    Hello all,

    Happy New Year everyone!

    I am looking for some talents here to help us redesign graphics on our website at: http://www.capitaldatarecovery.com/index.html

    I do not want to touch the header, but I am interested in upgrading/enhancing the existing images on every page as you click.
    The existing images are old and need a new look.
    I would like to keep the size of the images the same (do not want to change the HTML code), but want to make images more appealing and up to the standards.
    ** You don't need to upgrade the existing photo. I need new ones instead. Something more modern and matching the website.

    There are not too much graphics on the website.
    My preference is that it's done in vector (ai + gif and/or png and/or jpg will be required too).
    Will pay $50 via paypal to the winner.

    Deadline for this project is by Sunday, January 6th.

    Thank you in advance and hope to see some nice work here!

    Hello everyone again,

    I received 6 PMs overnight. Please post all your work here. I am not always at the computer and can't open\reply to every PM.
    Please post all your work in this thread. This is easier for me to manage as well it's fair to other contestants.

    There is also a huge time difference between us, so I can't respond to PM and delay this by a day.

    P.S. If someone wants to work in photoshop and product psd file, that's fine too.

    Thank you!

    Hello there,

    Thanks so much for your submission. It's a first and the only one so far. I do hope to see more work here, hopefully by tomorrow we will see more participants.

    I will be straightforward if I may:

    The first graphics - toolbox: I would prefer something more related to the field of data recovery. Maybe a hard drive. The reason we had a microscope as it shows what we do, and we use microscope a lot in our work.
    A good quality graphics with the microscope would be nice actually. Or anything else, but related to the field.


    Second icon: 100% - is a good one, but I am still open to options if you decide to change it.


    Third - lock. This one I didn't like.

    Digital media icons - I would like to see other examples too.

    Operating system - we can keep the old one, but enhance it if possible, or find more modern icons and "assemble" them into one icon as on the current page, without color background.


    All images need to match the website and they should flow with the design.

    Thanks a lot again and hope to see more work posted here.

    cassius_18:

    It's better, but still, not something I would definitely want to change on the website immediately. So far your work is a better one, but due to a very small amount of contestants I can't finalize this post and declare the winner as I didn't get the results I expected.
    We may have to give it another try in a week or so.



    2jay2xtreme2125 and 2scottilicious:

    I do like smaller icons, but again, that's not something I would use to change what's currently on the website.
    File types are too crowded as well.
    2jay: media formats - you used same raphics as cassius_18.

    2scottilicious: your icon samples are not flowing with the overal site design.


    I will have to close this contest for now due to inability to get more contestants at this time. Please keep your entries, as I will reopen this next week again hoping to see more people to participate.
    At this point I can't say I am 100% satisfied with the change and ready to use it and I can't chose the winner based on two entries, one of which is very similar.
    If I name a better graphic work, it's by cassius_18 so far, but again, I need to see more people in order for this contest to be a "contest".

    DP, what happened? Is it's because of the holiday season? I used to see a lot more activity before.

    I appreciate everyone participated so far, and I will have to temporarily close this for now. Will try again next week to see if more people are able to participate. I hope this is fair.
