Thanks, and more can be added, you cant really see the template textures etc, and how i have it with web 2.0 style etc. so if you want the full size review PM me and i will provide you with how u can see it etc. Im can extend it of course and add more color to it. And nice entry davey!
Davey's is great as well. We're going to close the contest at 12 midday tomorrow GMT, (in about 20 hours time), so anyone else who is interested please hurry. We've had a request if someone who cant yet post on the forum PM us a design, so I'll link to that when its uploaded in the interest of fairness. When the contest is over we'll contact the winner and leave feedback here for everyone else.
As promised, this competition is now closed, and no late entries will be accepted. Thanks for your efforts, everyone. The quality of some the entries has been brilliant. There are three designs that we are now considering. There WILL be a winner from one of these three designs, which will be announced tonight once I've had a chance to talk to my colleagues, as it's really to close to call by myself. Those three designs are; Jorge05r, DaveyBoy and steveorm3l. Everyone wanted feedback, so here it is! I,'ll be honest, but please remember that we didn't specify a whole lot about what we wanted, so some of these designs were very good, but just didn't have the right look we were after! RNH; The gradient and lack of alignment put me off this one initially, but I feel it also suffers from a lack of focus. Nothing really stood out. Riya: This was a really nice design, I'm liking the >> arrows and the font. However, we were looking for a gaming site like 1up.com, and this felt more like a clan design, so not what we were really after. steveorm3l: This is a really intelligent design. I'd probably had put the story selector above the news, although I'm sure that could be easily remedied. Having the banner at the bottom looked great, very clear and clean. If I had to make any criticism, its that the review boxes seem square while the other boxes seem slightly rounded, although that might just be my eyes playing tricks on me. Davey: This is another brilliant attempt and just what we were looking for. I like the arrow cut into the main titles to give it a bit of extra flair, the widescreen type screenshots on the bottom of the page and the eye catching layout. It's great how you've managed to fit show much on the page without leaving it cluttered and overwhelming the reader. I can't think of any criticisms except I'm not a fan of the color. Jorge: This is the only dark design we got, and it really stands out. The main picture box is probably the most eye catching of all designs. If we had a 1-5 selector underneath that like in steves design, I think it would look even better. I think out of everyone you department from typical design the most, and the general feel of the site is very appealing. Love the little arrows. Aight: I am a fan of this design, and the only reason it didn't make it to the final three is how impressive the quality has been. Again, another big featured box, and a great place to put the ads without ruining the page. I like how the review section is a different colour, and the shadows work well. The boxes were a little to rounded for my taste though, and the gradient looked a bit cheap. It was just missing that little bit extra the other three designs had. Tevion: This is the best design not to make it to the final three. Everything felt in the right place and the little widescreen picture on the top stories actually worked well to replace the lack of a big box the other designs used. However, not having any proper titles for the sections dropped the overall impact out a bit, and I'm not sure about the featured games section having 3 shots but only two descriptions. That's it, and thanks for the entries. We'll be running a proper logo competition when we've paid up the winner here tonight, so if any of you are graphic as well web designers I hope you'll give it a go.
Thank you for the feedback, The boxs are curved over like the rest, thats why i offered to show u the bigger screenshot since this we a bit to small. There are a lot of details taht you cant see in the resized image. Any changes can be made to the template, any additions etc. Im always willing to work with the client till they are satisfied.
thanks for the feedback.... ps: I didn't get to finish the logo as you see it's a little plain but if by any chance I win I'll be ready to complete it. thanks
