$500 - Sensual and Professional Graphic Design

We need to design a template for all our websites.
We have several websites related to sexual education. We sell sexual education books and courses.

However, we do not sell pornography. Just educational material.

So far we have different image and designs for each one of our websites.

However we want to UNIFY the corporate image and create a consistent “look and feel” for our websites.

For this reason we need a template so that we can use it in all our sites.

Important:

The name of the author is Gabrielle Moore
The title of the site is “The Female Orgasm Revealed”
The current design is at: www.femaleorgasmrevealed.com , www.femaleorgasmrevealed.com/femaleorgasm , www.femaleorgasmrevealed.com/female-orgasm-techniques
However we donīt like this design anymore because it doesnīt look like a professional website at all.

These are the specifications:

1. The template will be for a Direct Response site (as you can see at www.femaleorgasmrevealed.com ) so what we need is a professional design that surrounds the area where the Sales Letter is. There are no buttons, etc. Just a VERY professional design where we can either insert the sales letters or our forum, or our blog. (like it is currently in the URLs we are giving you – same image, different content).

2. The look and feel has to be extremely sensual but it must also be EVIDENT that it is no pornographic. So it has to look PROFESSIONAL as well. So it would be SENSUAL (sexy) and PROFESSIONAL at the same time. It has to transmit the idea that the sexual advice is of the highest quality.

3. The target audience are MEN, so the image or images of a woman would be good. But it is very important that if this image or images are used, then the face should not be visible. We do NOT want to get the audience identified with one particular face. Maybe just the body, silhouette, or something similar.

4. IMPORTANT: We really like the designs similar to windows VISTA where the frames are transparent. Some examples of these designs are: http://playground.alexbuga.com/ , and http://www.spoiltchild.com/ (see the transparent frame or header) So the concept would be the same as a component of the design.

5. The design has to be PROFESSIONAL but simple at the same time. This part is important, since the SALES LETTER is the most important part of the site, so the site should not grab the whole attention. It should just make it look professional and sensual.

6. We have a logo (http://www.femaleorgasmrevealed.com/female-orgasm-revealed.gif) however the logo should just be a small part of the design, not the MAIN concept. Maybe it would be good for the bottom part of the template or something.

7. The design has to be coded.

8 Ideally an image of a sensual woman (no face visible) could be used, giving the impression that the woman is the the author.

9. I have an idea that you can implement. Since I want to use a "transparent effect" on the frame similar to alexbuga.com, then it can be done with the impression that it is wet (with drops of water), and the image of a woman behind it. (maybe a part of the woman behind and the other part more visible)

Just an idea, but you may have more ideas (which are welcome!)

Thanks Zoe!

Iīll be honest. Itīs too dark (you were right).

Also, the background has to be white. (Behind all th design, instead of black).

Could you try using other colors?

Also, we wonīt use the woman talking anymore, so you can remove that so that you can center the test.

Finally, I really didnīt like the font. Please try using a different font.

Thanks!

Zoe
07-05-2007, 08:50 AM
thanks for the great feedback.

I have lightened the colours and tried a different font.

As for fonts - would you prefer a hand written font or something a little more bold and straight?

Copy wise - we are limited to just a few different fonts such as arial, verdana, georgia and times roman. The previous copy was Georgia, and this copy is now using Arial.

I look forward to your thoughts.

Thanks

Zoe

Thanks!

not convinced, to be honest.

What weīre looking for is something extremely SIMPLE (not too cluttered) so that the sales letter can stand out.

Also I donīt like the pink since itīs for men.

Is it possible to rethink the whole design? Try to think of something VERY simple but professional at the same time.

Zoe
07-05-2007, 09:04 AM
No problem. Will see if anything else comes to me over the next couple of days. :)

aberez
07-05-2007, 09:11 AM
Thanks Zoe, i think in general we need something that is very simple...

The design is too cluttered.

It has to be SIMPLE, ELEGANT and Sensual

But i think the design you submitted has too much images, and I really cant see so much of the effect at www.alexbuga.com

Check that website www.alexbuga.com

I like the idea that itīs simple and it has a few (just a few) related images in the back like in 3D.

If possible please redesign a SIMPLE and elegant one.

Looking forward to receiving your ideas.

Zoe

One quick one before I head to bed.

Same feel yet simplified.

Thanks Zoe, I liked the way you integrated the logo. It looks great.

however it really need more work to do somthing with the "transparency effect"...

Also I donīt like th eimage of the girl, because you are "cutting" hear head.

Maybe it would be better to use another image which doesnīt show the womanīs face.

Finally, maybe you can use more sensual colors like red.

Thanks!

