This is a partial mock up...I guess I want to make sure you like where Im going before I do the whole page...plus your template page is quite long... Feedback appreciated. http://img515.imageshack.us/img515/5289/tstemplatemr6.jpg
Here is what ive done so far.. Like ScarletWolfe said, I want to make sure too that I am on the right track before proceeding.. here is the link.. http://www.trendspike.8sfree.com/ haven't done much actually.. Feedback appreciated..
Ok guys, I think it's about time that I gave some feedback. Sorry that I haven't responded in the past couple days. I really wanted to wait for a few more designs before I gave my opinions. This way, people waiting to enter, and people waiting to modify their entries would have something more to work with. I know a few people have messaged me via PM, and have said they planned to enter soon. So I don't expect to close this contest for at least two weeks. That gives time for everyone to enter, and also time for me to ask for modifications. Anyhow, I want to get straight to the point on the designs so far. I feel that the only two designs that should be continued at this point are UKF_Kurtis and ScarletWolfe's designs. I hope this doesn't come off as rude, but I would hate to waste anyone's time for a design that doesn't appeal to me and what I'm wanting for this particular site. That doesn't mean that you can't come up with something new. You're most welcome to. I'm also hoping for many more new entries soon. Renzmar - I really like what you did with the scrolling "More Videos." I also like how you stuck one of my logos right under the copyright. These are the little things that make a good design, great, imo. However, the overall design isn't what I'm looking for. I may give you some money though for your ideas. UKF_Kurtis - Your layout is the best so far. However, I would like to see a mock-up if that's at all possible? Sort of like what the rest are doing, so I can view the whole page, instead of looking at a mini version on the forums. That would help me to give you feedback, and the winning design will need to be detailed so that my coder knows what to do. He is Chinese, so communication between us can be tough sometimes. ScarletWolfe- You have created the best header so far. I like how you took the top navigation bar "Home, About, etc..." and minimized it, instead of using extra space. The colors are pretty much perfect. However, I would like to see a different layout for the featured items. I'm not feeling all the boxes lined up next to each other in one row. EVERYONE - It would be a good idea to read the feedback that I have given to everyone so far. This will help you understand what I'm looking for. I'm not looking for a square design, with a row of boxes on top of another row of boxes. I'm looking for something more unique in the layout. UKF_Kurtis has done a good job of shaping the sections. Also, I'm not looking for dark themes. I prefer clean and light. Scarletwolfe did a good job with the color theme. She also did an amazing job with the header. She minimized the blocky top navigation that I had, and gave it a cleaner look, which also allowed for more advertising that didn't ruin the design. Renzmar did a good job of adding those "extras." Hopefully this feedback gives everyone a better idea of what I'm looking for. I really appreciate ALL the participants. Thanks for taking the time to enter this contest. Hopefully there are many more to come!
By the way, I'm looking for the width of the site to be 960, and the height of the header to be 200, for anyone interested.
Thanks for the feedback.. anyway if the contest will run in two weeks time like what you have said.. I might find some time to redo my layout because I am actually busy right now with other things thats why I haven't finished what I have started..
Thanks for the feedback...continuing on...again this isnt completed yet...there is alot of content to your page so Im picking away at it...its currently break time...as Ive been sorely neglecting my son today Heres what I have to date...please leave feedback, so that I can make necessary changes...the base area of course isnt completed and there are some images kinda just tossed there for later use...with so much content better to get feedback as I go in stages then to wait...easier for me to move or change stuff. http://img266.imageshack.us/img266/1083/tstemplateku5.jpg I redid the header to match the width you were looking for...I left length as is...but if you want it 200 I can make those changes...
Torrentfluxmaster - I really hate to say it, since you worked so long on it, but the template isn't what I'm looking for. However, I may be contacting you after the contest is over to offer you some cash for using one of your ideas in an inside page on the website. Those colored boxes might work good for a questions/answers page that I had planned. Just to clarify for anyone wondering what I mean by not wanting a row of boxes on top of another row of boxes; please take a look at g4tv.com ...one of the examples I gave to start with. The structure of their layout is kind of crazy, but at the same time you can tell where one section ends and another begins. It's still organized. Again though, as I mentioned in my first post, g4tv is too cluttered for my taste. UKF_Kurtis did a good job of heading towards the layout that I want, although ScarletWolfe has done the best job with the design and detail that I'm looking for, so far.
Here's what I've come up with so far. Can you let me know what you like and don't like so I can know where to go from here http://img87.imageshack.us/img87/2771/trendta3.jpg
I might try to submit another entry over the weekend, I am quite a determined person! Now I know what you are after I might have a chance. Will post if I manage to knock something up! Davey.
Updated: http://img510.imageshack.us/img510/4535/trendzq4.jpg It's more or less finished in that. Let me know what you think
