Graphic Design Contests

**DevelopedWeb** · 02-01-2005, 04:16 PM

DevelopedWeb.com is currently in need of additional experienced web designers to add to our team. Our business is expanding, and we need more workers to keep up with clients' demands.

I have recently been given a funeral home web design project by a client of mine through whom I receive a great deal of design work. I have chosen to use this layout project I have been assigned as the "test" project for a new designer.

It will need to be green and ivory, and the name of the funeral home is Allen and Shaw Cremations. Those are the only specifications I have been given. I know from experience that my client prefers horizontal navbars to vertical ones, and that he also doesn't like excessive use of italic text. The layout should also look as "elegant" as possible.

Some examples of funeral home sites DevelopedWeb has designed so far:

http://www.westsidefuneralhome.com/
http://www.crealfuneralhome.com/
http://www.harmonfuneralhome.net/
http://www.dobiesfuneralhome.com/
http://www.zionhillmortuary.com/

Here's the hard part: the layout needs to be designed very quickly. My client is big on quick turnaround, so I'm passing that responsibility onto the designer in this task.

If you are interested, get started as soon as possible. The information given here is all the information you need--green and ivory, and take it from there. I have also been told that the funeral home likes sunsets, but incorporating a sunset into the layout is definitely optional (especially given the ivory and green color combination).

The pay for this project will be $100, paid in full as soon as I receive payment from my client. More importantly, however, it will lead to a great deal of future design work through my company.

Good luck! Please PM me if you have any questions, and as I said before--if you're interested, get started ASAP!

Payment can be made via check, PayPal, etc. If you have a special payment type request, PM me for more info.

I had a quick go but i aint got much time. So here lemme know wot u think

Thanks for the quick reply, martian2k4. I like the image in the lower-left corner, but the layout could use some work.

One thing I forgot to mention before: the links on the navbar will be (in order): Home, About Us, Services, Merchandise, Directions, Contact Us.

Another pointer: the hex code for ivory is #FFFFF0 (ivory is not actually the same as white; clients can be very picky about these sorts of things).

Serif or even cursive fonts--at least in the header image--also help to give these types of layouts a more elegant feel.

How quick do you need it? ...Today? I'm not currently at home, and don't have all of my software available to me. I could make you a very good template.

**DevelopedWeb** · 02-01-2005, 07:11 PM

I'll just leave it at "as soon as possible." If not today, how's tomorrow sound?

**Logical Program** · 02-01-2005, 07:13 PM

I can definitely have one to you by tomorrow, if not today...

I look forward to hearing from both of you. Thanks again for the prompt response--you can e-mail me (josh at developedweb dot com) once the layouts are complete, or you can PM me through these forums.

I have actually found a designer who will most likely be doing my funeral home design work from now on, but if you are still interested I could always use more layout concepts--if it's good enough, there will be more work down the line for you.

If you're interested, throw something together and show me what you can do--you can e-mail me at josh at developedweb dot com to continue this discussion.