To all designers who want to participate. I have an idea that you can implement. Since I want to use a "transparent effect" on the frame similar to alexbuga.com, then it can be done with the impression that it is wet (with drops of water), and the image of a woman behind it.

Just an idea, but you may have more ideas (which are welcome!)

Looking forward to working with all of you!

Thanks Anne!

I like your ideas.

I like what you did about the transparent frame with drops of water. Thatīs what Iīm looking for.

A few comments.

1. On the top part there must be a header, so the transparent are on top must be wider. And inside this area it will be like a template that weīll use every time (for different products). So we would just change the title. So this area would include the logo, (somehow integrated), and area for the title (The Female Orgasm Revealed), the text: by gabrielle moore, and finally: "Discover Gabrielle Mooreīs most intimate secrets..."

Important: remember that the area of the title (The Female Orgasm Revealed) will change every time. So it would be good to put it like in a stripe or something that stands out.

2. I donīt like the blue color. Is it possible to do something with red and white?

3. Iīm not convinced with the images. What Iīm trying to do is give the impression that there is a VERY sensual woman behind the transparent area (like in 3D) and because of the "foggy and wet" area you CANNOT see her body 100% just her face. Like when someone is taking a shower, that you cannot see anything clearly (just a little). And if possible she would be like "holding" or "lying" or "grabbing" the transparent platform. It has to give the impression that she is actually behind the transparent area and sheīs looking outside.

Let me know if you have any ideas, ok?

aberez
07-06-2007, 05:43 AM
Thanks Fabian!

I like your ideas. The problem is I think the image gives the impression that it is a pornographic site. Remember, it has to be very sensual, but not giving the impression that it is pornographic, because it is not.

Also, please remember about the "wet transparent" area.

IMPORTANT: Please read the comments I wrote to Ann.

Thanks Fabian!

Iīll be 100% honest. I think anne is on the right track in terms of the transparent frame with drops, and the distribution. Please take that design as a base and read what I told ann.

Important, the sales letter area has to be centered.

Looking forward to receiviing your ideas! :)

Fabian
07-06-2007, 07:16 AM
I'll be back if I have something more suited:)

Anne
07-07-2007, 01:00 AM
Thank you for the feedback.

Here is the revision. I didn't have time to find a better picture but I will try when I get back on sunday/monday.

Anne

aberez
07-07-2007, 08:43 AM
Thanks Anne!

Mmmm. not there yet.

Let me explain. I like the idea of the frame (tansparent with water) but:

1. the top part of the frame has to be wider so that it is the header (and inside the header you can add the title, etc.)

2. I know i said it shouldnīt look pornographic. But this one doesnīt look sensual. It has to look more SENSUAL. Maybe choose another image (for the woman)

3. The font you used is very simple, try to do something that looks more professional and somehow integrated in the header.

4. The logo, donīt just add it there. Try to integrate it creatively into the design (something like Zoe did).

In general, plese try to make it more sensual, ok?

Looking forward to receiving your ideas! :)

Zoe
07-07-2007, 05:56 PM
I am working on another idea. :)

aberez
07-07-2007, 06:07 PM
Sounds great Zoe!

By the way, try to integrate your idea (which was very sensual)- with what anne did in terms of the transparent and wet frame.

Cheers!

Zoe

Thanks for your designs Zoe!

I really like your ideas!

A few comments:

1. I like the way you integrate the logo, title, etc. But is it possible to use a frame similar to the one Anne used? i like that design: tansparent and with DROPS of water.

2. Iīm not convinced with the colors. Can you try using more sensual colors? like red?

3. Iīm not sure about the black sillouete of the girl. Can you send 2 designs? One with that girl and one with a picture of a very sensual girl? (but not the one you used before, another one).

4. I liked the way you integrated many sensual pictures before, can you try doing that with this new design?

Looking forward to see your new design Zoe!

aberez
07-08-2007, 06:26 AM
Brian your design is great! Thanks.

A few comments:

1. Iīm not convinced with the pink colors, since the target audience are men. Can you try using something more sensual with a similar effect? Maybe red? or more sensual colors.

2. Iīm not convinced with the way you integrated the logo and the title (itīs too simple). Can you try to do something more elaborated? Take a look at Zoeīs design, itīs great the way Zoe integrated that part.

3. Can you add drops of water to the transparent are like Anne did?

4. Finally I like the way you added the picture of the girl! However can you try using another woman? if you find a blonde sensual girl it would be great (very sensual)

Thanks Brian, great job!

Zoe
07-08-2007, 06:56 AM
Here is an idea. I know it isn't water drops, but all of a sudden I thought "Silk" - flowing red silk. :)

Hope you like it.

