      <title>SafetyPAD Icons</title><link>http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/website_design/icons_and_buttons/safetypad_icons</link>
      <description>We looking for four sample buttons so we can decide on a style then we&apos;ll contract to have all the buttons done.

In order to update our interface, the easiest thing we can do is replace the icons.  You can see our product here:  http://safetypad.com.  The interface we want icons for is here:  http://safetypad.com/screenshots/screenshots.html

We are limited by the application, so the icons have to be the same size.  The background may end up being a different color so if the icons lend themselves to a different background color, go for it.

The attached sample two icons are too cartoony.  We like our site and would like the icons to be consistent with it.  We are collecting patient data and graphics should have a professional feel.

There&apos;s also a PowerPoint presentation with all the icons that will ultimately need redoing.  For now we want four samples.

Thanks for your help.</description>

      <title>Modern website for video discussion solution </title><link>http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/website_design/website_uncoded/modern_website_for_video_discussion_solution</link>
      <description>About us:

TimZon (timzon.com) is a startup providing private video discussion and collaboration solution for the Enterprise.
The name can be pronounced as Team Zone, Time Zone or anyway you want.
It is aimed at facilitating asynchronous communication between geographically dispersed teams or individuals.

Here is what we need:

We need an updated look for our website&apos;s main and about pages.
We have a site in production, but we are sure that you can do better than we have designed.
Most of the website content is dynamic and the layout is adjusted automatically based on the screen resolution.
We only need design for the front page and the about page, but a template for future pages would be useful too.

We will give you and your creative mind free space to innovative but here is some wishes:
 
This is primarily a business focused tool.
We usually write the site name as TimZon, but if you think that the case should be different, please feel free to change it.
Feel free to touch our logo (attached) color, size, orientation or shading etc. in order to tune it up or make it completely different if you feel like it.

 
Welcome page:
---------------------
We would like to maintain a clean and simple theme for the site, using white or light background.
The site should be gender neutral and aimed at businesses while not excluding consumer users.
The size and position of the top header (where sign in is, for example), video discussions/contact list (the vertical panel on the left) are not moveable, but are placed on the page dynamically depending of the user windows size.
The main page should include elements inviting the user to sign-in to the site (See our &quot;check it out&quot; on the current site) and explain simple steps and benefits in an exciting way: (eg.: The crowdspring main page explain clearly what the site does).
- Sign In: Use color and contrast to make the Sign In button stand out (people need to find it easily).
- Simple steps to get started (needs to be highly visible and contain something close to the following):
1. Create a discussion for your project.
2. Choose who gets invited.
3. Record videos instead of sending email.
4. Collaborate like never before.  ( Bold?)


Make the Simple steps snippet on the landing page as clear and concise as possible. (We don&apos;t want the user to have any confusion about what the website is doing.)
The current site has the logo bleeding down into the discussion area.  We&apos;re interested in keeping this element.
The privacy and terms of service links can move to where the copyright is on the current page.  They don&apos;t have to stay in the upper right.
 
About page:
---------------
This page is used by our users to :
+Learn more about us:
  - Address
  - Phone
  - EMail
  - Twitter
  - Blog
+ Submit request for support, enhancement or share ideas.
This page is completely customizable (we&apos;re open to your creativity) but the header section should be similar to the main page.
As with the welcome page, we like the overlap of the logo and the content.
 
Here is some more information:

Audience:
Gender neutral.
Ages: 18 and up (it&apos;s generally for businesses)
Entry level technical proficiency (casual web user).
 
Brand image:
Color: Clear/White/Light (something light) for the background.
Feel: Simple / Minimalist
Emotions: Professional / Fast

What we need:
For the final delivery we need Photoshop files with layers suitable for use in constructing a full working website.   We will also need JPG and PNG of the various elements.


We will give feedback immediately to every participant and feel free to ask if you have any questions!

      <title>Redesign of Grouptree.com	</title><link>http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/website_design/website_uncoded/redesign_of_grouptree_com</link>
      <description>We need www.grouptree.com to be redesigned to bring it up to date and reflect the growth we have experienced over the past few years. We would like to utilise a full 1024px width rather than the 800px it is currently designed to. The site will be managed in our own CMS system and will be translated into at least 2 different languages.
The site will be visited by design and implementation agencies as well as corporates and small companies.
We would like to convey a professional image with a bit of flair. The site will be information rich and the designs will need to be easily applied to forums, blogs, extranets and white paper type data.

      <title>Web and application design for a new startup company</title><link>http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/website_design/website_uncoded/web_and_application_design_for_a_new_startup_company</link>
      <description>We are building and launching a new software startup company that creates project management software for normal humans. We have much of the functionality in place, and have developed wireframes for each page, but need a great UI designer who can put a beautiful and easy to use face on our software. We want something that is clean and somewhat minimalist, but that is distinctive as well.</description>

      <title>ChillBaby: design of new site to help recent parents</title><link>http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/website_design/website_uncoded/chillbaby_design_of_new_site_to_help_recent_parents</link>
      <description>We are building a new web application to help new parents discover the patterns that work best for their baby.  We have done a lot of research into this problem, and have a complete set of (suggested) wireframes ready.

This project entails establishing a color scheme and creating a few key templates and pages for the site.  We don&apos;t have a logo or color scheme yet, so this is somewhat a blank slate.

We are looking for a creative that can balance both aesthetics as well as usability.  We need a design that is clean, fun, but above all easy to use.

We have a lot of experience building some high-profile web applications, so we&apos;ll be able to provide you with helpful (and timely) feedback.  We value your input, and look forward to seeing your ideas and hearing your thoughts on how we can tackle some of the design challenges.

We hope to establish an ongoing relationship, as there is an opportunity for additional work after this project is completed.</description>

      <title>Semantics and Text-mining company web-ste: feel free to take the risk and be creative</title><link>http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/website_design/website_uncoded/semantics_and_text_mining_company_web_ste_feel_free_to_take_the_risk_and_be_creative</link>
      <description>LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US:

Lynx Computers is a Text-Mining and Semantic Technology company. We have developed state of the art technology indented for integration into products. With our technology computers can &quot;understand&quot; free text information and contexts. 

HERE IS WHAT WE NEED:

We need a simple corporate web site with a clean and &quot;heavy&quot; look and feel. We aim to radiate a strong, founded company (similar to a bank) but with a  combination of the software hi-tech feeling and sense of innovation and state of the art technology. 

We need two pages: 
1. Homepage - with a large flash with changing pictures. 
2. Content page - with a menu on the left.

In the attached UI design instead of flash as listed we would like a couple of options for images later they will be replaced by flash:
1. big picture for the homepage (see UI) on the pictures the following slogan can be included.
     &quot;Knowledge Mining&quot;
Please include several picture options as this will have a major affect on our decision. 

2. Logo&apos;s of prominent clients (logos included in file below)

Attached is a simple UI design I created. The reason we posted this project here is for you to take risks so feel free to break the UI design and suggest your own design. Keep in find that we want a representative site, and we don&apos;t need to show too much content on the front page. We like the wire frame we present but are very open to suggestions.

The design should be for 1024 pixel size.

Please look carefully at the UI file and read the content in the boxes, it explains what we seek.


OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS:

Most of our business is B2B our target audiences are other business and potential employees.

WE LIKE THESE DESIGNS:

Some links to site we like.
http://www.hadas-arazim.co.il/e/
http://www.attivio.com/


we want a clean site with lot of white space (can be blue space from the logo or other color, but empty space). The site should be based on the logo&apos;s colors along with &quot;transparency&quot; element.

WE ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE (or we don&apos;t want to see) THIS IN OUR DESIGN:

Nothing is a must, be creative. The flash objects are supposed to be very simple, with clean pictures radiating a feeling of a innovative but solid hi tech company. It would be good if they are related to text mining and semantics and it is important for them not to be too crowded.

Of course the design must use the included logo and colors (forgot to say it before :)</description>

      <title>STINGR Website Template</title><link>http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/website_design/website_uncoded/stingr_website_template</link>
      <description>LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US:

STINGR Solutions LLC provides high-impact engineering and management consulting services to high-tech growth companies, and we also conceptualize and develop our own innovative products.  Our first product, a patent-pending golf umbrella, will be launched at the 2009 PGA Merchandise Show in Orlando, FL. 

HERE IS WHAT WE NEED:

We need a website template based on the draft design b eing provided.

OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS:

Based on the nature of the business, we have diverse audiences.  The consulting side of the business largely targets small to medium size high tech companies that need help with growth through technology and product innovation.  The target audience for the product side of the business includes distributors of golf-related merchandise and marketing managers of promotional products.  The website is also a means to educate consumers about the new golf umbrella.  As new products are introduced that cover other market areas, the target audience will expand. 

WE LIKE THESE DESIGNS:

I&apos;ve provided a draft website in the project material, and I&apos;ve also included two examples of website designs that have clean, professional looks (separate PPT file).  

WE ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE (or we don&apos;t want to see) THIS IN OUR DESIGN:

Design should generally follow the draft design provided.  The company logo must be used without change.  Other prescriptive guidelines are included on the first page of the draft website PowerPoint file.  </description>

      <title>Teddy Bear Holiday Drupal Site</title><link>http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/website_design/website_uncoded/teddy_bear_holiday_drupal_site</link>
      <description>LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US:

We&apos;re working on a website that offers teddy bear services - holidays, accessories and academic literature. 
The idea is that you buy your child a membership to the site, and then from there they can book holidays for their bear.
When the time comes for the teddy bear, the child receives an actual courier delivered box that they place their bear in and send back to us.
In a week or two the bear returns with a box full of goodies, and they can also see online their teddy bear having fun. 


HERE IS WHAT WE NEED:

I require a website prototype, with graphical design and ideally a wireframe model explaining what divs go where. 
There&apos;ll be a forum and shopping page so please &quot;bear&quot; (zing!) this in mind with the layout.

OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS:

Must make children go onto the site and think &quot;I want this&quot; and adults think &quot;this looks fun and reputable enough I trust them with my money&quot;

WE LIKE THESE DESIGNS:

any websites with bright funky colors and not trying to be serious.
We&apos;re looking for colors that go with our primary logo colour #FDC30A. 
We&apos;d also love a funky footer, we were thinking either grass with flowers in it or cartoon teeth (friendly teeth!)
An outdoor feel with grass, crystal blue skies and the logo instead of the sun would be cool.

WE ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE (or we don&apos;t want to see) THIS IN OUR DESIGN:

our logo, simple placeholders for text explaining what the site is. 
No comic sans.</description>

      <description>LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US:

We are family owned environmentally friendly company that is dedicated to providing the healthiest pest management solutions with the highest quantity standards.

HERE IS WHAT WE NEED:

We already have a web page set up but we want a better one that will convey our company message and model of being the safest and healthiest choice for your family and business for pest control.  We also offer 100% organic/green options to our customers.  

We need a main page design and a secondary page design

OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS:

Our target audience is health conscious consumers who are concern with their environment and who want to live bug free in their home or business. Consumers that are concerned about unnecessary exposure to chemicals, and are sensitive to what is being put in and around your environment.  Pest control that is safe for kids and pets.

      <title>Lexis Nexis Online Media Centre</title><link>http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/website_design/website_uncoded/lexis_nexis_online_media_centre</link>
      <description>Background
There are currently 7 media packs for the Lexis Nexis (LN) group, all of which will be available in print, in small numbers, but increasingly the market demands online accessibility. Currently this is provided only via PDFs sent via email, but a more professional approach is needed. We can get there with an Online Media Centre.
In order to maintain brand consistency, the Media Centre will be the same across all titles, but each title will be able to choose whether to promote the overall home as a starting point, or direct customers to specific title sections. This should be considered in the design.

Contents
The media centre will consist of a series of web pages, with navigation down the left hand side of the page.  The relevant pages of the traditional media packs will be attached for download from the appropriate pages. 
The pages will be designed in Joomla, so that they can be regularly updated, by the ad sales teams as required. We would need to have both the HTML and PDF pages updateable. 

General
The overall design should follow the designs of the existing packs, and at the same time be neutral enough that it can suit all individual brands. As the print media packs have all been designed with the same layout (just with different colours) I suggest that the design/images from this should be used, perhaps in a neutral colour (eg Grey/Beige) with the LN red through as an accent to brighten things up. It will act as a great canvas to showcase any particular highlights on the home page. 

Navigation
In addition to the LH navigation through the packs per title, we should have a top nav bar linking directly to the individual title pages.  There should also be a navigation pane somewhere on the page, linking to all editorial sites – so users can look at ‘real life’ examples.

      <description>LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US:

Hi! I&apos;m a Native American health, wellness, and fitness coach. I love working with other Native People, improving their health and life status. The Native American population has some very real and large challenges as it relates to diet and exercise, and I am trying to help by offering classes, coaching, and other services.

My current web site is at http://www.crlhealth.com

HERE IS WHAT WE NEED:

We need a very straightforward but engaging new web design that reflects what we offer (health &amp; wellness coaching, fitness classes, and program development services).

We are looking for a) a front page design, and b) a toolbar and/or design that can be used for all of the subpages.

A rough outline of the content for our new web site is at http://www.thehealthypantry.com/images/CRLwebsite.pdf (this is also uploaded as a project file).

OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS:

Native Americans and those supporting their health and wellness programs.

WE LIKE THESE DESIGNS:

Native American artwork and themes. A local artist whose artwork I love is http://www.kevinredstar.com

Kevin&apos;s colors are beautiful.




WE ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE (or we don&apos;t want to see) THIS IN OUR DESIGN:

Our existing logo which is at the top of http://www.crlhealth.com</description>

      <title>Website for Virtual Assistant company</title><link>http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/website_design/website_uncoded/website_for_virtual_assistant_company</link>
      <description>We are a virtual assistant company that specializes in providing extraordinary customer support for web based businesses.

All of our employees are US based and very tech savvy which makes us ideally suited for the type of businesses we support.

We provide immense value in that we charge lots less than the average VA company while providing higher quality service than the majority of virtual assistant services.

