Hi, I'm setting up a new niche website about pen cameras a.k.a. spy pens (do some googling). I need a clean, professional and attractive header for this website and some buttons/banners for navigation. There will be no cart system included. The customer will finally be redirected to http://www.spy3k.be/spy_pen_camera.html . So give it slightly the same look and feeling. So the contest is split into 2 different parts. First, design of the header (winner receives 100$) and afterwards (once the header is completed) the design of 4 buttons/banners for navigation (another 100$). Once the header is ready the winner receives 100$ by Paypal. This same person has the opportunity to start working alone on the 4 buttons/banners and win the next 100$. However if the quality of the design of the buttons/banners is far under the level of the header a new contest will be started solely for the 4 buttons/banners. So let's start with the header. Make it 1000px X 200px. Make it attractive, eye-catching while being professional and clean. Add motion if necessary. The first other design is the "Buy Now" (Use the dutch translation "Bestel Nu"). This design will be on every page above the navigation. Of course this is the most important link to follow so make it stand out by adding some motion and difference in colour. It's rather a banner then a button. Make it 200px X 200px. All the other buttons will be used at the content part of the website just to direct the customer in the way we want. Make another "Bestel Nu" button (simple version of the previous one), a "Zie Meer Voorbeelden" (ENG: "See more video samples") and a "Nog steeds vragen? Contacteer ons" (ENG: "Questions? Contact us") button. Make them all the same size of 400px X 100px The first part of the contest, the header design, can take maximum 5 days. The second part, button designs, max 5 days as well. I'll give feedback for every entry and I'll check the results at once a day. Let me know if you have any questions. I'm looking forward to your entries and that the best design may win the pot. Thanks Kris
In order not having to give all comments over and over I'll copy paste all the entries I received so far. (I would appreciate if we could continue the conversation overhere as well) Entry from JacoArmy The header is rather basic. We don't need all the details about the pen mentioned in the header either. However I do like the idea of the guy with the suit wearing it. Thx! Entry from +dd. KRS25 The non animated one is nice but not WOW. I do like the idea of the second one with the animation. It might be cool to have 2 persons standing over to each other (similar as JacoArmy already has one), one carrying the pen, both talking to each other and next to it showing the animation pointing out the video which made during the conversation. Just an idea ... Nice work! Entry from CrimeProductions I see you are playing with the same idea as KRS25. Good thinking. However the rest of the header still looks a little basic. Try to do something with the comments from above. Thx a lot! Nice work all of you! I hope the comments will help!
As I received some PM's asking for a clarification ... It's always a good thing to show people using the product in a real situation. This situation would be two people standing over each other (just the suits are good enough as JacoArmy did) and we point out that one person is carrying the pen camera. Next to it would be great to have an animation showing what the pen camera is recording. What is the animation showing exactly? Don't know for sure. But you get the idea that we want to show the product in a real life situation in action. Thx!
I'm having problem with my internet connection here. I'll soon make something after I can connect well. just dont end it before my submission. thanks
Feedback for Coolwanz: Very good! It includes the ideas as mentioned earlier but can you point out more specifically the pen filming the face of the guy (you are doing this already very well but make it stand out a little more) and the relation between the big pen and the LCD screen. Feel free to decrease the size of the Spy3K logo and make more space for the action scene. Also add the descriptive slogan as KRS25 is using. "Het meest efficiënte en discrete video-opnamesysteem op de markt" (translated: the most efficient and discrete video recording system on the market). Thx a lot!
Hi Jaco, Coolwanz won the contest and DD KRS25 won an extra price as his latest version will be used as a banner. Thx for your efforts!
Ah I just want to make the revision, my internet just been fixed up today. Anyways congratz to both winner.
