    You may have already seen this thread, which I posted a few hours ago. Some of you may have already started on the design. Well, I've decided to double my initial prize of $50. The winner will now walk away with $100 + the bonus below! :D Good Luck!

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------

    Hi again,

    This is my 3rd contest in 2 weeks...and hopefully again this one will give you plenty to get creative about! :)

    I'm looking for a web page layout for a new site:

    EasyPhotoshopCS3.com

    The site will be selling a collection of 42 Photoshop CS3 video tutorials, so obviously I'd like the site graphics to be super slick to show off the benefits of learning Photoshop!! :D

    At the moment, I have no preference to colour schemes etc - so you have free reign over the design.

    What I am looking for though is:

    A Header Graphic
    A Footer Graphic
    A Custom PayPal Buy Now Button

    ...and possibly an advertising banner, but I'll consider paying a little extra if someone can produce that too! :)


    ...All brought together into a final page layout.

    Please don't wait until you have the finished design before entering (unless you're really quick!) - I'd prefer to see your concepts first!

    The winner gets $100, plus a copy of the 42 videos (about 8 hours of content)

    This will be a minimum 48 hour contest, which will start as soon as the first design comes in.

    Thanks folks, and as ever I really look forward to seeing your designs.

    Green Reps to everyone who enters, of course, and plenty of feedback along the way!

    Cheers,
    Steve

    Nice one, Tropica -

    You very nearly won my John Doe Proxy contest last week, so I know you'll come back with something cool! :)

    Cheers,

    Thanks, Tropica! Nice use of the Adobe feather! :)

    Looks a bit...'bloggy' rather than a sales page, though, if that makes sense?

    I'd like to see more photoshop 'effects' in the design - I'm looking for a tasteful use of gradients, styles etc...I suppose. Basically this is your chance to show off!

    Because it'll be a sales page, the header needs to be bolder, more attention capturing, I think - something that says, "I need to buy these videos..NOW!"

    I hope that is constructive, and if there's any pointers you want, let me know!

    Cheers,
    Steve

    Thanks for entering, [x[x]x] - actually, I feel honoured, you're a bit of a legend in this forum, I've heard!

    I like the design, nice page curl!

    It still looks too...I don't know how to phrase it...it doesn't make me want to buy a set of Photoshop videos.

    I want you to show off! Show your skills, give me some knockout effects...basically, show me some graphics that will make people want to know what YOU know.

    This will be a sales pitch page, a one page website...with your graphics, a sales pitch and a buy now button!

    Thanks for your entry, [x[x]x]!

    Reps added!

    Cheers,
    Steve

    Lol, thanks for the kind words :) Really appreciate it... But I don't think I'm a Legend :rolleyes:, correct me if I'm wrong :p
    There are a lot of brilliant designers here, which are better than me... And I think you can expect some more nice entries!

    anyways I'll try my best...

    That's getting better, [x[x]x] !

    Nice software box! :D

    Once again, the brief of this design is that the header should have a real 'WOW' factor - i.e. look what can be achieved by watching these videos!

    The header can be bigger - there's no need for the nav buttons, because this will be a single page 'sales pitch'

    The header can have more images, more effects, anything that shows off what can be done in Photoshop.

    Hope that helps, and thanks for your revision.

    Thanks,
    Steve

    Just an update, all!

    The best 3 designs will also get copies of the videos. :) That's 42 videos covering all aspects of PS CS3, about 8 hours of content.

    Cheers,
    Steve
