Discussion in 'Design Contests' started by ZyreX, Feb 13, 2015.

    Hello,


    Time for another contest.
    This time is something a bit more complex than a logo.

    http://alexcalinov.com
    https://twitter.com/alexcalinov
    http://facebook.com/alexcalinov
    My client is interested in a Cover ( banner ) for Facebook, Twitter and Google+ .
    The final output will be pretty much the same , with minor tweaks to fit the content , but different sizes:
    Facebook: 851 pixels wide by 315 pixels tall
    Twitter: 1263px x 421px - I know twitter recommends 1500 with 500 , but apparently because of some resizing/responsive functions, a lot of people recommend 1263px x 421px
    Google: 1080px x 608px - Again, Google recommends 2120px x 1192px , but I think the one I mentioned before should be enough, from what other people recommend.

    So , like I mentioned before , you only have to design/create one photo cover , but tweak some of its content to fit the sizes mentioned above.

    Also , please be aware that on Twitter and Facebook, the profile photo it's above the cover photo, so it will hide anything behind . Don't put anything important around that area.

    Topic:

    The main topic is Internet Marketing: Social Media, Emails, Pay Per Click , SEO, etc..
    So as an idea , you could do like a cloud and spread around social media icons, and other graphs representing an increase in sales for example, cash, etc.. Like an icon cloud or tag cloud, etc..
    But you don't necessarily need to follow this , it was just an example, use your own imagination and show your skills..
    Obviously I want this to be unique , creative, professional looking, etc..

    Text to include:

    The only text that I would like you to include, unless you might want to add something else, is:
    Title: Online Shortcuts
    Subtitle: Skip the queue and get ahead of your competition


    No particular colour scheme in mind, so I am open to any ideas.

    There you go , I think this pretty much summarises what my client would like .
    If you have any questions, please ask.



    The winner will be announced on 17 Feb, but because it's a more complex contest, I could extend it few more days in case needed.
    I can stop the competition at any time earlier than the deadline mentioned above, if I find something that my client likes.

    I would suggest all the entries to be made by posting in this thread, as my client does NOT have access to my personal messages.

    I am more than happy to assist and give feedback on all the entries.

    The winner will have to provide me with the final output files in the sizes mentioned above, plus source files and other resources used, ex: fonts. As part of our transaction, he/she has to agree that I will hold the final copyright.

    Thank you and Good luck !

    @Illidan_000 - Thank you for your entry . Indeed looks clean and professional, but it's not unique . It's based on my client's website theme, even the icons are taken from there.

    Like I mentioned in my main post, my client is looking for something unique.
    This is not a 10$ logo, and it's not a 5-10 mins job. Sorry.

    My client likes it , but it's not really impressed.

    PS for everyone: I know everyone is putting time and effort into this, even though there will be one winner. I will do my best not to waste anyones time. So if your design has potential and it can be improved, I will ask for it , if not , thank you for your entry, no hard feelings.
