Graphic Design Contests

**krth1985** · 03:14 PM

Hi guys.

I am useless at graphic design so I need your help.

I am after the following to represent the website RIFFWARS Online Music Comeptitions. Free Lessons. Free Tabs. Music Links & More. RIFFWARS.COM

2 x standard 468x60 web banners

2 x 81x30 buttons

1 x Site logo which we will use to print into tshirts etc

Riffwars.com is an online music community filled with musicians, and music lovers. They are able to play their instruments online, chat to other musicians (message board coming shortly), learn and improve through online articles and tabs, and compete against other musicians.

The banners/buttons will be used to advertise the site, so will not be used on the website. There for you dont need to worry about integrating them into the current site design.

Some of the tag lines i use for text links are:

'Riffwars.com - Learn it, play it, win it'
and 'So you think you can play? - Riffwars.com'.

2 x standard 468x60 web banners

2 x 81x30 buttons

1 x Site logo which we will use to print into tshirts etc

I have no idea how much I should be asking for these, so I will let you guys post your ideas and a price (per banner/button) and I will pick the ones I like the best!

I am only able to make payment via paypal.

Competition ends Tuesday 12 noon GMT.

Thanks

Do you have any images we can use that are not copyrighted for the banner?

**theinspirer** · 08-31-2006, 11:20 AM

Well, i think you should give some suggestions to my designs as the contest ends tomorrow.

**CoMmAnDo** · 08-31-2006, 12:34 PM

Hello

A couple of logos based on a same concept:

V1:

V2:

V3:

They fit both on white and black background, can go with or without the "learn, compete, win".

I can also make a more realistic gold effect if you want

You can have all 3 psds for $25

**theinspirer** · 08-31-2006, 02:12 PM

I like V1 style. But will these effects last while Printing?

**Vanso** · 02:54 PM

Here's a logo that can be easily vectorized and printed on a t-shirt and that would look really good on a website too:

Banners and buttons will be submitted tonight or tomorrow

**DesignerChick4U** · 08-31-2006, 03:02 PM

Here is an idea i had, The other banners and buttons you need can follow this design. Please click on the thumbnail to see in full size. thanks

**theinspirer** · 08-31-2006, 03:16 PM

It all depends on the type of printing (direct or with a special type of paper)
Also the type of printer has a big effect...

My las experience with t-shirt printing was with using that special paper, the printer prints on the paper and then the picture is put on the t-shirt like a tatoo, and since the printer was really good we got all the effects out just like viewed on a monitor (the text there had a really shiny chrome effect and shadows with a little more opacity)...

hi guys. thanks for your entries. i have extended the comp until tuesday 12 noon GMT. that will give me more time to give you guys feedback etc.

**CoMmAnDo** · 08-31-2006, 03:29 PM

Forgot to mention that the original psd is 1024x1024

**krth1985** · 08-31-2006, 03:40 PM

The Inspirer: Thanks for your submissions. I have replied to the PM you sent. I forgot to mention something regarding the second banner, could you make the slogan text bigger? I dont really like the logo as it doesnt really fit in with the site. I like the dark button, but could you possible change the musical notes to a guitar?

Rakien: I, the only images we have on the site is the one on the index page. You are welcome to use that one, or copy it. I have no probs with that.

Commando: I like the way you have used the star. V2 is my favourite. Could you possibly use darker colours? Think heavy metal

Vanso: Like your design. Like the colours, nice and simple. Would look really good printed on the back of a tshirt!

DesignerChick: Thanks for your submission. I like the idea you have, but its not the right look for the site. Could you possibly do something with a guitar, or a guitar player?

Thanks for your submissons guys, your making really hard to choose!!
