Hello people. I would like a home page design for a new site i'm planning that is similar to http://moourl.com/x37lo. The features will be pretty much the same as the referring site but with a completely different design... I do not want the "login + featured user" field at all. All the rest of the elements are to be included. Design : For the design part i want it to be "very very ROCKish" + Grunge. You can preview some images i have bookmarked here http://moourl.com/dyjs0 (to understand Rockish). I will list a few sites(not rock or grunge) that i like parts of there designs and wait for you guys to implement some stuff off them: a) http://moourl.com/kwr3y This dude has amazing taste, he has used a very very nice black + transparent border/frame around the main body of his blog. Also the background has a cool light effect on the also very nice pattern he has chosen. b) Same designer http://moourl.com/aw9kq. Here i like all the blog but particularly the way he has shadowed every "box" as if they are actual photo's. c) I like the grunge here http://moourl.com/e2in6 d)Please include twitter/facebook/myspace badges. I hope the above helps a bit. I am open to all fresh creativity but remember grunge + rock-ish designs only please. Main color for the sites body+tabs is black of course as for the background i'm open to anything that you can propose and looks good. The name of the site will be "iRock" If the winner uses images from iStock.com We will purchase them once the winner is chosen and needs them. Winning designer may be able to make additional pages for the site (with additional payment of course.) All work must be original and be delivered in psd and png formats. I would like the contest to close on saturday midnight, so i can review all the entries and pick the winner but if needed it will remain open until monday. Good luck people
I'll make an attempt at it. EDIT (2 Hours Later): Here is my go. Some things you should know: All Grunge effects done by hand (minus the blood stains and the gigantic finger print on the top-right) If you find that it'll be a legal issue/copyright issue, let me know and I will delete them and I will create/find usable ones. All fonts will be given to you if you need them. The Images (example: the stereo, 3 images at the bottom) are all from the site you linked in your first & original post in this thread. This is not a full-scale preview, I've sized it down for stealing purposes (not by you, but by others), and have added lots of watermarks. If you would like, a full sized preview + softer watermarks, I'll be more than happy to provide you with one. I'm a straightforward person and extremely easy to talk to, so let me know if you need anything changed to make this your favorite design in this contest. Look forward from hearing from you. Regards, Luke
@DrZapp, first of all thanx for your entry. Not bad attempt but i think you have over done it with all the grunge features everywhere... For e.g the top text is hardly readable, same goes for the bottom 3 search option boxes. Overall you are on the right track but it needs work.... And yes please remove the blood stains.
Hello, Here is our first try. As soon as we saw your contest, we started to work. Because we like this king of contests. Feedback appreciated. Thanks, RT Design Studio.
@radutrifan thanks for your entry mate. Very nice initial mockup.... here is my pointers i think you should work on: a) The icons are very good but in a wrong place i think they would look better in the footer in place of where you have "design by Rtdesignstudio" b) the guitar in the logo again is a nice idea but it doesnt blend nicely with the other colors there. c) The menu on the left looks very plain and the color is not bad but combined with the text used i think needs something else d) The search in the left corner i think needs to be a different tone for the active tab than the surrounding grey area. In other words your mock up is nicely designed and the layout of all the elements are very good. Just the small bits need work. Looking forward for your next entry ........
Thank you for a quick feedback. We will make the revisions that you asked in couple of hours. But here you go with a new layout, totaly different from the previous one. Waiting quick feedback for this one, too. You decide which of them suits best your needs. Thanks, RT Design Studio
@radutrifan thanks for your second entry buddy. This one "rocks" just as well only it has too much text here. The background is very very good. The icons are better and more suitable than the first design. The "torn" outline/border suits the background very much. The logo here is very good but needs the guitar or some kind of illustration as well. But all the inside content and elements are not what i was looking for.... The navigation feature does not show the visitor which tab is active in any way. The "get started" buttons again don't match the rest of the design. In general all the inside features are not suitable.... You guys are very creative Keep it up and we might find a Great "WOW" design here !
Thank you for your quick feedback. Here is our third variant. We have taken the elements that you like from our previous verisions and created this design: Tell us what other things we could change. Thanks, RT Design Studio
@thekingofkings, something is happening here dude. There are parts that i like alot and others that i dont. For instance the middle part of your drsign seems like a bad copy+paste thing. The background and frame you chose is a very very good choice. Waiting for version2
@Xavier_3d, thanks for your entry man but it doesnt seem to have the elements it should. Please check description and links again if you plan to revise your entry.
@radutrifan, looking good man. 3 things need attention... a) we need to place a "register or login" option somewhere- i propose in place of where you have the icons. Move the icons in footer where it says "designed by....." B)use the logo from second revision. C) this one is regarding the header which i dont know if i can explain correctly what i mean... The header seams to be pasted on top of the background and if you check the edges of the header you can see it. I think it should fade in a way it doesnt show the "line". This is a very small detail that is easy fixed, you can do it when and if you end up with the job. Once more thanks for your 3rd revision
@radutrifan, all is good but the login section. a)use the logo from second revision. i mean the colors of that as well b)this one is regarding the header which i dont know if i can explain correctly what i mean... The header seams to be pasted on top of the background and if you check the edges of the header you can see it. I think it should fade in a way it doesnt show the "line". This is a very small detail that is easy fixed, you can do it when and if you end up with the job. - this one you did not work on, we need to correct this last detail. If your are chosen tomorrow please tell me if you are willing to make those final adjustments. i am waiting for last minute submissions as well but i dont see many willing to enter.