Zoe


*attachement revised*

aberez
07-08-2007, 07:01 AM
Great Zoe! i like it! I like the silk at the bottom, it looks great!

A few comments:

1. I donīt like the effect on the logo (red and purple), maybe just one color is better.

2. I really like the picture you used in the middle, but I can hardly see it. Can you get rid of the other one and somehow make the middle one much more visible?

3. I like the way Brian and Anne designed the transparent frame. Can you do something similar?

ALMOST THERE!

Zoe
07-08-2007, 07:15 AM
ok here is my last shot. Hopefully closer. :)

Thanks for your fast feedback. Has been great. :)

Zoe


*attachement revised*

aberez
07-08-2007, 07:27 AM
Thanks Zoe, looking better!

A few comments:

1. Can you change where the title and logo are, maybe do it inverted: the logo and title in white and background in red.

2. I want to give the impression that everything is like a piece of paper (where the design is). So is it possible to change the background to veery light gray and on the borders add like a shadow instead of the effect you have now? (look at the background at: http://www.femaleorgasmrevealed.com/femaleorgasm/a-wet-t-shirt-contest-with-your-lover/) And the shardow would be similar to the one that you can see now at: www.femaleorgasmrevealed.com

3. The font is very simple. Can you try something more sensual? See this one for example: http://www.superaffiliatetraining.com/ (donīt use the same font but look how itīs a little more elaborated)

Thanks!

Zoe
07-08-2007, 07:42 AM
Sorry my main fonts are on a different computer so don't have my normal range to choose from. Hope this is closer to what you are after.

Thanks

Zoe


*attachement revised*

aberez
07-08-2007, 08:54 AM
Thanks Zoe, looks great!

Comments:

1. Can you change the red (on the top part)? (Itīs a little dark) can you use one similar to the silk?

2. Can you somehow integrate the logo on the transparent bottom part of the frame too? Maybe in the middle?

3. Can you remove the girl from the bottom part?

4. I like the font you used for gabrielle moore, but not for the title. When will you have access to your other computer?

Please send me the changes asap, ok?

Zoe
07-08-2007, 04:35 PM
1. Can you change the red (on the top part)? (Itīs a little dark) can you use one similar to the silk?

What top part are you referring to? the area behind the logo or the background?


4. I like the font you used for gabrielle moore, but not for the title. When will you have access to your other computer?

Do you want something a little more fanicier, old fashioned, hand writing?

Please send me the changes asap, ok?

Sorry, our time difference meant I was asleep when you sent this. :)

aberez
07-08-2007, 04:43 PM
Thanks Zoe!

Let me explain:

1. In relation to the color (red), I mean the whole top part, including the frame and the background. Is it possible to match the color with the "silk" one?

2. The font is maybe ok, but can it be just a little (a little only) smaller? only "the female orgasm revealed" one?

3. Also, in the middle section (between the top and bottom parts of the header) you used an effect that goes from red to totally white. The problem is that in some sections of the long sales letter it will look all white. Can that be fixed so that there is always a red color or effect there? Maybe a little lighter than the top and bottom, but there must be a color.

(The area surrounding the sales letter has to be complete, the line shouldnīt disappear)

Please send me the changes asap, ok?

Thanks Zoe! :)

Zoe
07-08-2007, 04:54 PM
I have included a few fonts for youto choose from. :)

Thanks

Zoe

aberez
07-08-2007, 04:58 PM
Hi Zoe, thanks. I like font 11, but small, letīs see how it looks.

Also:

- can you use this red for the top part instead? the one that is on the background of: http://www.stepbystepimmigrationcanada.com/

- I realized that you included the logo, but itīs very small, can it be bigger, and maybe the bottom part of the frame can be thin on the right and left side, and just a little wider where the logo it?

Thanks!

Zoe
07-08-2007, 05:18 PM
How's this? :)

aberez
07-08-2007, 05:41 PM
Almost there Zoe! Thanks.

A few changes:

- the read (where the title is) is very light (like orange) - can you use red 155? no magenta no cyan?

- The title font is very small, can it be bigger and maybe bold or something so that The Female Orgasm Revealed is the MAIN title?

- The "in-between" frame is good now, but can you add an effect or something with a little red color behind the transparent area so that itīs not just gray?

- I didnīt like the big logo (my mistake) - can you change it for the small one with the "copyrights" underneath?

Thanks! :)

Zoe
07-08-2007, 05:50 PM
Hi Aberez,

Before going any further, I just wanted to check if you have selected a design within this thread?

