Greetings fellow pixel pushers!
I'm in need of a template for a site that will auction real estate (homes and properties) online. The site will be called HomeBidXpress, and will use the logo I've posted below.
Since its an auction site, there will need to be a good deal of whitespace for text and graphics. You do not necessarily have to use the colors on the logo -though it would be nice to incorporate the dark green somewhere.
All I would need at the contest's end would be the graphic file - no need for HTML or anything like that, since I'll be adding graphics and other stuff to the finished product.
You pretty much have free reign on the design. Here are some sites my client likes (and why he likes them):
Kinko's (http://kinkos.com) - nice blend of whitespace and easy to find everything. This is probably the favorite. If you can make something in a similar fashion - with the curves and such - that would be great!
Int'l Interior Design Assoc. (http://www.iida.org/i4a/pages/index.cfm?pageid=1) - Design & layout is unique, has an ongoing theme with lines, and adequate space for text and/or graphics/photos
Scholz Design (http://www.scholzdesign.com/) - I thought it was simple yet very professional looking, liked the moving text, white
background, and easy on the eyes.
e-Architect (http://www.e-architect.com) - Liked white background that was enhanced with color on the design
That should give you plenty to work with - and the $150 prize to boot! :D
Deadline we'll set for September 7th - Could close earlier if we really have a strikingly great entry (and I would expect nothing less from you all!)
Go to it! :)
