AdvertisingReviews.com - $200

(Admin code added by Palmer - X010953R)

Back Again... heh..

AdvertisingReviews.com is going to be a site with reviews of advertising networks, affiliate programs, etc.. It will be similar to www.adcache.com but visitors will be able to write reviews, etc, and ill probably have a forum. I want it to be somewhat simple like AdCache.com but not that simple. I need space for a 120 x 600 skyscraper and a 468 x 60, or if you feel like it you can incorporate space for a 728 x 90 like adcache.com. I do want a logo aswell, not just text, personally I feel like when I pay for a template I should get a logo aswell..

Sites to look at for influence (but dont make almost the same designs please):
http://www.adcache.com (too simple)
http://www.wirelessphonereviews.com (looks jacked up in some browsers)

Colors:
Totally up to you, but no pink lol.

Requirements:
Hand coded template, and must look the same in all browsers, and OS's within reason. That includes macs!

Deadline: 10 Days!

Good Luck, and get postin! so I dont freak out when no one submits anything after a couple days like I normally do heh.

Hi Moxsum,
Could you let us know what menu items/links are required for the site's navigation?

Thanks :)

[moxsum]

Hmm.. I am thinking: Reviews, Advertising FAQ, Links, Forum, and Articles?? We can always change the text later :D

[moxsum]

Important note guys: I always like LESS images, and MORE text. I would suggest hand coding it from the beginning and using more text, and html rather then images. Thanks!

[elements]

"Fiya!!"
Here it is as promised. Less images, more text...so fresh, so clean.
Hope you like :)

Looks really good elements, ill post a more descriptive review in a little bit.

[moxsum]

Elements: Overall it looks really good. Here are some changes:

1) I like the red, because its different. However, I think its a little bit too much. Too bright.

2) The sponsors graphic is a little weird, try changing that up a bit...

3) On the "Choose a category below" section. For category 1, 2, and 3 you have one button graphic, but then for categories 4, 5, and 6 you have another. Could you make them both the graphic for categories 1, 2, and 3.

4) I like the white, but maybe you could have a bg color, or a bg graphic, behind the main table.

5) As for the logo, I like the paper idea, but I dont like that greenish/yellowish color for "reviews".

Looks really good elements! :D. I would want that design to be fixed width. How wide is it now? Can you put some space above the nav, like put a little bit of space above where it says home, but just a little bit. Then put one of the nav dividers above home. Can you show me a sub page? Thanks.


Anyone else gonna enter?

Hey Mr. Mox,
I'm happy that you're happy.

I've made the requested change, do you like? :blink:

<img src='http://www.dilicious.ca/outpost/ar_layout_v3.gif' border='0' alt='user posted image' />

I think a fixed width works best as well.
The table width is 754px.
The blue pattern would be the bg.

I'll work on a subpage later today. It's pretty easy to imagine, it'd basically be just more text in the middle area. I'll add a few more tasty elements though.

:tup:

[moxsum]

Looks sweeet :)

[Luc]

Let me give this a try. How do you like this one so far?

<img src='http://www.ei-corp.net/mockups/adreview.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' />
Links are html text based.
Also, does logo has to be vector? Are you gonna use it for print? Thanks!

[elements]

Hi Moxsum,
as promised, here's a version of the subpage.
let me know what you think :)

Thanks!

[moxsum]

Well elements I was thinking more of something like this http://www.adcache.com/reviews/fastclick but obviously you can change that. Ok im going to wait just a few more days incase anyone wants to enter, otherwise I will declare elements as the winner.

Luc: Looks good, however I dont like the colors your using.. like that orange, and its hard to grasp the whole design withought the logo.. I wont be using the logo for print.

[Luc]

So, do you still want me to post a revised design (colors and logo) or are you happy with elements design?

[tragu]

Hi! Moxsum,

Take a look at my entry below.

I haven't done a logo for your site yet. It's already 1:07 AM here, and I'm feeling sleepy :huh: I will do the logo as soon as possible. Please apologize for any inconvenience.

Thank you,

T Ragu

[moxsum]

Looks great Tragu. I still think I like elements the best though.. I will announce a winner either tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

[moxsum]

OK, ELEMENTS WINS! (again.. heh)

[elements]

:blush: :drink:

Thanks, Moxsum.
I'll get those files to you tomorrow :)
