[Designer chosen] $200 custom graphic project

[jcambert]

(Admin code added by Palmer - DM572111P)

Hello, everyone, I'm looking for a custom graphic, with a Valentine's theme, to fit into the center section of my home page, at http://www.unlimitedperfumes.com

I'm open to suggestions and will be holding various contests, for various different themes, as the year goes on, including mother's day, father's day, and Christmas.

I'm pretty open to just about any suggestions, and, if at all possible (but not absolutely necessarry), I would like to incorporate my logo (the perfume bottle with the spray coming out), somehow in there somewhere. Again, it's not a requirement, just a thought.

One requirement that I do have is that the artwork should be NO WIDER than the center section, as I don't want the right side of my page pushed further right, so that the user has to scroll that way.

Feel free to also incorporate (again, just a thought, not a requirement at all) any perfume bottle pictures you see on my site, into the graphic, although you can feel free to draw your own perfume bottle if you prefer that as well, or not use ANY perfume bottle if you think that's even better.

Deadline for this project is going to be Sunday night, December 19, midnight eastern time.

I'll have one more shortly

[jcambert]

You guys and gals are absolutely the best, most talented people out there...I'm convinced. I welcome the rest of you to submit an idea or two.

I can't seem to find my template contest from a few months ago, but, someone in that thread posted a piece of original artwork (as opposed to stock art), and, I was wondering if any of you had any ideas similar to that one...namely original artwork. Just a thought.

JP

[Christian]

What type of artwork did you have in mind? :)

[Christian]

Here's the next version

[jcambert]

Christian, to answer your question, if anyone can find my Template contest thread, there is an example in there. I've looked but can't find it.
JP

[jcambert]

Ok, I found it. Not necesarily in love with THAT particular custom graphic, but, since you wanted an example of what I meant, here it is. Check out what Luc posted a bit below the middle of the page.

Hi! All the art elements I have used in my design are my original creations only. I'm verymuch opposed to using stock-art, and I always draw my own images from the scratch.

[jcambert]

I'm extending this deadline to Tuesday at Midnight eastern time, as I don't think enough of you had a chance to enter.

I will make my decision at that time and hope that a few more of you decide to enter the contest.

[nvoke]

this is how it would look on your home page...:)

[nvoke]

thanks, njoy,
amanda :)

Hi,
Here's one from me.
Thanks,Paula

[jcambert]

Despite the fact that I've been seeing your work for some time now, it never ceases to amaze me. All of you are talented and original beyond anything in my wildest dreams. Wow is all I can say.

Anyone else care to enter before I make my decision tonight?

JP

[jcambert]

After careful consideration, I think we are going to go with Nvoke's monkeys. Very cute, and very original. I wanted to thank all of you, though, as this was a tough decision made tougher even still, by all your talent and originality.

Nvoke, go ahead and email me when you get a chance:

help@unlimitedperfumes.com

so that we can figure out any modifications/tinkering.

JP

[nvoke]

color changes...:)

[nvoke]

and another..

[nvoke]

how about this?

[jcambert]

Let me see how each of the three options would look on the site, if you don't mind (like you had done earlier), except, on the third one, make the girl monkey's lips red like in the other two.

Thanks,
JP

[nvoke]

no problem... here's 1

[nvoke]

sorry that was way too huge...:)
here's they are.

[jcambert]

I think we are going to go with the third option. Thanks for all your hard work.

JP

[nvoke]

thanks again, it's been a pleasure!

[nvoke]

[jcambert]
