      <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>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>

      <title>Imperial Judiciary Banner Ad</title><link>http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/website_design/ad_banner/imperial_judiciary_banner_ad</link>
      <description>Founded in 1973, The Heritage Foundation is a research and educational institute - a think tank - whose mission is to formulate and promote conservative public policies based on the principles of free enterprise, limited government, individual freedom, traditional American values, and a strong national defense.
See the Web site for more details at:
http://www.heritage.org/ 

The banner will be used in conjunction with a Webcast to advertise a new Web site that will focus on the issue of the judiciary overstepping their authority and acting as legislators.  

It should be designed for a general, conservative audience.  

Visual identity can include elements such as classical judicial imagery; blind justice; scales of justice; judicial tyranny; robe &amp; scepter (instead of gavel).

Attached files include an imagery questionnaire filled out by one of the clients as well as an image showing where the banner ad will be displayed on one of our Web pages.

The size of the banner should be 980 px by 90 px.

      <title>HomeCineSolutions.fr needs ads for online advertising</title><link>http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/website_design/ad_banner/homecinesolutions_fr_needs_ads_for_online_advertising</link>
      <description>We&apos;re a growing french company selling quality consumer electronics to french markets. We&apos;re specialized in home-theater, high-fidelity, TVs, loudspeakers and videoprojectors. Visit www.homecinesolutions.fr to better focus on what we do.

Our direct competitors are www.hifissimo.com , www.magma.fr , www.cobrason.com and, the nicest, www.son-video.com

We address new customers, different than our usuals &quot;high-tech fans&quot;.
We want something classy, light and nice, preferably written in french.
We wanna emphasis how, and what we sell :
- We have some of the best prices in France
- We try to offer the best customer service possible, before, during and after the sale. 
- We sell a lot of different products, some rarely available on websites, some very high-end.
- We ban low quality, low price and focus on easy to use, sexy and long lasting products.
- We provide clean and explicit informations about these products : high definition photos, complete description, definitions of technical terms.

We need a few online ads in usual formats : 468 x 60, 728 x 90, 250 x 250, 336 x 280, 300 x 250, 120 x 600, 160 x 600. Static images are required, flash animations are a welcome addition.

Creating source files that can be easily edited to change the baseline, or attack line (excuse my english) would be nice too.

Your content has to match Google AdWords requirements :
http://adwords.google.com/support/bin/static.py?page=guidelines.cs&amp;topic=9274&amp;view=all

You can use our company logo (included) and the &quot;gold guy&quot; that can be seen everywhere on our site, or any other image. Gold Guy can be found on iStockPhoto.com

Good luck everyone, be creative !



For french speaking audience, here are some ideas for our advertising :

Avec des photos de produits pour illustrer, ou une ligne d&apos;accroche &quot;TV, Vidéo, Hi-Fi, Home-Cinéma&quot;

&quot;Trop de produits, trop de marques ? On a fait le tri pour vous. Il ne reste que le meilleur.&quot;
&quot;Vous pensez avoir trouvé le meilleur prix ? Regardez un peu pour voir ...&quot;
&quot;On aime les bons prix. On déteste les mauvais produits.&quot;

&quot;Plasma ? LCD ? WiFi ? MP3 ? USB ? Nous, on vous parlera français, pour une fois !&quot;
&quot;TV, Vidéo, Hi-Fi, Home-Cinéma : on ne vend que ça, mais on le fait bien.&quot;</description>

      <title>Media device element on Digital Media Lifestyle page - see attached mock up</title><link>http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/website_design/ad_banner/media_device_element_on_digital_media_lifestyle_page_see_attached_mock_up</link>
      <description>Hi, I have posted this in the ad banner page because I&apos;m only looking for a few design elements on our Digital Media Lifestyle page, specifically how to represent the different device/delivery options.

On this page, we are going to display the various methods and delivery options to access our channels.

We need a clean, effective, web 2.0 look that can be consistent across the various device options and is flexible enough to accommodate different types of devices with differing options.

I have included 3 types in the mock up for you to use as reference -- SyncClient application, Popcorn Hour device, and RSS

Please include the following in your submission:

1) An expanded view with more information about the product, options, etc.

2) and a corresponding collapsed view for each device &quot;block&quot; which only shows the necessary info.