We need a site that identifies us as a tech forward, US based VA business.

the site will mainly be for informational/marketing purposes. we won&apos;t really sell anything thru the site as all sales are done after a phone consultation with the client.

we will be giving away a business model map to those who opt-in to our database, so we will need an optin box. This needs to be placed in the upper right of the design, above the fold.

i would like the navigation links to run just below the header graphic, or be integrated into the header graphic, just below the company logo. We will need nav links for home, what we do, who we are, blog, contact us

i would like a picture of an attractive female VA in the header ... maybe someone with a headset on who looks like they are supporting a customer on the phone or online.

you can see the existing template at www.easyvirtualassistant.com, though we want to move away from that template in a big way.

if you need direction on any part of this please contact me

Our ideal customers are information marketers - those who sell information (physical products, software, ebooks, access to membership sites, etc).

Our clients are typically small operations (1-5ppl) whose customers are buying business opportunity information. We deal with more of an entrepreneurial client as compared to a traditional &quot;corporate&quot; client.

      <title>Website for a mobile commerce company</title><link>http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/website_design/website_uncoded/website_for_a_mobile_commerce_company</link>
      <description>Our company, Unbound Commerce, provides software to retailers who want to extend their existing website so as to provide a great experience to mobile consumers who are using the browser on their mobile phones. Despite iPhones &amp; G1s, 99% of websites provide a lousy experience for mobile browsers because they are optimized for full-size screens and technologies like Flash. Our company was founded to let retailers serve this rapidly-growing market. We make it easy for companies to use their existing web assets to provide mobile-focused web presence. We are US-based, and will primarily serve US-based companies for the next year, broadening reach after that.


Design for our home page and template(s) for secondary pages.  A detailed requirements document has been uploaded.

Senior &amp; middle management at Retailers of all stripes -- large chain stores, pure-play internet retailers and those who are multi-channel.  The audience is tech-savvy, but not tech expert; not nerd-ish.  Need to convey new &amp; innovative without being too edgy.

      <title>Public Website for Insight Medical</title><link>http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/website_design/website_uncoded/public_website_for_insight_medical</link>
      <description>Hello there.

We need a complete public website for Insight Medical.  Insight Medical is a leading provider of Point of Care Testing (POCT) rapid drug screening products managed by an Internet based Web Application (SaaS) that allows hospitals, clinics, employers, and school systems to perform and manage patient testing.

This is a fairly straightforward design project composed of seven static pages: 1) Homepage, 2) Products, 3) Services, 4) About Us, 5) Contact Us, 6) Help /FAQ, 7) Resources

We have existing branding (logos, business cards, letterhead, envelopes) and a corporate identity package that must be used.  No exceptions.  Stock photography may be used by including a reference to the images you would be using that we would need to acquire -- we prefer iStockPhoto for any stock imagery.

The deliverable should be in PSD (Photoshop) format.  No HTML/CSS markup is required.

      <description>The author is a NYT reviewed and award winning author and psychologist who is looking for a new website to act as an umbrella for all his activities including promoting his new book out now on Bill Clinton.

We would like a site that is professional, clean, easy to add new material to (extra space for menus), and presents the author in a serious, but approachable manner.  

The author&apos;s name is John Gartner and the new book is called: In Search of Bill Clinton: A Psychological Biography.

http://www.amazon.com/Search-Bill-Clinton-Psychological-Biography/dp/031236976X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;s=books&amp;qid=1224438220&amp;sr=1-1


We would prefer for the site to showcase the new book especially and expect it to be front and center.  

The author has another book which you can find at:  http://hypomanicedge.com/  You can use images of his other book there if you wish.

We thought of this site with a dark grey or black background with clean lines and &quot;serious&quot; look to go with the new book.  White could also work well.  But you&apos;re the designers... surprise us.  

There is not a lot of current content, so designers can use filler text (Lorem Ipsum) or any content in the files or on his old site: http://hypomanicedge.com/  What matters to us is the design.  

For the final delivery we need Photoshop files with layers suitable for use in constructing a full working website.  

We hope that this is a fun and high-profile site for a new (or old) designer/bibliophile and we eagerly look forward to seeing your creativity. 

We were very impressed by the Crowdspring community and we had to try it out... Of course we will award the money as indicated, but there are other firms working on the project so even if we pay you for your design it may or may not be used on the  final site.

Best of luck to all of you and we appreciate your efforts on this project... Contact us for any other information you need.

      <title>Redesign of a single Flight Tracking web page/user interface</title><link>http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/website_design/website_uncoded/redesign_of_a_single_flight_tracking_web_page_user_interface</link>
      <description>fboweb.com is an innovative website that provides aircraft flight tracking and other aviation related information.  The site provides, among other services, the ability to track an aircraft by displaying the flight&apos;s position on a map, as well as other information, such as altitude, speed, origin and destination, and other flight information.  Perhaps most interesting is our ability to integrate our flight tracking data with Google Earth, which allows user to view the flight&apos;s progress in a 3D, pan-and-zoom environment.  This feature has been showcased on CNN, ABC, CBS, and NBC, as well as other media.

We have one web page in particular on our site that is most frequently visited.  Its current purpose is to provide a quick-and-dirty way to track individual flights;  and to showcase the 3D integration by providing a special feature which displays the inbound and outbound traffic for 7 major airports in the United States through Google Earth;  and to provide links to other products and services offered by the website.  It also has a feature that displays the flight track data for recent aircraft accidents and incidents, providing an excellent &quot;go-to&quot; source for seeing the raw flight path for aircraft involved in aviation accidents.

A bare-bones version of this page, with all position formatting removed, can be found at http://fboweb.com/flighttracking/default2.aspx 

What we need is a complete redesign of this page, FROM THE BANNER DOWN.  The main heading banner (from the very top on down to the bottom blue-line border) must remain in tact, but everything below that is completely up for redesign... colors, fonts, icons, placement - everything.

1) Note the Digg icon, it needs to be on the page somewhere prominently located.

2) Note the headlines underneath the first ad banner;  they should be somewhere &quot;headliney&quot;

3) Recognize that there is a feature, currently obscurely marked on the sample page, that displays an hourly snapshot of all active flights.  This should be on the page somewhere.

4) The main purpose of this page is to track a flight, so recognize the importance of the &quot;Track a specific flight&quot; section and design accordingly

5) The secondary purpose of this page is to showcase the features of the 3d Google Earth integration, so recognize that in your placement of the &quot;View inbound traffic&quot; section.

6) Another secondary purpose of this page is to provide an go-to place for &quot;recent incident activity&quot;.



Anyone from techie aviation geeks to the grandmother wanting to watch her son&apos;s flight from accross the country.

Feel free to take a look at the rest of the website at http://fboweb.com for some inspiration/understanding - however, we are not keen to any particular design, and we are also interested in improving the rest of the website at some point (so don&apos;t feel like you need to copy any existing design concepts on the site)... but for now, the scope of this project remains that single page as described above.

1) The page generates revenue through the sale of advertising, so ad space must be prominently featured on the page, without completely interfering with the functionality of the page (isn&apos;t that the magic formula for everything? :)  In the sample page currently provided, there are two sample ads - these formats must be featured on the site (size and dimensions) and positioned such that they will have maximum impact.  WE WOULD ALSO LIKE A THIRD BANNER added, and we&apos;ll leave that up to the designer to suggest where to best place this banner.

