[Project Complete] Due TBD - SilverBasement.com $100 Quickie Project

[SilverBasement]

(Admin code added by Palmer - 8CF54199YX479773Y)

Hey folks, I'm back for another quickie little project. I would like a nice, clever, yet simple graphic that will have the text:

Free Shipping on orders of $49 or more

I would like two versions of this graphic. One for the left handed navigation, and one for the middle of the page (not yet decided where I"m going to put it).

While it is NOT neccessarry, I have left you the option of incorporating my logo (much like the free shipping graphic that is presently in my header). For whatever reason, it appears that graphic is being largely disregarded by people.

You can find my logo (in different variations), here:

Please let me know if there are any other questions.

Hi again SB,

What is the due date for the completion of your project?

Thanks!

Here's my effort.

Woops...Forgot the due date...There really isn't one, although I would say that I would like this done within one week, as it really is kindof a quickie simple one.

As for the entries thus far...EXCELLENT. Keep em coming everyone.

To answer your question as to size, I'm not really sure because I can't quite figure out (don't know much about html), how wide the left handed navigation is...Can anyone else answer this? Remember that I would like one for the left handed nav and one for the center, main portion of the page.

The 25% off girl is 120 px wide. :)

[SilverBasement]

Cool..That answers my curiosity and the question that someone else asked. What about the 25% off girl at the bottom of the home page, in the main, center section?

530x399

If you ever want to find out, just hover over the image, right click it and select "Properties". It will give you wxh in pixels.

:D
The small one is the same size as your current 25% offer ad.

[SilverBasement]

Anyone else care to give this a shot? Should be a simple enough project, no?

[djaka]

[SilverBasement]

I really like all the entries so far, but, I really thought with a project this simple really, I might get a few more entries.

Anyone else out there care to give this a shot prior to my making my decision?

SB

[cursal]

SB,

I would be happy to offer another entry or 2.

Detailed feedback and direction about what you like and do not like about current entries would help. Links to examples that grab your attention, etc.

More info/details like colors that are good, images to use if any, know what I mean?

:)

[SilverBasement]

I don't mind giving direction on logos, or templates, or something of that like but, what I'm looking for here is really more of a custom graphic, and, I have nothing in mind at all.

Your creative expression should be the only limitation. I would love to see another unique idea or two from you, Cursal.

SB

[cursal]

Understood :)

Here is my submission :)

[SilverBasement]

Ok, thanks to everyone who entered. The three finalists (and we hadn't intended to name finalists in such a simple project, but we really like these three designs alot), are:

CoffeeHouse, #4
Would like to see the "Free Shipping" in maybe a brighter, more attention grabbing color, and possibly a couple of different font variations. Also would like to see an alternative to the truck currently used.

GraphicsGuru, #5
Would like to see some part of that design be slightly more attention grabbing. As it is, I think it blends into the design of the site TOO WELL. Does that make any sense? The font is the same as with the logo, as well as the colors, and the bars. While I like this, I also think it might not call enough attention to the free shipping.

Dhaka, #14
Would also like to see a couple of background color variations and a couple of font and font color variations.

SB

[djaka]

some modifications :)
comments are welcomed

[SilverBasement]

Coffeehouse, Graphicsguru, I would really like to end this contest today.

Please?

[BlueCherryGraphics]

Here you go...

[SilverBasement]

Thank you to everyone for the help and the great submissions.

Coffeehouse, we've decided that your idea works best for what we want.

If you could somehow make the top one the same width as the left hand box, and, I think you might also need to remove the blue borders on the side, considering the box already has it's own borders.

And the one on the bottom should be about the width of the graphic of the girl that is presently on the bottom of the home page.

SB

[BlueCherryGraphics]

Thank you very much. Could you let me know which version to revise?

[SilverBasement]

I'm sorry about that...I actually like number 23 (font, truck graphic), with the font COLOR from number 24 (louder, more attention grabbing), in the "Free Shipping" part.

Hi SB,

Here are the gifs; let me know if they're OK. I can give you the AI files as well if you'd like those. We can also border either of these if you like.

The dimensions match the width of the current images, but not the height. If you need them to fill exactly the same space as the current ones, let me know and I'll re-arrange.

[SilverBasement]

The horizontal ones can keep the borders on the two sides, as I think it helps draw attention to it...it's only the vertical one (that will go in the left hand box) that should be without the borders.

Other than that, I think we are done.

SB

[SilverBasement]

Once we are done, if it's not TOO much trouble, I would like you to email me the graphics with FOUR different versions (one with $39, $49, $59 and $69). That way if I ever decide to change it, I don't have to bother you.

SB

[BlueCherryGraphics]

Look OK?

[SilverBasement]

Looks AWESOME. Please email me the files, when you get a minute, to:

info@silverbasement.com

Remember, if at all possible, to give me versions from $39, $49, $59 and $69 for both sizes.

Thanks again for the hard work.
