Hello Designers,

I've developed an ebook for my website malestandard.com. The eBook is titled MaleStandard.com's Ultimate Guide to Grooming. It's a book that teaches men how to look their best no matter who they are. It will cover shaving, hair, and skin care tips for men. We're looking for a cover that's sexy, masculine. NOTE: We're focusing on GROOMING not fashion.

Here's what we're looking for:
- ebook cover
- sidebar signup
- popover signup

eBook:
Title: MaleStandard.com's Ultimate Guide to Grooming
Author: MaleStandard.com

Book style examples:
http://www.amazon.com/A-Butlers-Guid...6011621&sr=1-4

http://www.askmen.com/products/books...ble/?nav_books
http://www.askmen.com/products/books...o_the_bedroom/

Sidebar signup:
The sidebar signup should contain the eBook cover, text (provided below), a form field (first name, email) and a sign up button.

Text: Download MaleStandard's Ultimate Guide to grooming, and find out how to look your absolute best. Simple step-by-step guides and checklists make it easy. Gain confidence and feel great. Enter your email and get the book now!

Popover signup:
Whenever a new person visits our site, a popover will appear asking them to download the ebook.

Width: approx. 600px (not sure what the standard size is)

Please advise..

Thanks!

bogglins · #7 05-06-2012, 12:41 AM

another...

vicmac12 · #9 05-06-2012, 08:31 AM

Thanks for the fast submission.

Our favorite so far are 2 and 3. We like the dark background and fonts used.

I'd like to see a black and red color scheme.

I'll look on istock to see if there are any other pics to use.

Thank you

bogglins · #10 05-06-2012, 09:34 AM

here is the red and black version..

vicmac12 · #11 05-06-2012, 09:06 PM

Great work! We'll go with submission #2 using the black and red color scheme.

Please change the text at the bottom from:
Find out how to gain confidence and feel great.

To:
Find out how to gain confidence and look great.

Let's get started with the sidebar opt in and popover.

Thanks

bogglins · #12 05-06-2012, 09:55 PM

Hello.. Thanks for the feedback.
Do you want to wait for other designers for their submissions?
Or want me to finish the project?

Btw, I'm not so sure with the middle photo.. Any comment?
Better we look again for other photo?

If not, I'll just purchase the photos then continue with the rest of the design requests...

Also, which 3D book style do you like?

Thanks

bogglins · #13 05-06-2012, 11:49 PM

Hi..
Here is in different photo..

vicmac12 · #14 05-07-2012, 06:40 AM

Hi Bloggins, we were actually referring to the book cover #2 with the large shaving picture.

I like the 3d version of the book you used in this last submission.

We'll wait a few more days to see if we receive any more submissions.

Thanks again

bogglins · #15 05-07-2012, 06:56 AM

Oh.. I that one..
So, the second submission, but in black and red.. using the last 3D version of the book.. OK.. I got it..

Ok, I'll just wait then...

Thanks!

Pieter

bogglins · #19 05-08-2012, 05:39 PM

Here are the Sidebar n PopOver forms.

Let me know if there's revision required.

Otherwise, I'll PM you the link to downloadable layered PSDs of the forms..

Thanks!

Pieter

bogglins · #20 05-09-2012, 10:21 PM

Hi..
Please don't forget to check this one..

Thanks!

vicmac12 · #21 05-10-2012, 06:59 PM

Thank you for the designs. They look great.

I have some feedback.

Sidebar form:
- I don't like how the "MaleStandard.com's" looks above the box area.
- Perhaps we could bring it in the box just like you did in the popover box.

Is it possible to see a different type/color of gradient for the box. Perhaps a darker color. Not sure how this will look.

Could we see the subscribe button in a different color.

bogglins · #22 05-10-2012, 07:22 PM

Hello...

Here is the revised coloring...

Let me know if there's anything else to be revised..

Once this one is OK, then I'll apply the same to the sidebar form..

Thanks!

Pieter

vicmac12 · #23 05-10-2012, 08:28 PM

Perfect. Great job! Please apply the changes to the sidebar

bogglins · #24 05-10-2012, 08:49 PM

OK.. will do..
I'll send you PM for the layered PSD file of the forms..

Thanks!

vicmac12 · #25 05-10-2012, 08:54 PM

Perfect. Also let me know how much you spent for the stock photo so I can pay you back.

Are you able to code the forms with HTML and CSS? If so, how much would you charge?

bogglins · #26 05-11-2012, 01:53 AM

Hi.. for the photo is only (i dunno that istockphotos has increased the price, or the photographer sets the price that much.. lucky that you didn't pick the 3 photos cover concept) .. you may paypal me for that.. ^^, bogglins @ yahoo.com

Yes, I can do html and css.. how will you implement that form?.. should that css be within the html file or linked?

ps: here is the link to the istockphoto that i purchased - > http://www.istockphoto.com/stock-pho...php?st=82bf272

vicmac12 · #27 05-11-2012, 05:37 AM

I use a separate css style sheet. I'll paste the css onto my style sheet.

bogglins · #28 05-11-2012, 06:05 AM

Please check your Private Message.. to get the link to the files..