2) This page must have MINIMAL graphics in order to load quickly;  users want to be able to quickly head to this page and track a flight, and use this as a utility.  As such, long load times would be a detriment to this functionality.  The winning design will find the best balance between visual appearance and load times.

3) The page is also a leader into other products and services offered by the website, so bear that in mind in the design.

4) All functionality of the existing page must be kept - so note the various options, links, and features of the site.  Feel free to play around with and use this page (you can also try http://fboweb.com/flighttracking for the current live, production version of this page).

      <title>MMA school website</title><link>http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/website_design/website_uncoded/mma_school_website</link>
      <description>Our MMA school in San francisco needs a web design to go with our new logo.  We&apos;re an elite school with a tough reputation, and we need a site that is classy, yet bold.  Our teacher is from mainland China, so there&apos;s an obvious Asian connection.  We also started off as a kung fu school.  Now the school, more than 12 years later, is a large MMA school with state-of-the-art facilities and professional fighters teaching classes.    

We need a site design that is bold, clean, and classy.  We have a logo (attached.)  The letterforms are custom - we don&apos;t have a complete font.  We need a site built to match this logo, in the same red, black, and white (and maybe yellow, if needed.)  

The page should be red and black on a white bgrd.  There should be: 
1. a footer with copyright notice
2. a header with logo and menu
3. a sidebar with &quot;recent news&quot; and a calendar widget.

There need to be a few different pages:

SIFU LUO - NEWS - MEDIA - CLASSES - SCHOOL

breakdown by page : 

1. SIFU LUO - an about page about our teacher, with a large picture and some text.
2. NEWS - this will be driven by a blog, so each post should have a title, date, author, and a &quot;read more&quot; link when the text is too long for the news page.   
3. MEDIA - this section can have the same layout as the news section but the posts will be video and photos.
4. CLASSES - will be one large graphic of the weekly class schedule, and text beneath that describing the classes. 
5. SCHOOL - several pictures interlaced with text about the school.  

Don&apos;t be afraid to take some chances - be bold.

current and prospective kung fu / mma students and press.  

there are no good kung fu school websites, but i like these layouts
http://subtraction.com/
http://www.37signals.com/svn/
http://kottke.org/
http://daringfireball.net/

i&apos;m not sure those will help, but they all have clean layouts.  Our site can have a bit more, visually.

The design must fit with the logo - the section headers and menu SHOULD evoke the font in the logo, and not too many fonts should be used on the page.  use negative space well.  The page should also be balanced.  The content section should be fixed, centered in the middle of the page, but the background of the header and footer, if there is one, should stretch out to infinity. (like this site http://kottke.org/ )

      <title>Website Deisgn for UsedScubaDiving.com</title><link>http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/website_design/website_uncoded/website_deisgn_for_usedscubadiving_com</link>
      <description>We&apos;re a new startup and would like a very clean, easy to use design for our new website, www.usedscubadiving.com which will be a classifieds website for used scubadiving equipment. It will be a very innovative website, that will focus directly on used scuba diving equipment, and nothing else. We will be implementing a live search on the website, to make it a leading website in its class. 

We need a very clean, usable design for a homepage,classified ad details, as well as adding a classified ad. The homepage will show a company logo, a live search bar, a prominent button, or link to &quot;post an ad&quot; and a listing of the most recently posted used scuba diving equipment/gear ads. We will also require 3 filters under the live search bar. The filters are (For Sale, Want to Buy, Want to Trade)

At the time we do not have a logo, so please just write out the name UsedScubaDiving.com in arial, or helvetica, or a font of your choice.

Scuba Divers looking to buy or sell used scuba diving equipment/gear.

http://www.krop.com/ - for the live search, as well as the clean search results and clean easy to read details of each posting.

We will attach additional files showing the types of backgrounds we like as well as some further examples of search results. (only pay attention to the clean display of search results, NOT the design of the websites)

We really want a CLEAN and USABLE design. We would like the website to give off a scuba diving theme as well (we think this could be achieved through the use of colours and background)

      <title>Icons for financial software</title><link>http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/website_design/icons_and_buttons/icons_for_financial_software</link>
      <description>This is for a preliminary prototype that will likely launch into a desktop software product aimed at  investment professionals.  For now we are keeping the company name under wraps. 

We need 4 icons that are 50 x 50 pixels, that represent 4 different sections of the desktop tool.  These icons may eventually be used for navigation or as symbols for different cross-linked sections.  For now however, they will be used as signifiers for which section of the tool you are in.  The 4 icons should represent investment strategy, investors, relationships, and profile sections of the tool.  Ideas to get you started are: investment strategy could be represented by a Bull in combat with a Bear (either even or with the Bull winning), investors represented by a person in a referee outfit, profile could be a black and white profile of a face, and relationships by clasping hands in a handshake.  

However, designers should feel free to use their own ideas. 

Investment professionals.  Needless to say the icons should be cohesive, as well as professional.

While this is not an example of great icons, GoldmanSachs is the gold standard for &apos;professional&apos; in the space, their website gives you a feel for what goes in this space.  http://www2.goldmansachs.com/

We&apos;d prefer to not use a dollar sign in the icons, or cartoonish figures (say a monocled monopoly man)

      <title>Sweetcron Theme</title><link>http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/website_design/website_uncoded/sweetcron_theme</link>
      <description>This is a redesign for my personal Sweetcron blog site. Sweetcron is a self-hosted, free content management system. Sweetcron aggregates all your activity across the social web (twitter, facebook, rss feeds, yelp, pandora, last.fm, etc.) and puts it together in one place. Sweetcron is categorized as Lifestream software.

I would like a redesign of www.shimone.info. Please click on the various social networks to see the type of data provided. Click on a post title or graphic to see the full page result. Assume that additional social networks will be added in time so extra blank social network styles would be appreciated. I am looking for some out-of-the-box ideas. This is a personal website with no monetary value so feel free to go wild and get creative with layout, color and effects.

Creative thinkers

Your design must keep the semantic web and best practices in mind. I will build the site to valid and strict HTML/CSS standards.

      <title>Travelbugz.com Website Design</title><link>http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/website_design/website_uncoded/travelbugz_com_website_design</link>
      <description>My client is starting travelbugz.com from scratch.  A site exists at that domain now but nothing from that site should be carried over.  Travelbugz will be focused on providing information to parents who are traveling with their kids.  The idea is that Sharon will post information about recommended things to do with your kids when you travel to a specific destination.  The site will contain pages about each destination and the places in that destination where she discusses the specifics.  There will also be pages for recommended products, services and links to other website articles with good info on this topic.

We&apos;d like to get a fun, friendly design in Photoshop or Fireworks layered format that we can code up for the client.  Ideally, a homepage, a listing page of destinations, and a detail page for a destination.  But for $400 we know you may not go that far...

The attached logo was designed in a previous Crowdspring contest by 

Families, middle to upper middle income who travel with kids and travel regularly.  These families may have one or two parents, and typically travel to new destinations regularly.

http://www.cucuyodesigns.com/index.php
Client likes the HOMEPAGE ONLY - not anywhere else on the site.  She likes the nice large lifestyle image, the clean look.