A rough mock of both are in the attached files

3) Icons to symbolize the different delivery option capabilities and uses. I have mocked these with blue squares but the real ones should be more clever and discoverable:

h = home/office
m = mobile
a = audio
v = video
s = online streaming
d = downloads for offline use

4) Product images -- there may be 2 images as in the case of the SynClient which needs to convey the iPod family and all the other non-ipod usb players

5) Title of device type (e.g. SyncClient, Popcorn Hour, etc.)

6) Sub-title or high-level short descriptive phrase. In the mock up, this is the text directly to the right of the Title and appears in the collapsed view as well

7) A method to display &quot;linked devices&quot; (i.e. instances of that device type that are linked to the user&apos;s account).

- The linked instances should also display in the collapsed view.

- In the mock up, the linked instances are shown as the thin boxes below the larger device block in both the full and collapsed mock ups.

8) A title and subtitle for the page -- shown in the mock up at the top of the first page as &quot;My Media Lifestyle&quot; and &quot;Integrate your...&quot; respectively.

9) A method to view the device types by various options (e.g. my devices, all, etc.)

10) the ability to view devices by the capabilities (e.g. the icons)

11) An info bar for FAQ block such as shown on the right side of the Mock up

A design that is Clean, Clear, and easy to understand is THE MOST IMPORTANT thing.

Please message me with any questions. I look forward to seeing your designs. </description>

      <title>Adwords ad for Tactile CRM</title><link>http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/website_design/ad_banner/adwords_ad_for_tactile_crm</link>
      <description>Tactile CRM is an online contact and sales management system for small businesses. Similar products/competitors would be Basecamp, Highrise, PipelineDeals, Freshbooks etc.

The current website http://www.tactilecrm.com shows the logo and existing branding (Georgia font for titles). We are looking to evolve the site design and see trialling a new web ad as the first step to updating the website.

What we need is a new web ad to use online with Google Adwords.

http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/imgad?id=CNjv-eG-7arQ7QEQoAEYwgQyCBnxsy9ErAa6 would be a good example of one that we like.

Our target audience is smaller companies - 1-20 people that want an easy to use online package to help manage their day to day interactions with clients. Our main selling points are the email integration, listening to what people want and our opportunity/pipeline management.

Our design must have the Tactile CRM logo in it. It would be good to differentiate that we have a free forever plan and others from £6/m for up to 3 users. We&apos;re trying to bring our branding on to be a bit more friendly/web 2. Our blog at http://www.senokian.com/barking is an example of this, however we are still targeting business people and not consumers so want to keep a bit of the corporate/trust type feel to it. It should also be an animated gif and be in the following banner sizes:

728 x 90
120 x 578
160 x 578
250 x 239</description>

      <title>Legacy.com Tile Ad</title><link>http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/website_design/ad_banner/legacy_com_tile_ad</link>
      <description>Let me tell you about us.
Legacy.com (www.legacy.com) is an innovative online media company that collaborates with more than 650 newspapers in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom and Australia to provide ways for readers to express condolences and share remembrances of loved ones.  As the leader in the online obituary market, Legacy.com is visited by over 12 million people each month.  We post obituaries and Guest Books for over 2 of every 3 people that die in the United States each day.
One of our products is a subscription-based e-mail alert system called ObitMessenger (www.obitmessenger.com).  ObitMessenger is the most timely and comprehensive obituary     e-mail alert system available because the data is taken directly from newspapers (with the newspapers permission because we work with them) on the day the obituary appears in the newspaper.  No other obituary database/alert system in the world can make this claim.

Here is what we need:
To date, we have not aggressively advertised this product.  However, we’d like to change that by creating a 300x250 tile ad that will appear on all of the newspaper obituary sites we host.  To see the location of the ad spot, go to www.legacy.com/chicagotribune.  The ad will appear in the ad spot that appears next to the Memorial Website module.
The ad should be very simple in its content.  Key communication points can be pulled from the obitmessenger site (www.obitmessenger.com).  Essentially, we are trying to get people to sign up for alerts for obituaries they might be interested in, i.e. names, schools, workplaces, etc.  Timeliness might be a key message – receive an alert the same day the obituary appears in the paper.  Coverage might also be a key message – obituaries from over 650 newspapers.

Our target audience is:
Anyone interested in immediate notification of the death of a former classmate, co-worker, someone from their hometown, etc.  
Once again, this is the most timely and complete obituary e-mail alert system available.

We like these designs:
We are not married to the current ObitMessenger logo design.  However, any design must be appropriate, i.e. not deathly, not bright red, not humorous (believe me – we’ve heard every obituary/death joke in 10 years of doing business).

