(Uncoded) $65 One Page Web Design For NewsPaperGirl.com

Discussion in 'Design Contests' started by Digital Noise, Oct 14, 2008.

  1. #1
    I am looking to redesign NewsPaperGirl.com. Here are the specs I am looking for:

    Header - The header needs to have the author's picture and her logo (see below). It would be nice if you can also remove the background in the author's picture. Here is an example [blog.penelopetrunk.com]of a blog which does this, but this example also is too plain. Please feel free to add colors and your imagination into the header.

    Navigation - The navigation will be horizontal under the header, and should be an off setting color like what you see here [divinecaroline.com].

    Sidebar - I am looking to have a sidebar on the right side of the page, that has similar designed subheadings like this site [internetpaul.com]. Also, there needs to be a sidebar footer like what you find on this site when you scroll all the way to the bottom of the page [frickaseed.com]. I also like the footer on this website.

    Any stock images you use in your design I will pay for upon winning the contest.

    All questions and submissions must be submitted through the thread. I will not take any PM-ed designs or questions. This way I don't have to repeat myself and the general contest can benefit from your talent and insights.

    This contest has a time frame of 72 hours but will extend longer until a desired winner is chosen. Best of luck, and thank you in advance for your great talent.

    Can we re-design the logo to better fit with our theme?

    I might make an entry later if possible.

    @willhaynes: I am not opposed with you changing the logo to make it work.

    What type of look are you looking for? Professional? More personal?

    FEEDBACK


    @JMN:
    The author is looking for a blend of personality and professionalism.


    @reuf:
    Again, we are looking for a little of both. Professional but fun.

    @Umisaint:
    Thanks for being the first to post your design. With the header the logo seems too dettached from the whole look. Also, the picture of the author doesn't quite fit either. The navigation needs to go all the way across and not stop at the side bar. I do like the subheaders for the sidebar. This is a start. I look forward to your revisions.

    @JMN: I understand your concern, but don't worry. I have been doing contests long enough to see when someone is copy someone else. I have never awarded a designer who ripped off someone else's design. So, it's not to someone's advantage to copy. Hope that helps.

    FEEDBACK

    @badmasketa & raja: I had the client look at your designs and this was her feedback:

    I apologize, I forgot that she wanted to do two sidebars on the right (my mistake). A good example of a site she likes with two sidebars is marketingpilgrim. com

    Also, raja, I am not sure what you are doing with the author's picture but the pixelation doesn't look right. Hope this feedback helps, and thank you both again for your efforts.

    ANSWER TO PM
    @raja: I am fine with watermarks.

    NOTE TO ALL: As stated in the opening thread I do not take PM's. Any other PM's will be ignored. Sorry to be so strict on this rule, but I've learned it is easier to do a contest this way. Thank you for your understanding.