See the attached wireframe for the basic layout.  Width of the content area should be 950px.  Background can of course expand beyond that.

Client would rather not have a white background on the content area, she&apos;d rather have a nice light color with dark text that is very readable and meshes well with the rest of the color and design of the site.  

Please use istockphoto.com to find any stock photos you may use, that is where we buy our imagery.

Main menu items across the top:  Home | Destinations | Things We Love | Photos | About Us | Contact Us

Feel free to detach the logo from the word Travelbugz to work with size and positioning.

      <description>Hi -  I am looking for an icon for the words &quot;Certified Raw&quot; 

My company is called RAW Essentials and we sell skincare/beauty items that are made with raw ingredients. 

I would like Certified Raw to signify even higher quality than certified organic. 

My RAW Essentials logo is black and green and i think that the Certified Raw logo should have the same colors ...but i am open to interpretations. 

Woman ages 30-50

      <description>This website is being built for Carol Alt and here is her story:

“You might know me as a supermodel and actress, but you probably don&apos;t know that over the last decade I dedicated myself to eating raw food and have educated hundreds of thousands of people worldwide about the benefits of a raw lifestyle through my two best-selling books on raw nutrition. 

My quest for raw ingredients turned me into a label sleuth and I discovered that beauty products identified as &quot;natural&quot; or &quot;organic&quot; didn&apos;t always live up to their names. I found out that there’s no government regulation in the beauty industry, so even products labeled as natural or organic can contain synthetic impurities such as petrochemicals, detergents, fragrances or preservatives. Yuck!

I decided to take action by creating my own skin care products out of the same raw ingredients I eat. I gave these products as gifts to friends who, like me, yearned for products that are free of nasty chemicals and ingredients, and to my delight, the products were well-received and well-loved. Thanks to this encouragement and a lot of scientific research, I&apos;m now able to offer you the only skincare line that is Certified Raw™.”  


I am looking for a website that can be incorporated with Magento.

- e-commerce
- blog
- use raw essentials logo 
- use Certified Raw logo
- use picture of Carol 


woman, 30-50, high income

/www.juicebeauty.com/
www.socksmith.com/
- use any pictures or content from www.carolalt.com

      <title>Website for Amsterdam3000 rally</title><link>http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/website_design/website_uncoded/website_for_amsterdam3000_rally</link>
      <description>Gimaft BV is a Dutch company of four people that recently started to organize adventure rallies for groups of 50-100 people, with a duration of 5-6 days, during summer, under the brand name Am*dam3000. (The * is a star, which is &apos;ster&apos; in Dutch and thus am-ster-dam ;-).  The star you could think of a Hollywood star for example, as our sub-theme is most like going to be movie related: Am*dam3000 - &apos;moviestars: beauties, bandits and borats&apos;.   The destinations during the rally are Netherlands, Germany, Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Austria, Czech Republic, Luxemburg and Belgium.

Whereas comparable rallies position themselves as being for the filthy rich that want to party (Gumball3000 or Quote Challenge) or for the sheer adventurist with a tiny budget (The Adventurists London to Mongol rallye), we have a different approach.


What we see as an end-product is a website design (both for homepage and a template for the 4 pages behind- N.B. these may be the same) of Am*dam3000.  As you will probably notice in the text below and from our logo, the website should radiate:
•	Fun in the good old student days
•	Adventure, yet also a bit relaxing
•	Affordability, yet well organized


o	Young professionals (i.e. 20-35 year olds), former students, who long to go &apos;back to the old days&apos; of uncomplicated fun, drinking etc.
o	Normal budget (Trip should cost less than 1200 euros, excluding fuel)
•	Credo:
o	If you think it is a stupid plan, you should probably execute it!
o	A good story is not necessarily true
o	A good joke can cost you friends


our logo and 
•	TheAdventurists.com 
http://www.icebreak.com.au
http://www.oakleydesignbrief.com/


Our website  should CERTAINLY contain:
•	Fun /humor 
•	Creativity
•	Our logo (see above and attached on site) -&gt; any variations with logo (e.g., in buttons) are very welcome
•	Large title ‘Amsterdam3000’ 
•	Subtitle ‘Beauties, bandits and Borats’
•	Reference to the countries were visiting (e.g., map with the countries highlighted) OR
•	Reference to the cities we’re visiting (e.g., map á la Indiana Jones with Amsterdam, Hannover, Berlin, Krakow, Budapest, Bratislava, Vienna, Prague, Munich, Nürburgring, Amsterdam) 
•	4 Buttons / links to the (only) 4 pages we have: 
o	The Trip
o	The Beauties
o	Sign up
o	Contact us
 
Our website should not contain
•	Dullness
•	Too much emphasis on speed / rally, as it is more about fun / friends / exciting experiences /

      <title>Internet TV channel guid UI for a new Internet TV service/player</title><link>http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/website_design/website_uncoded/internet_tv_channel_guid_ui_for_a_new_internet_tv_service_player</link>
      <description>Mediafly and CytecSys have partnered to create an innovative new Internet TV device. We are looking for an innovative Channel Guide design as the Home screen on the device.  

Restrictions (for Standard Definition minimum TV display):

•	It must look great at 640x480. I have included a 640x480 picture. Please use this as the background. 
•	Limited use of rounded corners
•	Limited use of complex images. The less images needed to load into memory the better. But, if you use the same image(s) repetitively, that is great. 
•	Make sure that font sizes are not too small. Remember it will be watched from a couch on a TV.
•	Sparing use of gradients (if any)
•	Sparing use of shadows (if any)

Attached is  a VERY ROUGH mock up of what the guide should include and roughly how it might flow. But if you can achieve the requirements below, feel free to be innovative and creative about the rest.  And don’t hesitate to email me with any thoughts or questions. 

Design requirements

•	The interface must be easy, intuitive, innovative, interesting, and discoverable (i.e. obvious how to use it). 

•	Organize the UI into a guide showing channels and the first couple episodes for each.  (see attached mock ups)

•	Show at least 3 channels and at least 2 episodes for each channel (if you are showing more than 3 channels and 3 episodes, make sure you are designing for 640x480. 

•	Indicate which Channel AND episode is currently playing 

•	Indicate which episode the user is currently selecting with the remote (note: this can be different than the one that is playing)

•	Ideally the guide should cover about  ½ screen so that video in the background is still partially visible while looking at the guide

•	Show an optional details/info window which would be displayed if the user presses “info”. This window should display all the details about an episode, including: episode title, show title, episode description, image, length, format (audio/video). (This should not cover up any of the guide) 

•	A method to access other types of media besides the channels, such as Movies and Photos. (This might be a good use of the colored variable buttons described in the “remote control” section below). 

•	Channel type breaks/groups, such as “my favorites” and “most popular channels” (one idea is in the mock up). 

•	Show the channel number for the channel of the highlighted/selected episode.   

•	Subtly indicate each episode status, which can include: not-downloaded, downloading, and downloaded. I have shown this with the little circle.  It is necessary, but secondary, information but not the most important so it has to be available and visible but not distracting.  

•	“Now playing”: Include a way to see what is currently playing including:

-	Episode title
-	Where in the episode the player is
-	The length (e.g. how much is left)

•	Look at the attached images. There are some additional details. 