It's OK if you are still deciding, however I just wanted to let you know that once you select a design, you can then work further with the designer in the revisions forum before finalising the design.

Thank you

Zoe

aberez
07-08-2007, 06:03 PM
thanks Zoe, almost decided. Please send the last changes so that I can decide. thanks! :)

Zoe
07-08-2007, 06:13 PM
I am not sure what to put in the background that will repeat well. Will need to thinka bout that one.

Here are the other changes.

aberez
07-08-2007, 06:24 PM
Thanks Zoe! Please let me know how to choose your design. I still have some minor changes (very small), but how do I select your design?

Zoe
07-08-2007, 06:56 PM
Thank you. You simply state that you have selected to work with a particular designer like you have and then a moderator will move this thread to the revisions forum.

I will move this thread to the revisions forum so we can continue modifications. Once you are happy with the design, I will then create the html and send you the files. Once you receive the files, please post back here to say you have received the files.

Thanks

Zoe

Zoe
07-08-2007, 07:30 PM
Here are a couple of ideas for the background.

Anne
07-09-2007, 02:40 AM
I was just working on a revision and saw that a design had been selected. Congrats Zoe.

Anne

aberez
07-09-2007, 05:23 AM
Thanks Zoe! and great work.

Zoe, I just need a few things more and weīre done:

1. The design is great for everything (sales letter, blog, forum, etc.), however in the case of the blog I need the file as a photo shop file and ALSO with a section for banners.

You can see what I have now at: http://www.femaleorgasmrevealed.com/femaleorgasm/ it is the same design as http://www.femaleorgasmrevealed.com but it has a section for banners.

So could you send me (BESIDES de html file for the other pages), a photo shop file with a banners section? It would be like a WORD PRESS theme (with your design).

This one doesnīt have to be coded, i can do that at: http://www.codeyourdesign.com/ but I still need the graphic design part of the word press theme..

2. Can you send me the name of the Font you used for the title so that I can always use the same one?

3. Also, you sent me 2 files which I couldnīt open. Do you have them in another format?

4. Please post the word press theme (with the banners section) design as soon as you have it, ok?

Important: I need both: the html design (without banners section) and the wordpress theme (with the banners section)

Thanks Zoe, great job! :)

aberez
07-09-2007, 05:26 AM
Zoe, I could open the background designs now. I didnīt like the backgrounds, so can we leave the design as it was previosly without the backgrounds?

thanks :)

Zoe
07-09-2007, 07:45 AM
Thank you Anne. Busy Day here. :)

Aberez, Yes I will provide you with a layered PSD file as well as the html files.

Which banner section are you referring to and also I assume you will need a section for the right hand side for the blog?

I prefer without backgrounds too. :) Not too busy.

It is 1am here for me now, so I will start working on this tomorrow.

Thanks

Zoe

aberez
07-09-2007, 08:40 AM
Hi Zoe, thank you! it would be similar to: www.femaleorgasmrevealed.com/femaleorgasm

As you can see, thereīs a section for the articles on the left side and one for the banners on the right. It sould be similar.

Thanks!

aberez
07-09-2007, 04:12 PM
Dear Zoe, can you please send me the html files while we finish the design for the blog?

Thanks! :)

Zoe
07-09-2007, 05:33 PM
Before I slice and code the design - I just want to make sure that this is the right one.

Thanks

Zoe

aberez
07-09-2007, 05:35 PM
That is the right one, thanks Zoe!

Zoe
07-09-2007, 05:37 PM
And could do something like this for the blog.

Zoe
07-09-2007, 05:39 PM
By only changing the centre area - it will allow you to use the same images for the header and footer throughout - and they should cache and load faster for each site.

aberez
07-09-2007, 06:44 PM
Looks great Zoe, thanks!

Three questions:

1. Is it possible to send me the html of the normal design today so that I can start uploading?

2. For the blog design (which is great by the way) are you able to code it as a wordpress theme? or is that too complicated (i have no idea how difficult is that).

3. I have many projects for you, do you have an email address or a way to contact you so that we can work together in other projects?

thanks!

Zoe
07-09-2007, 06:46 PM
Hello Aberez,

It would appear I was sending you the files as you were typing. :)
I have not coded the wordpress design. It is a little more involved, however we can discuss that further.

I will send you a private message with my email address.

Been a pleasure to work with you.

Thank you

Zoe

aberez
07-09-2007, 06:52 PM
Great Zoe, thanks :) but can you please send me the html designn while we discuss about the blog design?

Thanks again!

Zoe
07-09-2007, 10:11 PM
Did you receive my PM with the link to the down loadable files? That includes the HTML and Photoshop files requested.

Thanks

Zoe
