Hi guys. I'm looking for a footer for my new site, and I thought what better way to get a nice one than to hold a contest. Before I start with my specification, I'd like to give you an idea of my contests. ALL entries will receive feedback. If I don't like your idea then I will say 'sorry, but no'. I always try to give good constructive feedback for you to improve your entries though. My past contests have been very successful, so just check them out: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=1380069 http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=1272655 http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=1213381 THE FOOTER So on to the important stuff. I basically want a really nice footer designed for my new site. The main background is #070D12, but like I say I quite like the footers with a horizontal line and then another background colour (see PSD Tuts for example) Structure: I really like footers which have a continous horizontal bar and then a simple background (see examples below) underneath that. Other than that I'm pretty much going to say 'go wild and use your own creativity!' Include: The footer will need 4 columns: Links to different pages in the site (ie, home, FAQ, contact) Links to other sites (5 links) A 'top themes' column where there will be 2 little thumbnails with text next to them A tag cloud Footers I like To get you in the creative mood, here are some footers I like: http://tutsplus.com/ http://www.yodiv.com/ http://www.justskins.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/kailoon.png Get going! - Like I said, I want creativity. I know I've been fairly vague, but like I say I have a reasonable idea of what I want (something similar to the examples, yet unique!). - I will give feedback/some response to ALL entries, so you won't be wasting your time. - The contest ends in 72 hours. NO EXCEPTIONS. - $25 will be paid to the winner via paypal. I look forward to seeing what you come up with
Hi There, Can I ask what your new site is based around like the topic, this would be me and others alot. Thanks!
Sorry, can't believe I missed that out! It's a website which will be based around Wordpress Themes. There will be a showcase section and a design/Wordpress blog attached to the site.
No Problem! Nobodys perfect, have you got a set colour scheme or do you just want us to go wild behond your imaginations, aha.
Do you already have a logo or header designed, and are there any colors you prefer? **edit** - I guess I was writing my post as Lucas0123 was posting his!

Hi Lucas, thanks for the entry. Feedback: I like it, but it's still a bit simple for my liking. You have got the 'clean' look I was going for, bit I wanted something really exciting that would get noticed, so basically just make it a bit more exciting. Also, remember that on of the columns needs to be a tag cloud. I do like the colours though. A very good first entry