•	Indicate which remote control buttons are usable and for what.  Also, there are four colored buttons which can be assigned to any function as described below. 

Remote Control: 

•	When you design this interface, remember that it will be navigated by a REMOTE CONTROL with limited buttons. In particular, there are some special buttons to keep in mind. I have attached an image called “guide remote” with some more information. 

•	There are buttons on the remote specifically “info”, “setup”, “del(ete)”, “sub(scribe”, “guide” as well as the ones you would expect (i.e. play, forward, back, record, numbers, etc.).

•	There are also four colored VARIABLE BUTTONS (red, green, yellow, and blue). These don’t have any specific function so they can be assigned to actions on a particular screen. As such, we need to include indications on the UI as to what those buttons do. 

Winning Selection:

We will be selecting a design which meets all of the requirements and adheres the most to the restrictions.  Think Apple design + Cable TV Guide and then be creative to do it within the restrictions. 

We look forward to your designs. Good Luck!</description>

Our core values: Freedom, Fun, Profit, and Growth … we have been successful business owners in the fitness industry for over 15 years. Our new project, Fit2Go Trainers is a concept that makes personal training more convenient to the public. We deliver fitness to workplaces, homes, recreation centers, the park, or where ever you like. And we do even more than that – we match the right personal trainer with each fitness client. When personal trainers join the Fit2Go Trainers Alliance they are harnessing the powerful economies of scale that we have created, so that they can effortlessly fill their schedules while they focus on what they love to do – train fitness clients.

About the Project
We have redesigned our logo (attached) … thank you to the crowdSpring community for this … and we want a redesigned website to transmit the same kind of “punch” and “energy” as this new logo.

We have refocused our content (attached) … to primarily target new fitness clients for Fit2Go Trainers.

Home Page
Purpose – it will be like a magazine cover, designed to attract new fitness clients with a simple, clear, compelling message.

We would like to create an emotional connection with the right graphics and stock photography.

Template for other pages on the website
We also want the other pages of the site to create energy and emotion that is compelling to both personal trainers and new fitness clients. The right graphics and stock photography will achieve this objective.

What we like:
1. We like our new logo.
2. We like the idea of larger print fonts (than what you will see on our current site), as many of our potential clients prefer a more legible and easier to read font.
3. We like graphics and stock images that appeal to middle and upper income people from 25 – 55 years of age, baby boomers with more financial means likely being a larger part of our target market.

What we don’t want:
1. Busyness and clutter.
2. Inappropriate sexual images.
3. Images of unhealthy people.
4. Images of people in a fitness club (remember that we deliver the fitness).
5. Images of people appearing to be “strained” while exercising … we want to create the feeling of “energy” and “freedom” – an intense image would detract from this.
6. Clipart.

We have attached the following:
1. Our logo.
2. A copy of the revised outline and content for our new site.

      <title>Corporate Website for Financial Services Company</title><link>http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/website_design/website_uncoded/corporate_website_for_financial_services_company</link>
      <description>HELP US!

We are a financial services company focusing on the needs of the retired. 

The site will provide clients with content information, financial tools, etc.

The design should be a template (homepage). We need a PROFESSIONAL corporate design that will compliment our logo. The site should be very user friendly since the age of our average client is 55-60. Site should also have a warm friendly feel. 

Would like to have 4 - 5 buttons for page navigation and a graphic at the top of the page (in case we would like to replace with a flash header later).

There should be a balance of images / graphics to text. 

Thank you in advance for your time and considering this project. I am always amazed when it is time to review the submissions here on crowdspring.

The current site (it is too hip and flashy for our market) is www.firstfidelityatl.com</description>

      <title>Estate Liquidation Site Update</title><link>http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/website_design/website_uncoded/estate_liquidation_site_update</link>
      <description>We are wanting to improve our current look and feel for http://www.EstateSales.net

Our site is where people come to view upcoming liquidation sales like estate sales, tag sales, or auctions (the original kind...not online).  We like the overall simplicity of our site and really want to keep the same centered style with the same width because we do have a lot of users with 800x600 resolutions.  BUT we think it could look a lot better than it does right now. 

We like clean and we like easy to understand.  You can use the home page of our site as a reference.  The logo design needs to stay the same, but the color can be changed if necessary.  I&apos;ll upload the original design for the logo.   The colors of the site can stay the same or change.   The content area does need to stay with a white or very light background as it will have a lot of user generated content.

If this is not enough info to get started, PLEASE let me know.  </description>

      <title>****Cool Social Network web 2.0 Design Needed*****</title><link>http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/website_design/website_uncoded/cool_social_network_web_2_0_design_needed</link>
      <description>Creative Brief


Here is what&apos;s cooking at Plugmyvideo.com.

Our new startup is a social network that provides a platform for self promoters of hobbyist, business owners, professionals, musicians and entreprenuers alike.

The site will focus on the exhibition of content delivered through video stream as well as blogging, pictures, reviews and rating, instant message, private messaging and so on.

We are looking for a design that is very user friendly, has loads of white space (clarity)
and delivers a balance of ultra simplicity and web 2.0 coolness.

Here are some sites we like;

http://www.thisnext.com/by/JMichelle/
http://www.crowdspring.com/portfolios/gurieli/arklife
http://www.artbreak.com/
http://www.threadless.com/catalog


About the site:


The homepage will be a basic template of the rest of the site with few variations.

We have supplied the logo. It is set against a black background. You may intergrate the top[ of the site as a black border or table to have the logo sit within that space on the left hand side. 

We wish to use very little black and keep the rest available for white space. Try a 80/20 approach.

There will be a homepage, a members page (Mary&apos;s page) a plugmybook page that has a different layout from the homepage.

We already have a splash page, but may ad a different one later.

Other:
we would like two design submissions from the creative. One is our own crudely hand drawn schematic of a basic representation
of the site as we see it. You may have some liberty here. The 2nd should be an original take on it from your own angle.

When you design the layout for the channels (video links) Pleasee keep in mind that the list of channels will grow overtime. With this in mind please come up with a way for the list to grow as channels are added.

Please keep in mind that some buttons may be added later or renamed at some other point. What we are looking for is a look and feel.

Color schemes: We like soft colors such as white space/light grey/light blue/faint greens

Remember, we want people to stick around at the site and need to keep it very usable as we anticipate high viewer ship.



The general functions are as follows:

Submit button
Search field
Blog
Member profile page
updates (news/contest)
most viewed
channels (sub links) i.e plugmybook, plugmystyle etc
Sign in/ Sign up
video upload
Scroll bar
Comment post
Drop down menu
about us
contact us
latest videos

We are excited to see what you can deliver and be sure to private message us for any direction you may require.

