    Well guys, you can't say I didn't warn you all!

    What can I say? Barbie, your design just oozes class, and we're both incredibly impressed. You did exactly what we've been asking all along, you made it unique! The beer mugs, the graffiti wall, the icons, the featured video, they're all brilliant! And the Beerchief ID, excellent! It's so subtle I never even realised it initially!

    Ok, that's enough praise for now, does anyone else care to step up the game? :D

    Ok guys, feedback! I've pondered these for a while, and here's what I've come up with:

    @ Barbie

    The header now is just TOP! It won't be beat in my books. Nice work!

    The body's layout is better, but I'd like to see proper symmetry for the top half at least i.e. make the members just one row to match the bands and have the video slap bang in the middle. You can change the headers to just 'Members' and 'Bands' in order to minimize the necessary width of the section headers.

    That's all I can think of for now, thanks again!


    @DustyDog

    It just so happens that I'm a big fan of more minimalist designs, so your entry is still up there for me!

    Some suggestions for the header:

    -The logo needs to be larger
    -A couple of creative ideas: the bouncers on a stage of some sort, or in front of a nightclub with door, barrier etc perhaps set on black background in keeping with our landing page and i think black would work with th green.
    -The header, as any photoshopper will know, isn't very elaborate or hard to create, so we'd like to see something more impressive in this department

    These are pointers to help you out, and I think if you can implement them with the desired effect it will come coin to a coin toss!

    Really hope this competition stays alive! Best of luck to you both and thanks for your hard work so far!

    Here it is again with some changes. I centralised the logo to keep with the centralisation of the entire page, which I personally think draws attention to the logo, then down the page much more effectively.

    Hi DustyDog,

    I can provide you with a .ai if that's any use?

    Well, it depends if you want it to be any bigger than what I showed above. What do you think of the changes?

    The changes were nice, but I would really like to see something more done.

    Can you elaborate on my header idea? What I'm seeing is a sort of "shady" looking back alley type nightclub entrance, so basically just a black wall, a street light sort of effect over the bouncers and the door.

    I think the logo smaller and over the door might work.

    Keep up the good work! :D

    That's nice, looking for something a bit more "lifelike" though, a la barbies, as though it's a photo of them standing there rather than a drawing/cartoon...

    Hmmm, I'd say mine is more life-like than Barbie's. If any look like a cartoon it's hers...

    I'll try to work on something, although I'm not sure how I'll go about it just yet. :)

    Excellent Barbie, just what we wanted to see!

    Just out of curiosity, we'd like to see it with a different idea on the navigation. We love the beer mug effect, and will definitely use it, but possibly not there.

    Thanks again :D
