Hi guys, We're back again! Following the sucessful design of our bouncers 'Beer' and 'Chief' in our previous contest, we're now on the hunt for a design. But there's a twist! We already have an idea! That's all I'll call it for now, and you can see it here: Linky So what do you have to do? The answer to that is simple: whatever you want! We need the site to have that certain something, a touch of class, gloss, the final stroke that makes the masterpice. And what is that? Whatever you think yourself. So, to summarise, you will be provided with a .psd (PM me for a copy) which you are free to edit as much or as little as you like. Change colours, rearrange, turn upside down, whatever you think we'll like! Here are some pointers: -Navigation Bar: We don't like it, make it really special! This is top priority. -Header: In general it's not great, no idea what we want really...play with it! -Body: Be inventive! Maybe create some new section header bars etc. -Footer: not very important Last note: We also have an initial landing page which every visitor must pass through for age confirmation, you can see it here: http://www.sitepoint.com/marketplace/entryscreenshot.php?contestid=1463&entryid=77805 Some element of it in the new design would be a bonus, for brownie points! Contest Disclaimer: The usual stuff here: - $50 - $100 payment, depending on how much you impress us - Paypal Only - Contest open until 3rd May - We reserve the right not to pick a winner, though we hope not to have to! - Constructive Feedback will be provided! May the best man win! (or you Barbie )
Alright, guess I'll be the first brave soul......lol Feedback appreciated..... also, are you apposed to an all black backround on the page?
Hi Barbie, Thanks for your promising entry! A couple of pointers: 1) It doesn't really carry the "wow" factor we're after 2) The nav bar hasn't really been changed that much, we'd like to see it really jazzed up, you don't even need to stick to the current "tab" stlye 3) The section header bars are an improvement, but still don't quite hit home imo Regarding the background, it can be black but doesn't have to be, whatever you like depending on your design! To everybody, feel free to go mad with it! As I said, it's only an idea, and if you see something better, please let us see it! Lastly, just so you all know, the existing idea is a creation of mine, so topping it shouldn't be hard! Thanks again for your entry Barbie, looking forward to revisions! P.S: I am curious as to why there have been no other entries, can any reading this thread please state any reason why you haven't entered? Thank you.
buddy in order for me to join in i at least need to know it would be a definate $150 i could design good you can check my signature PS. Maybe if i feel up to it i will join
@ tetragon Can you elaborate on why you feel it is $100 is not enough to work on an existing site? There is a .psd file, which you are free to edit as much or as little as you wish. So why not request a copy, and work for what you consider to be $100 worth of work? @ darzuaga We apprecuiate your interest but unfortunately the contest is not aimed solely at you. We would really like to see as many entries as possible, but if you feel it is not worth your time we are sorry to hear that. Best of luck with future contests! @ ALL This contest has been edited slightly. We have decided to offer the full $100 to the winner, should there be one, and we hope there will! Best of luck to you all!
Can you PM me the PSD please. Also, I know that this contest isn't specifically geared to any one individual, but I have a special "issue" where I may have problems uploading larger PSDs. If you pick a winner on May 3rd, how much time will you allow for very minor changes and transfer of files to occur? 3-7 Days? Of course, payment won't be requested until files are fully transferred and you are satisfied. Just a curious question that may concern everybody. Also, I know I am asking before I get the files, but I won't have much time this weekend, but does the PSD contain the logo in individual layers with fonts, etc. in case we decide we may want to change the color scheme?
Hi everybody! Just another quick update: We've had some intelligent questions via PM (don't worry, we're not accepting entries by PM), and some good ideas are cropping up. So we've decided to call the contest $100+, meaning that if you take that extra step, and it wins the contests for you, the more innovative you are, the greater your bonus can be! @ [x[x]x] Nice design! We're actually somewhat divided on this, one of us thinks it's great, and could be a contender, but one of us isn't that impressed, and thinks it doesn't stem too far and beyond the original .psd So we'll say good, but try and be a little more unique if you can! Thanks! @ poell Did I PM you the psd?
UPDATE: Contest is being extended due to low entry rate, the new end date is May 14th, two more weeks! Best of luck!
Can any contestants, or people planning to enter the contest please post here to tell us so, it seems there has been a complete lack of interest even though over 10 people have recieved the .psd. Don't forget, $100 minimum prize!!
Well I bearly started, but here is something i'm working on: No Navigation yet, and feel I still need to more a lot more.
