The Return Of John Doe Proxy! Now I Need A Site Design...

Hi again, All!

John Doe Proxy is back, and now I'm looking for a one page design (psd only) for the site

The page should be primarily black, and have space for Adsense blocks as per THIS template.

It should also have a nice and shiny address bar/button like THIS design.

Lastly, it should also incorporate THIS adapted version of Fidel_Castro's winning logo from a previous contest!

You can grab the psd of the logo and fonts HERE

This will be another 48 hour contest, can we say $50 for the winner?

Update: What the heck, let's say $75

Once again, I'm looking for Web 2.0 style.

Thanks, and I look forward to seeing your designs again. As normal, green reps for each entry, and plenty of feedback along the way.

Cheers,
Steve

 

Here's my first entry, can revise depending on how much you like it

EDIT: I hope my slight revision to fidel's logo is ok, no offence intended fidel



Feedback appreciated!

 

cool nice to see another comp by you steve

Here is my design, i can alter it if you wish, feedback appreciated

 

My entry:



All crit apprechiated.

 

Hey! Thanks, Mirror! Reps added

Here's what I like best about your design - the middle block - it makes the Adsense stand out, that is exactly my intention

I'd prefer the logo to remain black, though.

I like the description in the top right, but not 'underneath' the adsense block.

I also like your address bar and submit button (although please change that to black too!)

Here's what I'm aiming at:

The logo should remain intact, with the black background, prominent, and at the size provided.

The Adsense should stand out - exactly as Mirror has done!

The text box should also be black (please refer to the design request HERE)

Thanks, Mirror, a nice design! Keep up the good work!

Cheers,
Steve

 

any feedback on my design steve?

 

And mine

 

Guys - Sorry, got to watching 'Seconds From Disaster' on National Geographic

Feedback on it's way...and it's all positive.

Steve

 

Tropica and rupertValentino, Thank you for your 1st class designs. Reps added, obviously

OK, here it is -

Tropica - Stunning! As if you had read my mind. You have almost exactly captured the mood and look I am trying to achieve...even down to the colouring on the adsense ads.

Just a couple of requests, if that's ok?

I'd like the search bar to be towards the bottom of the fold, i.e. it should be 'difficult' for the visitor to see it at first, but when they do, it should seem intuitive to use - My primary aim is to get the visitor to click the ads, and therefore make me money

I LOVE the nav bar...can the ads go directly underneath it, followed by the welcome message, then the search bar, and finally the footer?

Tropica - once again, superb! Thanks!

rupertValentino - Your address bar/submit button is amazing! As are the option buttons underneath - fantastic! Very skilful work, and I'll reply to your earlier PM soon!

Although it might go against the grain (in terms of accessibilty), I'd like that address bar/button in black, for the reasons mentioned above.

I must admit, the standard of work here just blows my mind.

I had a tough enough time calling the previous contest, but this one has provided 3 first class entries within a couple of hours!

I'm not worthy
Steve

 

Alright, I'm quite determined to get a win under my belt, so here's my revision! Took me over an hour cos my friggin laptop is chugging along, so I hope you like it!

 

stevenfullman, do you consider white background?

 

Thanks, Mirror! I like your determination to win!

I'm afraid I haven't noticed any changes, though! Have you linked to your previous design, or am I just being stupid (my friends would jump to the second conclusion)

Thanks, Mirror!
Steve

 

Well I confused myself too actually! I uploaded the image with the same name to the same place on one of my hosting accounts so a quick refresh should do it!

 

here is my entry :



...............

everything is easy to change !

feedback needed !

thanks

Hey, zinruss - I like the design I think that's the perfect style for a banner, very elegant.

I would say though that I have a particular design in mind for this campaign though.

I would be interested in seeing your design in banner form, though, because it seems like Fidel has hit on a very brandable image with the anonymous guy.

Thanks,
Steve

 

Any luck with that refresh or shall I upload it again Steve?

 

Thank you so much. I am glad that you like the design. Please allow 5-10 minutes. I will attach one with black background for your perusal.

In the mean while, please refer back to my previous attachment. The bottom colume still blank. Do you have any in mind for this colume? More google ads, link to proxy or description of your site? Your input will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

 

edii - Nice design! Would you be able to keep the logo intact? I like the advertising banner, very smart!

Can you make the search bar look the same as the advertising banner, if you read above, the search bar should be in that style...but not so obvious (I know that sounds weird...but it's all about the ads! )

Thanks for joining the contest, reps added, and I look forward to seeing more of your work.

Guys (and Gals if there are any), thanks again. I was hoping for 1 or 2 designs tonight and have been blessed with some fantastic artwork.

Another hard choice!
Steve

P.S. Here's a sub-contest! Whoever writes a better tagline than my one gets $10!

 

Hey, Mirror! Nice nav bar!

Very original.

Would it look better without the square in the top right?

Great work, Mirror, thanks

Steve

 

You're welcome, and I think maybe links/description!

Thanks a loy,
Steve
