Here's where im at so far: I still have some final touches to do, but ive decided to wait for a response before putting to much more time into this design.
I am Kip's partner on this project so I wanted to make a few comments also. Radu, your entry is by far my favorite so far but is still missing something. I'm not quite sure what that something is, but its there For starters, I don't like the girl in the top right, seems too generic. Pixel Dynamics, this is not really the style we are after. We need more of a Web 2.0 look and feel. Demil, getting much better. Maybe put something inside the Publisher/Advertiser boxes. JaanFX, nice entry and will be considered. I don't like the graphics in the Advertiser/Publisher boxes. Try to make the design a little cleaner. In general we have some really nice entries. We are looking for a very clean site with a web 2.0 style and feel. Looking forward to seeing some more.
Hey, heres an entry from me: http://fenixupload.com/files/kdgd9c8uwa635gsm95hp.jpg Feedback appreciated! Thanks, Kurtis
Here is updated version, thanks for the feedback... first is the homepage then the subpage sample. and the subpage sample.. of course this can be modified. Regards, Ali
A quick tip to those who are doing web 2.0 designs... Any text that will be real text typed in the html code, you should make them SHARP in photoshop instead of SMOOTH text because there is a major difference in look between the browser display and the photoshop render of those text. I notice that almost everyone does with specially when you know they are just plain text, do not use smooth fonts .. instead use sharp so the output is more live and vivid, closer to what it will be in browser. Cheers.
youre wrong man... make the anti aliasing to none. that will do the trick..sharp is for text rendering using clear type enabled. but not all browser has that feature
here my entry...hope you like it. feedback will be apreciated. http://img4.imageshack.us/my.php?image=adsitecopy.jpg
Here you have a unique and styled design. It certainly doesnt look like a regular template. I hope you like it.
Thanks guys for your submissions. I will go over with my partner on the latest designs. Radu I like yours the best so far, but I am probably going to wait til Sunday/Monday to end the contest. A winner WILL be chosen. zeba yours looks good as well, not so sure about the grass, but it definitely is unique. Yugo the layout is okay, not so sure about the colors. With everyone designing, i really dont like the "fake/real" people on the designs. This just shows as a template to me. Something easy like our other site http://www.adregate.com VERY simple, but yet very effective and nice.
Yes, I was wrong, I used the wrong word.. I did mean "none" which is kind of like making it sharp but not in terms of PS. Thanks for clearing that out. It looks better with "none" for anti-alias for normal text when the image is saved as JPG with lower quality setting (below 10).
