Hello everyone, i'm in need for a new homepage design for Art Gallery (with shop) i'm looking to integrate the design on Magento. the site has to be social as i will be using Facebook and Twitter to keep in touch with clients and future clients, also - the site should be aimed for both Professionals who are looking to buy arts for decorating (Designers and so..) and also for private people who are looking to buy art as gift or home decoration (usually around holidays). The website itself will have to contain some kind of a chat or live support to help drive sells better, i dont need you to think about the technology but about the design integration of all of these elements and make sure it is very sell/action driven with easy navigation. every now and then i'll do special sell, i want a special area to those items - it has to pop out but still blend in the over all design. the design concept has to be clean, pictures has to be displayed in large areas (so people could see the quality) also, as SEO is an issue, place for text must be kept in mind. today's site is JOYART-GALLERY(dot)co(dot)il Please no private bids as i wish to keep this contest as transparent as possible This contest will run for a minimum of 14 days to allow as many designers to participate. p.s. i realize that the contest request is a little bit scattered around, but as i'm fighting my way to create a concept i need your help too.. i'll be more then happy to try and answer all your questions.
I've received several offers via PM, Please keep ALL communications and submissions HERE as i wish this contest to be as transparent as possible
@thelegendary Thank you for this Amazing design, i think i'm currently looking for brighter colors and more space for art display.. i'll be more then happy to see revision of your work.
What do you mean by more space? Bigger thumbnails? Because if you're looking to display more art on the front page, you could just add more thumbnail rows (with 4 thumbnails in a row). As for the brighter colors - I'll work on that and post the revision here! Any preference to specific colors by the way?
Here's what I meant: I also brightened the design up and chose green as the leading color (we can change it any color to any color you want). Two versions, since I couldn't decide on the background
@thelegendary, thats a bit more like it.. but for some reason, the design looks a bit on the cheaps site instead of clean side..
Here's my try: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/18757952/joyart1.png - FULL VIEW - Special Area OFF http://dl.dropbox.com/u/18757952/joyart1ON.png - FULL VIEW - Special Area ON
@Sparkle92, Very good... it's a direction i havnt though about.. if to be honest i though about something a bit less playfull as i need to take aim at older more mature audiance.. but the actual design is really nice.
Hey @TheLegendary thank you for submitting a revision, i actually liked your original design better.. i have a problem with big unrelated images (the man in the middle with the water). other then that, i like the Black / White contrast.
It's the featured section - think of it like a java slider - you can put anything there and rotate the content - featured art, promotions etc - in the example above it links to a artist interview article and the man in the photo would be that artist. If you don't like it we can delete the section altogether.
