I try to answer questions quickly and give feedback. Design only no coding needed. THANK YOU for your submissions! The contest ends on Friday. Here is the image of the cover - attached and at http://happyabout.info/images/KillerPressRelease-big.jpg
If you design the cover as a book cover then I'll pay an extra $20 for that image on the web page and by itself. Thanks Pointgirl
When you said "The book cover is attached and the design should include this because I want people to buy the book.".. I thought you meant you had a book cover made and the file was attached somewhere. So we must design the website AND book cover and then place the book cover on the website? Ive started on an entry so I will see what I can do. EDIT: ah ok, now I see the attached file. So here is my first entry, all feedback appreciated. This is only my 2nd website design entry, I am surprising myself at what I can do, hope you like it As normal, I can change anything to your liking...
thanks for the entries - please post all entries in the forum not on PM. V06-TECH - Thank you, here is my feedback... It's too much green - you can use the blue in the cover or any color that you want in the design. Please do not change the colors on the cover. Also, for the newsletter signup I want so they put in a name and email address right on the page. I like the "follow us" section. I don't like the top banner. Where it says online PR Book Search, please put "Search Site" so it's not confusing and they think they are searching the book itself. Please put it up by the navigation bar. Also, please make the "Buy the Book Now" button another color so it stands out more. Thanks!
Thanks for the feedback. I do agree that its too much green, I guess I got a little carried away. I was worried about changing the color on the book but it looked odd with all the green and then the blue. I originally wanted to do a blue design but I didn't wanna feel like i was literally copying that site you provided. I think the search box would look good in the nav, but in your instructions it said to put it where I had it, but I will fix that =] thanks for the feedback, I think your correct on everything you said (do you have any ideas for the banner?), I will work on it today.
V06-TECH - The top banner can be much more simple like this site: http://www.shelfari.com/ or http://www.librarything.com/ but it would say OnlinePRBook or even a small graphic on the right like http://www.bulldogreporter.com/me2/default.asp (looks too old-fashioned but just to get the idea of how to make the banner on top simple) The links are for inspiration - please don't copy the look exactly.
Nice entry Willhaynes, but isnt the point of a contest.. to follow the contest holders instructions? Nice entry though. Heres new versions thanks to the feedback:
I included every element the contest holder wished to be included. I just took some creative liberty when it came to placement.
