[$350 Prize] Gaming Website Template face-lift

Discussion in 'Design Contests' started by S2X, Feb 13, 2008.

  1. #1
    I need some modifications done to the template on my gaming website.



    Whoever can give this template the best face-lift wins $350 USD
    This Contest ends at the end of the month (Feb 29'th)



    - When submitting your work: Please post full-page screenshots rather than screenshots of only the modified area.

    - A PSD of the banner can be sent via PM, but the rest of the site has been totally modified piece by piece over the years so I don't have a PSD for anything but the banner. You're going to have to take screenshots and modify those.

    - This website is Multiplayer-Game based, please keep that in mind when chosing images. I don't want any images from games that aren't Multiplayer Computer games used on this template)

    Work I would like done:


    1) I want this section outlined in red modified: I'm planning on having that as a sort of "announcement" area where I can post new forum contests, important site news, etc. I would prefer that whole gray area around the current ad be used (rather than a 468*60 ad like I have there right now)... I don't really have any specific ideas, so be creative and I'll tell you if I like what you came up with :)

    2) The "Google Search" box above the navigation is totally useless now, I don't really plan on using that as a search area any more, so see if you can come up with a better use for that space.

    3) Anything else you think needs work.
    Also, this isn't only the homepage I need worked on, if you find other pages on the site that you think you could improve on (download, forums, etc), feel free to modify those pages as well.



    I'm also looking for a graphic designer for a few more larger jobs in march/april, so if you are a designer looking for another client, this contest would be a great oppertunity to show off your work!

    I mean make modifications to the current template so it looks cleaner / more professional.

    I may be creating another contest for a whole new template design for another similar site after this contest is complete, so check back next month for that.

    Sounds good, I'll send that psd over.




    **Update:


    We're moving over to a new domain after this contest, if you plan on modifying the site's name in the logo: we're changing the name to "MPHacks"

    Also, will we need to implement the template, or will you do the (re)coding yourself?

    Start posting some entries if you plan on participating!

    You'll probably have a much better chance of winning if I see your entry before the contest is over...
