. it's just showing u the design. so when u vote who u like, and hoping it's me, if i win.. ill do what ever u want, change colors, take stuff off.. and all.. becuase i dont want to do all this work.. and not get picked at the en, i worked to hard on this. thanks.
:\ by that it's probably not going to be me. whatever.. but i worked hard on it.. so if u like it or change ur mind say so. thanks anyway

Ok im working on mine this is going to blow all of your away...(its done professinally shhhhhh dont tell)
That ray guy didn't work at all. PSH. http://googletime.info/ It's the exact same design. Even if he DID design that, it's still not unique work at all.
