Thank you Severner, that's a possible idea. I await for more entries!

[Aliska]

Hello
First idea from me. It's for a spash page - entry page for the site. If you like it, let me know and I will proceed with content page.

[Aliska]

And second idea. Waiting for your comments :)

[clink]

I will submit a design in the next few days.

Hi
Here is my idea

[clink]

My Idea, the side areas would expand to fit the webpage:

Great designs everyone. The deadline is tomorrow, so I hope there can be more submissions before I start picking a winner. Thanks!

Hi Clink:
I like it. It looks a bit busy. Maybe make it take up more of the page, eliminate the green bottom part altogether and less variety of colors. I really like the watermark in the top part (the swirl) and really love what you did with the layer of the pictures. I really would like to see this one with mostly green as a background color and less lines dividing up the color blocks and with the main image taking up the whole page. I hope that made sense.

[skunkertx]

Aliska,
On your second concept, can you make the site more closely reflect the colors from the original website: http://www.ogmda.com/temp/colors.jpg ?

If so, that should do it. Thanks.

[clink]

Hi, thankyou for the kind/helpful feedback. :) Although I'm a little unsure about some of what you want. I can remove the green bottom no problem, but do you want green as the main background colour (i.e: Instead of where there is white right now)? Also when you say the image should take up the whole page do you mean it should be larger vertically or horizontally, or both? If I expand things any more horizontally then you will have problems catering for all screen resolutions. Finally when you say less lines dividing the sections of colour do you want fewer areas of colour in general? I could just keep the purple header background and perhaps scrap some of the other blocks of colour? Let me know what you think. I hope that this is clear enough. I look forward to hearing from you :) Regards.

Hi Clink,
I'm open to ideas for the green color. Perhaps a green gradient for the background? You are correct, don't expand it any larger otherwise we'll cause people to scroll if they have a lower desktop resolution. Yes, you are correct on the last one.

I'm open to your ideas based on what I just provided, lol. Hope that helps. Don't worry, just do what you think is right.

Ok I'll have something soon. It is your project though after all, so any ideas or thoughts you have I would be happy to try out :) Are you happy with the photo area and how the photos are divided? Again, if not I would be happy to try something new. Thanks.

Yea, just make sure they are layers cuz I am going to probably have to change them myself in the future.

[clink]

Yep absolutely, everything is saved in layers. :) Heres a few new ideas for the template, its a bit cleaner/simpler. Let me know what you think. Thanks.

[clink]

I tried using a green background but it really didn't seem to work :/

[Aliska]

Hello
Revisions.

[skunkertx]

Hey everyone, client has abandoned project and I am stuck with the bill. So, lesson learned. I'll select Aliska as the winner. Aliska, what is the next step? Thanks.

[Aliska]

Hello
I'm sorry about your client :(.
Do you need any kind of changes to the design? What about content page?

[skunkertx]

Hi Aliska,
Just make sure that the PSD is editable. Also, can you get rid of the green and go back to your original idea? Actually, just dress it up however you feel looks best since your are your own client now, lol. When ready, you can send it to me. Thanks so much and sorry for the mess. Lesson learned. Always have yoru client pay you first!