Our design absolutely must have: 
The ObitMessenger brand and “powered by Legacy.com”.  To see how we used “powered by Legacy.com” go to the bottom of the following page – www.legacy.com/chicagotribune

      <title>crowdSPRING Needs Ad Banners of Gloriously Catchy Proportions!</title><link>http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/website_design/ad_banner/crowdspring_needs_ad_banners_of_gloriously_catchy_proportions</link>
      <description>Let me tell you about us.
We are crowdSPRING - the creative marketplace. Since launching our site in May, we&apos;ve garnered over 5,000 registered users (and growing!) and have listed 500+ design projects ranging from logos and stationery to ads and web site design. Beverage can labels have been born on our site. Bands like Judas Priest and Phantom Planet have gotten merch and promotional tools from our creatives. Also, hundreds of small business have gotten their creative from us.  We believe in what we do and the power of our community-based creative model. In fact, we believe in it so much that our own web design and logo stemmed from our community!

Here is what we need:
So, here&apos;s the skinny. We want to bring more buyers to crowdSPRING so we have more projects posted, creatives awarded, and more of that warm and fuzzy feeling all around!

One of the ways we&apos;ll be attracting new buyers is through an internet ad campaign targeting small business owners, entrepreneurs, and basically anyone who already has a company or is thinking of starting a company. We&apos;re going to need banners that capture the essence of crowdSPRING and attract buyers to post a project on our site (so you can make more money!). Where else would we turn to except our community of awesome creatives to design our banners?? 

As far as copy goes, it&apos;s up to you! You&apos;re the creatives that use our site and we trust you. We know that our personality should reflect in our product. We&apos;re real people! The internet isn&apos;t this scary place, and the last thing we are is a big, bureaucratic corporation. It&apos;s important for our others to instantly grasp that the crowdSPRING brand is friendly and human. 

Please remember that we are looking to target buyers, so there is a different message versus targeting creatives. 
Several main selling points for buyers include:
- Access to many choices and the exposure to a pool of global creative talent
- A &apos;25 entries or you walk&apos; guarantee
- Naming your own price (versus receiving bids for projects) and seeing contributions
- Viewing actual design concepts 

There&apos;s probably no way to fit these messages all on one banner - so decide what you think is most important.

As a new company, it&apos;s also important for people to understand that our process is relatively simple. We&apos;ve dedicated most of our home page to explaining it: 1. Post a project. 2. Watch the world contribute ideas. 3. Choose the one you like.  And you can feel free to use that homepage graphic if you want (we kind of dig it).

We prefer the banners to be transitional. In your submissions, just make sure to storyboard out the layers in a panel instead of submitting multiple entries (we&apos;ll do the transitional animation ourselves).  And ultimately, we&apos;ll need the design to work in 2 different assets (same copy and design): a leaderboard (728x90) and a skyscraper (160x600).  Feel free to just submit one size as your example if you like - then we&apos;ll just make the other match at the end of the project.

Our target audience is:
For the purposes of this campaign, our target audience is mainly small businesses and entrepreneurs.  People starting businesses and blogs and websites - these are the kinds of folks who need logos and web pages and flyers.  So put yourself in their shoes and try to think of what kind of banner you&apos;d click on.  What&apos;s the one thing that would impress you enough to click?  Now make a banner around that...
  We like these designs:
As you can see by the site, we&apos;re big fans of simplicity - so keep it simple and clean.  Seriously - if there&apos;s one thing that we can tell you, it&apos;s that we like things simple and clean.  And we&apos;re also big fans of the blue on site (can you tell?!).  It&apos;s sort of our &apos;thing&apos; so try to incorporate that somehow.  It really stands out and it&apos;s a really vivid cue to people who click through that they&apos;re at the right place.  But other than that, let&apos;s see what you&apos;ve got!
  Our design absolutely must have: 
Our logo is attached for you to include. And again, as far as a color scheme goes, stay in the crowdSPRING family color palette of cyan, dark grey, white, black, and magenta. We like sans-serif type faces: the one in our logo + front page image is VAG Rounded from the Adobe font family.  

Keep it simple, clean, fun, and engaging! Have fun, and we&apos;re excited to see all of your ideas! </description>

      <title>top navigation re-design for Mediafly.com</title><link>http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/website_design/ad_banner/top_navigation_re_design_for_mediafly_com</link>
      <description>I posted this in ad banner because it is a smaller project than a page design. I just need a re-work of our top navigation. 

