Discussion in 'Design Contests' started by Buddha, Jun 8, 2009.

    Project Overview:
    I'm looking to create a screenshot for a new website called www.junkunderjeans.com. Junk is a premium men's underwear brand that is fashionable, trendy, and comfortable for today's urban man.

    The website screen shot has the following requirements:
    - Total size is 1400 x 1100 px (background image)
    - Main website body size is 1000 x 1000
    - Middle content area is 820 x 800
    - Left hand nav is 180 px wide
    - Center Banner 550 x 500
    - rt banners 185 x 65
    - bottom banners 170 x 100

    Materials:
    Below is the url to download all the materials you will need, which includes the logo, background, icons, fonts, images, and sample screenshots.

    https://www.onlinefilefolder.com/2fg5dVboxWbvST

    Other Directions:
    There is a sample jpg screenshot in the online folder. This screenshot gives you a rough idea of how I would like it to look. I would like the general layout of the final screenshot to be very similar or identical to the sample. However, I am looking for you to add value by incorporating your own creative design ideas to the basic screenshot. I want a premium quality brand with a fashionable chic look. I also like the use of subtle gradients to create a sophisticated design.

    For Delivery, I will need a PSD file of the completed screenshot. I will be happy with the final screenshot if I can compare it to my sample screenshot and feel that the final product looks cooler.

    I will choose the designer that can come up with a fashionable cool design based upon my original sample and specifications. I am paying a premium for this homepage design and providing all of the artwork you need so I will expect a high quality template. I reserve the right to not select any winners if I am not satisfied with any entries.

    Upon selecting a designer, I would like you to include any reasonable revisions to complete the template that I want. Good Luck and hope to find a creative designer!

    The contest will end next Tuesday. However, if you submit earlier, I can provide feedback to your design so you know what I'm looking for.

    Samir, I will zip these files into 1 folder for you to download tomorrow.

    Hi Sax,

    I'm impressed with your 1st rendition of the design. Overall, I like it.

    Here are the things that I like:
    - Junk logo/gradient highlight
    - Buttons on top
    - Subtle design throughout the template to make it look edgy and raw. (ie. slightly rough edges where appropriate)
    - Main center banner

    Here are some suggestions:
    - I don't like the buttons below "apparel". The don't have the right feel.
    - Don't know how it would look, but can you try incorporating 1 of the icon designs in the template?
    - The junk font is red on the box. Is there a way to incorporate Junk in red? I've uploaded a new file called junkbox that shows the actual box.
    - The bottom right buttons, can you try just putting the text separated by a graphic line that's faint on the top/bottom edge?

    Overall, I'd say you set the bar high and you are the design to beat.

    Thanks for the quality feedback. I've made some changes for V2. Sorry about not including the icons in the first version, I didn't see the link!

    OK, so I added some icons elements (in the header, the background of the header, underneath the email newsletter section, and subtly in the main center banner). I also incorporated the red colouring you requested, especially around the logo. Updated the buttons, and finally, I main the changes to the bottom links.

    So, check it out... click the thumbnail below...

    Jeez17: I do like your design and I can tell you put a lot of creative thought into it.
    I liked:
    - the gradients used in the words
    - the use of the icons in the template without sticking out too much
    - the custom banner outlines on the rt side

    Suggestions:
    - I like the top banner that you made, but takes up too much valuable screen space and it's gradient colors don't mesh well with the background.
    - I'd like to see the main body of the template with a slight drop shadow so the main content pops up just a little like in my screen shot. Currently the background blends in with the main content.
    - the "junk underjeans" logo is a bit small and hard to read the "underjeans" part. I'd prefer it larger.

    Cebumedia:
    - It's a nice clean design that you made that is different from everyone else. However, it's not quite the look of the brand that we're going for. Thanks for your efforts.
