Graphic Design Contests

**jim1228** · 11-03-2004, 06:44 PM

I would like a template for my site: everythingscary.com. I want to use my existing logo in the template design. The winner design will get $50.00 plus a free Unsolved Mysteries GHOSTS DVD

My site gets a lot of traffic and I will place a credit for your design work on every page of the design.

Please create a scary theme that can go with a white background. I will pay the winner via paypal.com and mail the DVD to you. Contest ends November 6th. I will notify the winner in this post.

Please post your work in progress

do you have any sites that you like that suit your description.. thanks

**Jake** · 11-03-2004, 07:09 PM

And colors you particularly want? I see you have two ads on the site now, are they going to remain the same with the new design? Or perhaps a skyscraper ad to replace one or both?

oh.. the master designer is competing with a very small designer... yours is going to be the best anyways...

**jim1228** · 11-03-2004, 07:11 PM

I want to keep the 728x90 banner on every page at the top. All other ads I can work around. I will look for another site design, however Im open to anything.

I like it but its to dark and Im trying to stay away from flash. It can be dark but has to have the white background for search results and link directory.

Well if you don't get any entrys, you obviously will have to extend the deadline or find another source of webdesign.
I'm up to my neck in projects, so I guess it's up to everyone else.

I am looking through your site and I am finding it quite confusing. What exactly do you want on the front page? What is that whole 'ghosts, are they real or not" thing for at the top? What is the movie preview for? And that little icon thing at the bottom is leaving me completly clueless.

You do need a redesign, and maybe a complete site revamp.

You said above that you need white parts for some sections. This is a site about scary things. White is not scary. The entire site should be based on DARK colors on a black background. If you sections to be white, you should get rid of those sections.

white actually can be a scary colour just like silence can be used as a scary sound

Well, yes it CAN be, but it is more difficult to make it look scary.

The contest is over and I’m debating on a few designs. Thanks to all who gave it a try.
