Graphic Design Contests

**zman** · 09-06-2005, 07:00 PM

Ok all,

Im getting ready to do a major overhaul of my directory and need to get it caught up completely.

I want a new look. I will be redesigning around the logo so I am giving you guys a free for all with the design but would like the colors to hover around some green/blue/grey action but am flexible.

The directory is at http://www.directory-z.com

I will be giving you a sitewide link on the directory for 1 year. This comes out to about $165.00 as that is what I charge several of my advertisers for the same privelege.

ALL PARTICIPANTS GET A FREE LISTING

I'll have this contest up until midnight pacific time on Tuesday morning (or Monday night).

Eric

My quick attempt:

Let me know if it's anything like what you want...

**zman** · 09-07-2005, 05:22 PM

lilg, I just cant quite grasp onto the fonts you are using. I tried but just cant see them working. cannonballdude, nice work there man. What about some shadow action?

**LGR** · 09-07-2005, 05:41 PM

Here's my attempt.....

**zman** · 09-07-2005, 05:45 PM

Spud, I dont see an image.

ahh ok there it is.

**LGR** · 09-07-2005, 05:57 PM

Any thoughts, zman.....

**zman** · 09-07-2005, 06:03 PM

Well to be honest yours is very clean, in fact the cleanest of them all. Im just not seeing what I am after yet.

Im looking for clean and modern. Fresh and new, but with the same colors.

Im not sure about the books but I see what you were thinking. This thread will require a lot of thinking on my part.

**CannonBallGuy** · 09-07-2005, 06:17 PM

More shadow action:

Better?

**LGR** · 06:50 PM

Version two.....

I could further the design by pulling the 'transport lines' out of the screen, the idea being to accentuate the masses of information available at Directory-Z and that it is almost 'brought to life' for the user.

**zman** · 09-07-2005, 07:23 PM

LGR, I like it. I like it a lot.

**Kaediem** · 09-08-2005, 05:11 PM

Thought I'd take a stab at this too!

**gringo** · 09-08-2005, 05:54 PM

This is fun!

**zman** · 09-08-2005, 06:06 PM

Lisa, the font is hard to see.

gringo, needs to have a white background.