Cheers,

      <title>iphone icons and buttons for personal finance and expenses application</title><link>http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/website_design/icons_and_buttons/iphone_icons_and_buttons_for_personal_finance_and_expenses_application</link>
      <description>Hi all,
The project consists in creating the following set of icons for an application on iphone for personal finance and expenses management.
The application on the server side will &quot;smartly&quot; linkup data (so you may want to have links in the logo for example but we need
to see clearly this is finance/expense/cash application in it too)

Here is the list of required icons/buttons

1) Icon of the application for the springboard, I believe this is 57x57 but please provide in 114x114

2) Icon for menus at the bottom of the screen (there will be 3 icons to start with Dashboard (financial data), expenses, settings/preferences. Each button will have a size of roughly 70x43 but please provide in bigger size so we can test.
The idea is the screen will have space for 5 buttons of same width and max 43 height

3) Icon for refresh button 10x10

4) Icon for PIE chart, Histogram, Line items in 50x50 (dark)

4b) Icon for map and for PIN on a map

5) Large Icon/logo without name but that represent financial application and maybe links between bills, statements and the user, could be in central position or not present at all, be creative! 250x250

6)  Icon for Key/Lock open/close 50x50

7) Icon for Paper clip 70x70 can be 35x35

8) Icon for Receipt (of an expense typically) 70x70 can be 35x35

9)  Icon for Upload bills/statements 150x150
10)  Icon for Download bills/statement 150x150
11)  Icon for data processing (like gears for something that shows engine is working) 150x150
12)  Icon for savings 150x150

13)  Icon for Category series with:
* restaurant
* car
* bank
* Shopping
* etc.
the more the better in 50x50

Note 1: see example of ugly icons we use for test now but feel free to go away from that! We want it &quot;cute&quot;, web2.0/iphone style

Note: the application will be ported to other mobile platform later on so additional requirement for design will come.
If you are selected you are very likely to be personnaly invited to the next round for extensive set of icon and design for the 
full web site application.</description>

      <title>COPE Today Website</title><link>http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/website_design/website_uncoded/cope_today_website</link>
      <description>Client is launching a new website called &quot;COPE Today.&quot; COPE Today will provide treatment of mental health problems such as depression via the Internet and telephone. The goal of COPE Today is to provide psychotherapy that is confidential, convenient, and can be done from one’s home or office.  Customers may receive counseling via (a) secure email (b) video conference (c) telephone and (d) live chat.

Client is looking for a very professional, simple, clean homepage.  The website is aimed towards a North American general audience ages 21 and up.

Client has suggested stating in simple terms the process customers must undertake for online psychotherapy. This would be displayed on the homepage in some creative fashion.
1. Evaluate our counselors
2. Choose a counselor
3. Start a session
Client is also asking for an area for customers to login to their account, using their User ID and Password.

Some other info: 
(1) Client has existing COPE logo, please see attached.  However, this will be modified (color scheme will not) and be provided to finalist Creatives.
(2)  Client has an existing COPE website for soldiers and veterans and a healthcare website.  Creatives may view these to get a feel for client’s taste.  Please visit www.copenc.com and www.medicalweb.com.

      <title>Technology Migration Banner / Graphics</title><link>http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/website_design/ad_banner/technology_migration_banner_graphics</link>
      <description>I am looking for several different banner graphics that visually represent our migration services.

I am working with a technology company that specializes in IBM and Microsoft software.  I want to visually represent our migration services with graphics on our website showing IBM  Microsoft as well as OpenSource migrations to either plat form.  We migrate from any of the three above to any of the three.  We just need to be able to say that in a graphic and not words so when someone hits our site they instantly know what our migration services are.

I would like several different graphics banners of different sizes showing individually each of the migration options so 

IBM &gt; Microsoft, 
Microsoft &gt; IBM, 
IBM  Microsoft
Microsoft  IBM
Lotus Notes  Outlook
Domino  Exchange
QuickPlace &gt; SharePoint
Domino.doc &gt; SharePoint
Websphere  SharePoint
Lotus Notes Applications &gt; SharePoint
OpenSource  IBM or Microsoft

Our head banner size is 750X160  other sizes can be up to you.  I want to be able to use them around the site and on marketing materials.

Maybe there is a way to show all of them in a matrix graphic as well to show all the different paths to each other.  This could be a good homepage block of reality.

      <title>E-Commerce Website for Green Website</title><link>http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/website_design/website_uncoded/e_commerce_website_for_green_website</link>
      <description>Need a design for an e-commerce site, selling reusable bags.  Looking for template for home page w/navigation and a sample of how the color scheme would carry throughout product search and details pages.

We like the existing logo which has been included, however it can be modified and/or colors changed for the design.  Navigation elements will remain the same, with a category list on the left side and main navigation horizontally.

The site is selling a &quot;green&quot;, environmentally friendly product and we&apos;d like to carry the green theme throughout the site, using images of nature, recycling, or our bags.  

Current site is www.reusablerevolution.com</description>

      <title>Book Website Banner + Home Page Graphic</title><link>http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/website_design/ad_banner/book_website_banner_home_page_graphic</link>
      <description>I am creating a website to market my upcoming book, The Mobile Marketing Handbook. I will be using the same site theme as I am for my main site (www.mobilemarketingprofits.com) but will use a color scheme that matches my book cover (red, gold, blue and black).

I need a banner graphic (1000 px x 149 px) and a graphic to go on the home page (400 x 220). I would like to include the book cover in the banner graphic. In the home page graphic I am not sure exactly what I want. As you can see in my main site I used a stock photo. 

The book cover artwork that I have attached is 99% complete. My publisher may be changing out the testimonial quote and/or adding a name of the person doing the foreword. I may need to have you substitute in a new file for the book cover, but the overall concept will stay as is.

NOTE:
As I did with my logo design project, I will rate every submission that I receive and offer feedback on each one as well. I am an active buyer and very much appreciate your efforts.

I will put a link to your crowdSPRING profile in my website footer in addition to the $150 award.</description>

      <description>We need to have words appear over the header on our home page www.univfoam.com  We want different words to have different fonts; GEOFOAM to have big bulky letters and Carton Liners to have long thin letters.

Proto-Types
Insulation
Flotation
CNC Capabilities
Molded Packaging Endcaps

Must have:
- The terms should appear/fade at random intervals.
- 1-2 terms displayed at all times
- Can use the same or different fonts for each term, but each term should have the same font
- terms should use color: #900028

Nice to have:
- terms/URLs can be loaded w/ file external from flash
- terms are linked to URLs

There is a .PPS file that is &apos;rough&apos; mockup of the type of output desired. Looking to you to add some flair and a strong aesthetic.

      <title>Website design for me</title><link>http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/website_design/website_uncoded/website_design_for_me</link>
      <description>Hi Folks,

I need you to designing my personal weblog called &quot;audreyhipburn&quot;. I like to see this name for my logo on Myriad Pro font or something nice and cool font from dafont.com

I&apos;m a fanatic web standards based design, because I am CSS/XHTML and PHP coder for years- that&apos;s my main job for live and get the money.

This personal weblog will not only showing up my latest works but I will post anything about CSS/XHTML tutorial, tips &amp; tricks, PHP development, AJAX, about my personal life, design trends, and so on

All you need to do is designing the home page and a single posting with additional comment list ( 2 or 3 comments are okay, but make it different each lists) and comment&apos;s  form.

About the style, layout, typography, and colors. It seems I don&apos;t have any detail specific for that. That is why I posted the project in here, believe in your creative freedom and ideas.