We are looking for a new top navigation bar for all pages on the www.mediafly.com site.  Here are the specific needs and some initial ideas.

This navigation will be present on all pages so it must be efficient, clean, easy to understand, low profile (i.e. not too big)... and at the same time innovative and creative. 

1) Primary items to include
Home
My Mediafly
My favorites

note: DO NOT include selection preferences,  recommendations, or Explore anywhere in the top navigation. 

2) Include Search and browse:
Include in a search box method and a method to start browsing through top categories.

3) user options: 
my account, my favorites, 
a) current user (e.g. Hi Carson), log out 
or b) sign up, log out (as appropriate)

4) We have 3 area of our site, the main user site, the publisher site and the advertiser site. So, we need a very subtle way to navigate between them and for the user to know which one they are on currently (but very subtle b/c 99% of uses won&apos;t ever have need for the publisher or advertiser areas). 

5) work in a space for a 728 x 90 OR 468 x 60 ad banner (not both... use whichever size works best with your design)

----------------
Some ideas (not required and may not even be good ideas): 

One idea that we have floated around is how to incorporate the little winged guys like are used on the home page (but much smaller obviously) so that the top nav can also convey the flow of how you interact with Mediafly, such as:

(to use broad concepts):
search or discover --&gt; manage or organize... download, sync, get it to go --&gt; share (--&gt; and then potentially publish and advertise)

-----

Please feel free to ask any questions. We look forward to fresh ideas and innovative approaches.

      <title>Make some ad banners for Dawdle.com - the gamer&apos;s online marketplace (and friends of crowdSPRING!)</title><link>http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/website_design/ad_banner/make_some_ad_banners_for_dawdle_com_the_gamer_s_online_marketplace_and_friends_of_crowdspring</link>
      <description>Let me tell you about us.

Dawdle is the largest online marketplace for video games, systems, and accessories.  Gamers can buy and sell with each other with no listing fees, no &quot;PayPal two step&quot; (we handle all payments), and a 100% money-back guarantee.  You can learn more about us at http://www.dawdle.com/about/

Here is what we need:

We need standard IAB format banner ads for our upcoming advertising campaign.  These ads will be used primarily by our affiliates.   We need ads in 468x60, 728x90, 300x250, 160x600, 120x600, and 125x125 sizes.

Our target audience is:

Our target audience is in the United States, and are gamers who know what they want.  We support games from Atari 2600 to the Xbox 360, but our sweet spot are games from the NES to the PS2 generation, including handheld games (Game Boy, DS, and PSP).

We like these designs:

We prefer to have a mix of animated images and static images - we want to provide a range of options for our affiliates.  

You don&apos;t have to use our fonts, but the Dawdle logo is done in Arial Rounded MT Bold and we use Arial across our site.  You don&apos;t have to use our colors, but the hex values are:
#F8CA13 is Dawdle yellow
#6192C4 is Dawdle blue

Our design absolutely must have:

You&apos;re free to do whatever you want, as long as it&apos;s consistent through the sizes.  We generally try to push a &quot;safe and easy&quot; message, but you&apos;re free to invent your own slogans.  

File sizes must be less than 50k so that they can fit into Google&apos;s (and others&apos;) display networks.

We have included our logo in .ai and .eps format for inclusion in the banners.  It should be visible in all static images and in the last frame(s) of animated images.  

Things we don&apos;t like or don&apos;t need for this project or other things to avoid using, doing, seeing, etc.

We&apos;ve previously used a &quot;please don&apos;t click&quot; line in our most recent ad campaign.  The ads were very Google-esque with liberal use of whitespace and the Arial font.  We would like to see something a bit more designed - we can do things this simple ourselves.

Try to come up with ads that communicate why someone should use Dawdle rather than eBay or going to their local GameStop - we support older platforms, we&apos;re easier to navigate, we provide a 100% money back guarantee, and other benefits.

      <title>Web video player for Mediafly.com</title><link>http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/website_design/ad_banner/web_video_player_for_mediafly_com</link>
      <description>note: I posted this in ad banner because it was the closest option in scope (i.e. I don&apos;t need a site but I need more than icons).

Looking for a new web player for the Mediafly.com pop up and embeddable player that is impressive in its look, style, function, and simplicity. 

Style preferences:

1) Player functions and text should be as low profile as possible so that most of the focus is on the player window.

