    @thelegendary: I like the top box quite a bit, the only thing it is missing is the 'search by keyword' box somewhere in the design.

    For the lower box, the biggest thing is I'd like the see the meet ideas 'to a rock concert with her' more prominent. It should be the central focus of the page, with the person's picture and info secondary. The points system boxes on the right can remain or be removed as you see fit, but are probably best minimized at least.

    @bnairb: My feedback to your submission is similar. I'd like the idea of each meet "for line dancing at the grizzly rose" to be the most important thing on the page. It should be more prominent that even in the mockup, but in yours it is less prominent. I also don't like all the text decoration (shadowing, outlining, etc.). I'd rather keep it clean like it is in the template. The top menu should be solid instead of translucent. The design with the line feels to distracting.

    @TJB10: Thanks for entering. The content should only be what appears on the original mockup here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/2nirdbl85e...ing%20page.psd. The goal is to apply the styling to that mockup. So while you did a great job extending the design, there is too much content on that page from the template. The submissions from @bnairb show what content should be on the page.

    @TJB10: Thanks. That's closer to what we are looking for. I'd provide the same feedback as to the others. The idea, 'for line dancing at the Grizzly Rose' should be the most prominent piece of it, not the button above it. I also don't think the middle section is needed... it'd be better to move that information over to the left for better use of space. Finally, I'd like to see the search box separated from the filters more. Either a bigger 'or' or on a separate line or something. Looking close!

    @TJB10: We're getting much closer, thanks for applying my suggestions well. The MeetMe should be in the right box at the top of it, not the left box. The all caps looks weird/too intense for the descriptions on the right, and the color is a little too bright. Besides that, maybe the button should be on the right of that box instead of below? Or below and on the right? Those changes and I think it will all come together. Especially since you appear to be the only one working on it :)

    @gabimolocea: I like the design a lot. The 'talk bubble' format is cool, and it allows it to feel very clean.

    The design is missing a search box (there are separate search and filter functions) as well as a more info link. I don't like the color of the request to go button... a different green or a blue or orange would be better. It would probably also be good if the button had the inner-lighting like those in the template. The white boxes containing each person and option, as well as the menu's in the filter box, look too square... I believe there are rounded ones in the template. With the talk bubble format, it would be cool to see the 'MeetMe' prior to the idea, possible in a different font and/or color. It'd also be great to see an example with longer text for the idea.