The designs should have:
* not boring
* in fact I like magazine style in references you can see from http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2008/08/28/magazine-themes-usage-and-considerations/ but I like too the vintage &amp; retro style http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2008/10/07/retro-and-vintage-in-modern-web-design/ . Can you combine them as well?
* big typo for each title blog and have excerpts on home page which permalink into single post- hope you get my idea. Added some image/photo it&apos;s okay too for each blog, because definitely I&apos;ll post each blog with image/photo as well like the others blog :D
* there will be have this section panes &quot;archives&quot; with month &amp; year, &quot;category&quot; list, &quot;tags&quot;, my &quot;twitter&quot; update with 1 or 2 lists okay, my &quot;recommendation&quot;, and &quot;related articles&quot; on single post.
* nice pagination for &quot;older post&quot; in the bottom
* the main navigation will be Home - Archives - About  - Works - Contact

The creatives should not copy-cat from the others blog, templatemonster.com, any premium templates, or something like that. I&apos;m looking 110% the design concepts from your idea, creative mind.

that&apos;s it! if missed something, I&apos;ll update soon as possible. or you can send a message

Thanks!</description>

      <title>Search Redesign</title><link>http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/website_design/website_uncoded/search_redesign</link>
      <description>We need your help to skin our search interface.
We wrote the first version of this:   http://tinyurl.com/5txauw
and our new product behaves the same way.

So basically a site which has the same features as endless.com however with a new, fresh look. We have identified the key requirements below, and also with an attached PDF.

There are 4 pages (views):
1. search page
   1a. product quicklook popup
2. item page
3. shopping cart / checkout page
4. product compare page

Key components to be styled:

1. search box
2. price slider
3. category tree
4. refinements
  a. items like brands
  b. items like show sizes -- little boxes
5. &quot;clear all&quot; links / buttons
6. breadcrumb -- tracks the selections the user has made:  Example: search
&quot;nike&quot; , size &quot;9&quot;, color &quot;black&quot;
7. layout
  a. grid view -- at least 4 search results per row
  b. list view -- 1 result per row
8. each search result is composed of:
  a. image
  b. link to detailed view
  c. add to cart button / link
  d. Descriptions on each search result:
      d1. description1 -- name of product
      d2. description2 -- primary information for the product
      d3. description3 -- secondary information for the product
9. paging controls
10. sorting controls
   a. options are: name, relevance, price, newest, most popular
11. cart widget
    a. should show the total amount in the user&apos;s cart
    b. summary glance of all products therein
12. product image popup -- when the user mouses over a search result a small pane with more information  will appear
13. Site header - place holder in the design
14. Site Footer 

We need three different color palettes:

1. green and gold
2. blue and gold
3. red and white

The primary and secondary colors should easily be changed.  Use neutral colors for the widgets so they can be used regardless of the primary and secondary colors.  Pay attention to the rounded corners - imagine having to change the colors on the fly - We want to keep our colors out of images, and into a CSS file.

We&apos;re about to release our new Windows Server 2008 training and we&apos;d like crowdSpring designers to design our banner ads. 

Attached you&apos;ll find a screenshot of the new look of our upcoming website and more details on the Windows Server 2008 training. 

I&apos;ve also attached our logo in multiple formats. The ad can be static or animated... open to ideas. 

Requirements:

1) One banner in 728 x 90 and one 468 x 90

2) Maintain a look that is similar to our new websites look

Let me know if you have any other questions.

      <title>Eolien home page layout design</title><link>http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/website_design/icons_and_buttons/eolien_home_page_layout_design</link>
      <description>Hey there,
   I&apos;m the owner of Eolien t-shirt shop. I&apos;m looking for new layout design to my shop-home page www.eolien.net
The graphic style should be simple, dynamic and stylish. I&apos;m looking for intelligent design. The space to  design is top banner,
left side Menu(background for the menu bar), central panel background(that space is for flash animated images of the products which i have and it will be bigger than it is know), basket icon, bottom navigation bar background and background for the website. Eolien logo can change colour if necessary, you can choose your colour pallet and add font of your choice.
   Our customers are loving underground music such as techno, minimal, drum&apos;n&apos;bass, house, chillout etc. They are going a lot to the clubs, parties, music festivals. They like shopping for clothes, gadgets, dance, fashion, design and enjoying life. This website will be for them, so first impression is very important.

      <title>Template Design for KidsSantaLetters.com</title><link>http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/website_design/website_uncoded/template_design_for_kidssantaletters_com</link>
      <description>Every year the Santa Claus House ( http://www.santaclaushouse.com ) in North Pole, Alaska receives tens of thousands of Letters to Santa from children all over the world.

We have decided to post a few (hundred) of them online for the world to see. Everyone always wonders what happens to all those letters to Santa. Now you know.

The letters will be digitized (masking any personally identifying informatiion) on the website http://www.KidsSantaLetters.com.

This project is to create a template for the website. Again, the site is KidsSantaLetters.com. You can go there now to get a feel for just a few of the letters that we have put up so far. These can be used for mockup purposes.

The main feeling of the site will be along the lines of &quot;kids say the darnedest things&quot;, although there will also be &quot;tearjerker&quot; letters from children less fortunate than most of us.

What we’re looking for is this:

The site is built using ZenPhoto (http://www.zenphoto.org). This is open source photo gallery software. Since it’s gallery software, I basically only need a template, as the look will essentially be the same on all pages, with only the gallery body changing (thumbnails to single images.)

The primary elements are:

The Header, containing:
Logo (attached),
Breadcrumbs (where you are on the site i.e. Kids’ Letters&gt;Tearjerkiers&gt;Letter 56), 
Search Box

Left-hand Navigation, containing:
1. Category Links: Art, Humorous, Tearjerkers, Thanks, Wishlists
2. A 200x200px ad box

Footer, containing:
1. © 2008, Santa Claus House. All rights reserved.
2. About Us link
3. Contact Us link
4. “Powered by zenphoto” link
5. RSS feed link

I’m looking for something with a family-friendly look, though not too “kiddie,” as it won’t be kids surfing the site, it will primarily be adults.

The site should be optimized for browsers set to 1024x768 as 95% of our traffic has that setting or larger. The look must be able to expand vertically as far as needed and horizontally if necessary to fill 100% of the screen. The 200x200 ad box needs to be above the fold.

If you use art/clipart of any kind for the look, it must be your own original art or royalty-free, as I don’t want to have to purchase additional artwork, or use any citations.

Some text for the home page if you need it:
Kids’ Santa Letters – Letters to Santa from Children All Over the World
“Every year the Santa Claus House in North Pole, Alaska receives tens of thousands of Letters to Santa from children all over the world.

We have decided to post a few (hundred) of them online for you to see. You’ve always wondered what happens to all those letters to Santa. Now you know.”


An example of a zenphoto site I really like is http://www.wallpaperstock.sk

Important Note: I am willing to link to your site/portfolio on the about us page or in the footer (if I really like the work) as the Template Designer, so be willing to put your name on it before you upload it. Just FYI, our main site SantaClausHouse.com gets traffic in the millions of unique visitors in the fourth quarter. We will be cross promoting on our main site, so make it worth my while, and it could be good for you to.

If you have any questions, or need clarification on any thing at all, just ask. Also, I do give feedback on work submitted, so you’re not wasting your time ;-)
