Graphic Design Contests

**recedo** · 05-23-2005, 01:21 PM

Hi,

I am looking for a html (will take png/psd but would prefer the html to be coded) template for part of my site at http://www.notsounknown.co.uk.

The area I would like to be re-designed is the 'sell your music' section, http://www.notsounknown.co.uk/sunshop/sell/. This area has been put together very quickly and I feel it does not look very professional, but do not have the time to work on it at the moment.

The template must fit inside the current header and footer and must fit in with the rest of the sites design.

The text for the various sections will be re-written to sound more appealing, but this will be done by us in the future. What we would like is a new design that attracts people and makes them want to sell their music through us. I would like the key points illustrated on the first page and areas to include images/other text on the other pages, as well as the main content.

Background: The website is a new mp3 download site for unsigned alternative bands in the UK to sell their music. As well as just selling their music we also help to promote them (magazine adverts, flyers, posters etc), produce free cds for record shops, organise gigs and events, and so on. We do not currently have many bands, but are looking to increase this dramatically, I feel that the design of this area could make a big difference.

The prize for this contest will be $100 paid by PayPal, if there is a design I like. Time limit is one week from now (23rd May) but I would like to see some submissions asap as we are keen to get the area online.

Any questions or comments please post and I'll reply asap.

Thanks in advance, I look foward to seeing what you can do.

Hey recedo! I may jump in this one if I can get another project wrapped up soon.

And now you're telling

I spent two hours while looking for it... Just to notice I actually already had it, haha. Well, it's my own fault, I should have just asked in first place.

**recedo** · 05-24-2005, 04:14 AM

sorry, my bad, someone PM'd me to ask for it and I realised I hadn't included it!

**Halbarad** · 05-25-2005, 04:33 AM

my entry, hope you like it. Fits the style of the site and yet its a bit new.

Here's my submission. Hope you like it!

**recedo** · 05-25-2005, 11:40 AM

Thats nice, I'd prefer if there was some form of border around the text though, although that can easily be sorted.

**fluke** · 05-25-2005, 11:50 AM

If you choose mine, I can easily add a box around the text.

**recedo** · 05-25-2005, 11:56 AM

Thanks. What I would really like is a couple of boxes, probably on the right hand side, where I can place some key phrases and/or images.

**fluke** · 05-25-2005, 12:16 PM

Here's the revised one. It's too big to just insert, so here's the link:

the sizes of the boxes on the right can be different, I just figured maybe if you're going to put a picture, that's about the size it should be.

**recedo** · 05-25-2005, 12:22 PM

I prefer it like that. Thanks

Here's something I made (takes a while to load), I would like to know your opinions about it so far: http://koti.mbnet.fi/miia/sellyourmusic.html

This is just an image, not a coded/finished version (but if needed, I'd be willing to code it). The flash animation is just something I made based on the one you had on your main site, but it could be replaced by an image or text or whatever. Also the bottom part of the site is missing because as I said, this is not the finished product, this is just to show you the vision I had and to ask you if there's something you'd like to be changed etc.
