    This is also another entry but I figure you probably won't like it

    at this point in time I'm just trying to work with the colors you like. Getting a template like anyone else is fairly simple. The hardest part about this design is getting the colors. Colors collide with a clean look a lot. If I get the right combo I feel I can produce something that would at least be in your top 5 picks.

    I haven't made a background either for the reasons stated above. Backgrounds can really throw off a page, so I won't make one until the colors are right.

    Hey, thanks for the feedback. Logo design isn't one of my strengths so I'm going to pass on that and just enter with a template, I will make changes to the template, and possibly create several versions with different colour schemes to see how it works.

    Thanks

    Or make him choose the colors? Seems that's what the problem is even with the best of designs.

    anyways here's another go.

    http://www.egogen.com/PSDTemplates/fatboy4 copy.png

    I keep trying for softer colors but when I go softer it goes ugly or it goes pink. I do believe you need to choose a different set of colors or pick out the 'soft toned colors'. I've even used a color schemer to work this. With the amount of revisions most people do it's going to take a very longggg time. Which isn't that great of an idea for a business. It could cripple earnings. Or by the time you find something you like, someone else dupped your site.

    I suggest picking the best ones compensating those people. Then lowering the prize for a clone but with better colors. And keep the logo seperate? Or get the logo then do the template.

    I also suggest telling the people to stop posting suggestive pictures of woman. It's nearing soft porn which porn isn't allowed on here unless it's in the adult websites area. Not to mention those kind of pictures can really make any template look great...because they're so luring. Basically it distracts from what you want. You aren't building a porn website or a girls website so ask them to make consoles or random pics of modest people in the layouts? Sorry this is my work ethic even when I do adult websites I don't use naked images in my example sites because it distracts from the actual layout. Sorry for the commentary but with the way images are going I feel some people may avoid the thread. Which could hurt the amount of people that actually apply for the contest.

    He stated in the first post what he wants and then added more information, idk if youre blind but clearly says red/white/grey/black. As for taste if hes paying $300 he can be picky as he is paying for quality. Its egotistical idiots like yourself that are dragging this forum further down the shit stream.

    nando i will post my revised entry asap..

    Adding images will allow him to visualize how the site could potential look. This is not soft porn, but pictures of classy women. So please leave your opinions to yourself as this is a contest, if you cannot deal with other submissions and ideas, than you probably should not be part of this contest.

    I wouldn't be talking about opinions. And these are not classy woman if you think that is class you must not know what that is. Some of it even qualifies as pin up. I'm in a public place and co workers have come by asking if I'm doing a porn site. If that says anything, I don't think i need to say more than that. If people come by and glance and that's all they see, then in my opinion it qualifies as 'strong and suggestive' content.

    Some of the pictures are ok. Like your second pic is fine. It's suggestive and verging a pin up calendar but it's fine. The others are quite close to soft porn.

    Ok maybe not classy, but fully clothed. If this is bothering so many people, I can change this.

    seriously why don't you stop talking about other people and worry more about you ? You have no itrader, no experience on the forum but you think you are God and way better than the rest :rolleyes:

    you are not so good.

    i don't know why you blame nando for the changes if you used BLUE when he says RED. Who's the fool ? and i don't think anyone would pay you $200 for that .

    Anyway, you should trust Nando, he hired me to do another project thanks to the other contest.

    Will try to do it today nando =)

    Hi Nando, I'm getting some where on my design and should post it fairly late tonight as I have some people coming over shortly.

    LilMikey stop posting your crap in this thread. Nando already asked you to stop yet you keep up with it and he is just trying to run his contest. If you dont like it dont continue to work on your entry otherwise let everyone else do as they wish. no one is being forced to participate. I left you negative rep, and you'd be lucky if others dont as well.

    To everyone else, good luck guys! :)
