    Hello Everyone :)

    Some of you may know me, I'm a web/graphic designer who used to participate here a lot. Anyway, I kind of turned more to the dark side (programming side :D) So I really don't have much time for anything, I would even participate in this contest if I had the time lol :p.. I'll stop the bla bla bla and go to the details:

    I'm looking for a PSD uncoded, sharp looking, web 2.0 design for a video website I'm developing. I'll do all the coding..
    NOTE: This is for an entire site design, not just the logo.

    The site domain will be: v i d e o . m n
    .mn stands for mongolia for those wondering.

    The site will use the following script, so you can use it to get the text parts for your design: http://video.bizhat.com/

    I'm terms of web 2.0 design, I'm looking for a site similar to Veoh.com You can get a lot of inspiration from there. Please don't copy from veoh, rather use as inspiration.

    In terms of colors I'm looking for black, red and blue; read and blue are the colors of the mongolian flag, you can get an idea from the colors here:

    http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&q=mongolia+flag&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wi

    The design must include also a design for the video player, and it's preloader, once again, just looking for graphics, you don't have to do anything with Flash or coding. If you don't understand what I mean, go to veoh.com and watch any video.

    Rules/Notes:

    1) I'm a web desiner myself so I will be very strict on what I'm lookingt for.
    2) Please water mark your designs. We don't want people stealing designs.
    3) Please no copyrighted copying and pasting. Keep me and yourserself out of trouble.
    4) I hold the right to declare a winner early if I really like a design.
    5) I hold the right to declare NO winner if I don't like any design.
    6) The winner will give all rights on the design upon the completion of the payment.
    7) Also, Post all your entries here, I will not accept PMed entries.
    8) Please only enter this contest if you read and agree with all these rules.


    Price:
    $250 Dollars - Prefer Paypal, but I will consider other methods of payment.

    Timeline:
    The contest will go for 7-10 Days, depending on the number of entries. Starting from this posts.


    Please post here or PM me if you have any question.
    I'm know the quiality of several designers here, so I know I will not be disapointed..
    Good Luck everyone :)

    P.S. Are you from Mongolia? I might have a translation job for you. PM me.

    Hello Gal, Thanks a lot for your entry, but this is for a whole page design, not just the logo. Perhaps I didn't make it clear enough. I will edit the description.

    Hello, Thanks for your entry, but this is way too similar to veoh. To be honest this has a 'copy-and-paste' feeling. I would like to see more artisitic/creative work.

    Thanks

    I WOULD do it, ( I'm not bad at web designing ) *cough *cough, but I don't really know if there are some really talented designers out there, and I don't want to spend 6 hours on 1 design just to be swat down by another person. So I guess I'll just see what others post up, and if they suck I will make one =P Just joking ( about the sucking part )

    I know how you feel :) I'm a designer myself. Something I learned is that with experience you build confidence. But I perfectly see your point. It has happened to me too, you spend a lot of time on something and suddenly you don't win, it's a killer blow that puts you down sometimes :p
    But as I always use to say to myself "if I don't try, I don't win".
    Perhaps a good side, on my personal experience, is that you build experince, experiment/explore with new techniques, and you also build a portfolio.

    Thanks for sharing your thought :)

    If you don't win, you can always save your design for another job.

    I think it's better, yet it lacks that sense of uniqueness:

    - The header is better, yet I feel it very weak. Specially the logo, it needs more contrast, Try playing with colors.
    - I really don't like video tape, can we get rid of that.
    - I would play with the text, it's boring and dull, it's the default text for the scipt.

    Neme, I'm going to be very honest with you, this is not going the direction I'm looking for. I suggest starting from scratch, Take only the text from the demo sites I posted. In other words don't please don't use the demo sites as a base for your design. Let go your imagination to come with something unique :)

    Also For all future entries everyone, can we make the logo to say "video.mn" instead of just video.

    Also guys please take your time, I'm not looking for a 15-minute "see if I win" design. As I said, I'm a designer myself so I'm very picky :p

    Thanks for you efforts
