Graphic Design Contests

**lucidly.com** · 11-09-2006, 10:52 PM

I posted this as a poll earlier, and I think that might've thrown some off, this is a design contest.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

FOR: http://www.Lucidly.com

Type of Contest :
banner and a not too complicated logo

Payment:
By Paypal.

Prize :
$20-$50 ($20 for only banner, $20 for only logo, $35 for logo and banner, other bonuses included)
(Make an advertising banner for my site and get paid double if I like it and decide to use it, there are no guidelines on this, just make it look good. The banner/header and logo are first priority though)

Contest End Date & Time :
10 days from this post time

Size Requirements :

Banner 760x85 (mandatory) and 960x85 (optional); logo (incorporate into the banner somehow, but also create a separate logo that simply has rectangular dimensions)

Color Requirements :

Have it fit well with the site-> Lucidly.com

General Requirements :

Have it fit well with the dreaming theme and the colors of the site.

Additional Information:

Have it include something dreamscapey, and possibly something subtle, kind of like the man on the mountain now, and the face in the sky. Just try different things, maybe try the current banner in a more dark night where the mountains are more of a dark-night green/blue. Anyways, don't work from the banner already up there, you can try recreating something like it, but something new would probably better. Do your best.

Also, if you could ($5 bonus), make a nice design for the little ad in the subscription box titled: Lucidly Magazine – Premium Subscription, the little pic in there, if you create something for that too and I pick it you get a $5 bonus

If you have any suggestions for color scheme, layout, design, or any suggestions for the site at all they are highly encouraged. If a logo you have in mind would work better with a different color scheme, layout, or something else let me know and I'll consider it. The site is in the making so things are open to change.

Here are a couple of ideas.

Here's the logos on their own

The borders on the banners are a last minute thing, I have only added onto the sample pictures. If you like them I will add them to the actual banners, if not they are easily removed.

Also, the 960x85 banner would that be the same as the 960x85 banner but longer, or is that the advertising banner?

Looks good, I am looking for more of a nighttime type thing. With more dreamscape type stuff, I don't know, just weird things that could only happen while dreaming. I want the font to be kind of ancient-like, but not egyptian, more of an Indian type font.

Make the font not techy, and not bubbly-cutsie, but kind of old, it would be cool if the banner had the old/new feel with the font older, but the rest of the banner newer. Maybe have the words sitting in clouds.

**woosh** · 11-10-2006, 02:37 AM

**HTMLDesigns** · 11-10-2006, 02:36 PM

Well it's just temporarily suspended until they figure out what's going on. Then again I wouldn't be surprised if the CH at SP is the same one here who decided a day later he/she didn't want to pay the $100 minimum for a logo. Never know.
