Graphic Design Contests

Contest Closed

**Prize updated to $50 - possible $30 bonus**

i need a background for myspace worlds best producers... it has to fill the whole screen and needs to stand out, be unqiue and creative. I would like it to say ''world's best producers'' on the left side from bottom of screen to top, it must fill whole page from bottom to top, the rest of the layout can be up to you... the concept is exacly what the name says. Please only use custom graphics if you decide to decorate the background a bit, no royalty free images, must be your own work. I'm offering $30.00 to winner paid by paypal. bear in mind its just a background!!!! colour schemes: black, greens, some golds and oranges. please only professional designs!!!
contest runs for 24 hours but i reserve the right to end it early. thank you and good luck. look at www.myspace.com/timbaland (it fills whole page and stays static when you scroll down. the image of timbaland is where i'd like th writing bottom to top)

Thanks.

**ihaveaskateboar** · 02-12-2007, 01:54 AM

i have a sweet idea for it

**ihaveaskateboar** · 02-12-2007, 01:55 AM

and i dont really need the money..im from aus anyway so i dont know how it will get about to me

**bigzy** · 02-12-2007, 07:12 AM

gfry77 ---> thanks for entry, not bad for first try, the font could be slightly modified, background is not bad but could have some meaning to the title, also the border on the right does not really fit with everything else.

ihaveaskateboar ---> i i have mentioned the colours i would like, nice to know you have idea, look forward to it, ive run a contest before and always give the best feedback i can, also i will pay via paypal, its easy to open an account and is pretty safe to do transactions on there.

Im still waiting for more entries

**gfry77** · 02-12-2007, 08:04 AM

i added a globe...

**bigzy** · 02-12-2007, 08:11 AM

gfry77 ---> still don't like the font and now there is too much on there, it feels like one of the myspace layouts you get for free on those pimpmyspace layouts etc etc. i need something more unique and remember the colour scheme.

i would like to see some more entries as well

**bigzy** · 02-12-2007, 11:28 AM

i have read that there are lots of non-payers running contests making designers work for nothhg. Let me assure you that i am genuine and will pay winning designer the amount stated always, i have run successful contest before as you can see on itrader rating.
i need more entries so come on

**ghiavolu** · 02-12-2007, 11:32 AM

gfry77 Nice work! My advice: you could concentrate on edges, put a little contrast, as for myspace pages you can barely see the background but you can see the edges. Try making that text solid, maybe metal.
Cheers!

ok, i have decided to increase the amount to $50.00 for background and some sort of logo for world's best producers as well to put in picture box. this is a better offer, i need it urgent so please feel free to make an entry...

**njones860** · 02-12-2007, 04:25 PM

Here's my go at a background and logo:

**bigzy** · 02-12-2007, 04:39 PM

njones860 ---> very good entry, i like what you've done, of course the logo bit would be a seperate file to the background as it wouldnt be visible on myspace. However consider these improvements: Producing doesnt really relate to a microphone as thats more inclined to an artist (the logo bit) how about some sort of head phones above the B as well a crown or something to emphasize 'the best'.

wuld like to see more but very impressive NJONES860

like i said $50.00 is up for grabs for winner!!! if logo done really well and unique i will add an extra $30.00!!! come on

**njones860** · 02-12-2007, 05:16 PM

Made some changes, tell me how you like:

**bigzy** · 02-12-2007, 05:36 PM

njones860 ---> nice attempt. i like the idea however i feel it needs a few more modifications to take shape. The crown does not look comfortable on the W, it needs to fit well with the writing, the headphones appear out of no where, but so far your tries are much appreciated, keep at it! thx

**njones860** · 02-12-2007, 06:13 PM

Alright, made an update, scrapped the vectored headphones, made the crown have more gleam to it...

**bigzy** · 02-12-2007, 06:53 PM

njones860 ---> thx, still feel like it could be better, its still very similar, maybe try something different, let me show you some developments of our official logo

http://img7.imagevenue.com/view.php?..._122_168lo.jpg

im looking for something like that to put on myspace, i didnt want to show anyone as i wanted you to use your own imagination but take a look for inspiration. if good enough, maybe we will take it for our official logo too, good effort once again!

thx

**njones860** · 02-12-2007, 07:10 PM

For some reason I think you posted the wrong picture...

**woosh** · 08:37 PM

Hmm yep I think that may be the wrong picture lol ... I will probably try something else if you post the right one ... this is just a start on an idea if you like the colors etc I will work on it a little more

**bigzy** · 02-12-2007, 08:08 PM

i posted the logo still in works.. but i will offer $30.00 more if someone designs one i like more, so thats $80.00 dollars for background and logo.

woosh ---> i like your colours, however the equalizer could do with more work and the wording could incorporate something with i.e crown, headphone or something like the equalizer instead of just letters. if doing the logo as well, avoid using black for background, i want a blank backround like my example.

thx