2) Functions and icons and options should be obvious what they do. 

3) We have liked the glassy looking gray or black players. However, if you have other ideas go nuts (but stay classy).

5) You may want to use Mediafly orange and/or green for highlight colors (but not required).

Please include 3 different renderings for the following 3 sizes:

1) Small player window about 300 pix wide
2) Medium player window (about 640 pix wide)
3) Full screen mode
(note: I imagine these are each simple derivatives of the basic player concept)

The player must have the following features:

1) Show title (e.g. Wall Street Journal This Morning)
2) Episode title (e.g. Oil prices hit an all time high)
3) Current Channel (e.g. My Mediafly News)
4) Options to toggle small, large, and full screen modes
5) play duration status bar
6) volume
7) Play/Pause (can be same button)
8) Next Episode/track (e.g. &gt;| )
9) Previous Episode/track (e.g. |&lt; )
10) option to open more options
11) Ideally include mediafly dragonfly circle icon from the mediafly.com site someplace on the player.

note: The current mediafly.com player shows an episode list. the new player should NOT show this list

The bubble logo, (our brand), needs to be in all banners. Advertising gets placed in a broad spectrum of web sites, so they will get a lot of exposure. We place static and animated ads in almost every standard banner size.

      <title>Banner Ad for website</title><link>http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/website_design/ad_banner/banner_ad_for_website</link>
      <description>We need a new banner ad for our website (http://www.sixred.com) as the current one is outdated and is more of an annoucement (from two years ago).

I&apos;d like the ad to match the dimensions of the exisitng image.  We would also like the final product to be in .psd format.

As for messaging, I would like to convey that we sell and implement a web based solution that helps growing businesses manage their customers through the entire business process (Lead - Cash).  The system can handle most aspects of a business which results in a single view of the customer.  Because it is web based the system can be accessed from anywhere you have an internet connection.

Somehow I need to convey that or something close in a single banner image. </description>

      <title>Animated Ad Banner for Ammas Professional</title><link>http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/website_design/ad_banner/animated_ad_banner_for_ammas_professional</link>
      <description>Hello, we need an ANIMATED banner advertisement (468x60) for our www.IndianAstrologyAdvice.com site. 

The banner must be an .swf or animated .gif, and a maximum 50k file size. The key graphic idea is that a user of our Ammas Professional service receives a lot of assistance, from many people, all ready to help you, whatever your need.  (As if you are being pampered by them).  Not just one advisor/helper, but a whole group/crowd of them helping you.  

Maybe something like the way a celebrity sometimes has an entourage of people, tending their hair, taking their calls, pairing their toe-nails, tidying their dress, etc.  Ammas Professional is like that.  A lot of people working together just for you.   

The first banner will be for www.IndianAstrologyAdvice.com -- but we want to use the same graphic idea for many similar sites -- such as www.indianecareeradvice.com and www.indiantaxadvice.com.   Just changing the text slightly for each one. 

So for IndianAstrologyAdvice.om, the text is -- &quot;India&apos;s top astrologers... working together...just for you.  Ammas Professional.  Massively Intelligent.&quot;
 
For IndianTaxAdvice the text would be -- &quot;India&apos;s top tax advisors...working together...just for you.  Ammas Professional.  Massively Intelligent.&quot;

So first we want the original animated design -- a generic design which can be used across the different categories -- of a crowd/group of advisors/helpers ready to help you.  (Perhaps in simple silhouette, like ipod ads -- something like that?  Or you will have your own suggetions no doubt) 

General target market is Indian middle class professional, early 30s. </description>

      <title>homepage banner(s)</title><link>http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/website_design/ad_banner/homepage_banner_s</link>
      <description>We need to redesign our home page banner. 

See attached for the image dimensions. I&apos;d like this to be a drop-in replacement. You can view the entire site @ vr.org. No real guidelines and we&apos;re open to trying anything, as long as it fits within the overall design.

Couple of points for the new image, though.

1. We like the box-shot type screenshot of our web app. It needs to be updated, use:

http://img.skitch.com/20080601-mem29rhib3pf37q6miyp5g52rt.jpg
http://www.skitch.com/hostvirtual/cuig/re-console-web1.vr.org-vr-hosted

2. You can see the attached banner.jpg for dimensions, etc.

3. Once awarded, we would like .psd format for this. Text and other elements should be on separate layers.

4. We&apos;re interested in different variations (color scheme or layout) that can be applied to the promo.</description>
