I have a blog at www.VladimirChen.com The blog is up and running but now I am thinking about changing the color scheme. This contest is not about designing from scratch but rather about redesigning and proposing a new color scheme for the blog (colorfonts, fontsize, main content background, page background, linkcolor, title color and so on. Feel free to experiment). I want a much fresher and lighter color scheme (than what it is right now). If some graphic elements may need to be changed, feel free to do so as long as the main content area, architecture structure are kept the same. I have a solid experience running such contests, so no designer will be left out. I will provide comments to all designers who will take their time. The winning prize is $30. The winner will be paid straight via PayPal and upon the payment shall provide color codes and other necessary graphics if any. The contest begins NOW and will be running for 5 days until Sunday midnight (October 19, 2008). If you feel you can "wow" me, I will be looking forward to your entry. Thanks and good luck!
hey, All i can say right now because I have to go but the the use of blue rather than yellow/green would be much better. also a thinnner right hand side panel that is not a clutter of things but rather one thing after another. This will make the page seem a lot more inviting. Perhaps you could also make the header section (the white part) not go all the way across and have two boarder lines n the right and left that go all the way up and down the sides. If I can get around to it tomorrow/the next day I will make you a concept design based upon the current site. There is a lot of stuff that can be done but that is all I have time for today Cheers, |d5*
d5productions thanks for your suggestions although it is a bit hard without seeing it. I will be looking forward to your visual suggestions. Please bear in mind that I am more concerned with the gray color especially, and the fonts. (I thinking maybe the background color should be find, the fontcolor black and for the links include some other fresh colors including blue.) But try to play with it. Who else wants to give a shot? Thanks!
I am starting on the redesign of the page now and I will focus on the colours and etc after that. just thought i would keep you updated on what is going on. d5
