Concept Design For Website Incl 4 Actual Web Page Designs

LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US:

We're a new travel entertainment social network and strategy game called tripflip. We are a new brand being run by the current tour operator Adventura.com. Although the brands are very different and will not be associated with each other

HERE IS WHAT WE NEED:

We would like visual design pages for 4 of the pages running through the website. Website is tripflip a strategy game running as an iframe in Facebook (a facebook app).

Teams of 2 will compete against others to win a holiday. Teams give gifts to teams they would like to go on holiday with. The winners will be the top 14 teams (top 7 male and top 7 female) those with the most gifts at the end of 2 weeks.

During the 2 week experience, teams will face daily challenges (just for fun). Teams will be able to search individuals and teams via various search types and choose which teams they can give gifts to. They can choose any gift from their inventory to give such as Bottle of champagne, box of chocolates, beach ball, flowers, rubber duck, glass of beer, smiley face, cuddly dog/cat/budgie, cup of coffee, ice cream, parrot, pirate hat, tickets, heart, lei (hawaiian garland).

Additional Requirement is the design of the gift icons mentioned above

Pages to design are:

Public Home page

Apply/Join Pages 1 and 2

Home page for those competing

Further details can be discussed privately.

A theme needs to be designed that runs in the background of every page in the site. The theme needs to be simple and uncomplicated yet exciting and fun. Theme needs to relate to a holiday so the following can be used within the theme (but not necessarily all): beach, island, boat, plane, sea, sky, sun, palm trees.

Then styles need to be created throughout the site for the various elements of the experience.

Lots of the site will be pulling thumbnails directly from facebook

OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS:

Average age 25. Heavy facebook user (uses on a daily basis for photo sharing, app laying and messaging).

Heavy internet user for leisure, particularly familiar with social networks.

Probably office based but in early mid-stages of career. Likes a bargain, tends to prefer cheaper or discounted things rather than expensive.

Probably travels with friends at lowest possible price.

Probably very active socially goes to bars after work on Friday and would find it weird to be home alone on a Saturday.

WE LIKE THESE DESIGNS:

We love www.moshimonsters.com however its aimed at children. We would like a similar style but at a mature audience.

We also love the Facebook applications designed by www.playfish.com particularly apps.facebook.com/geochallenge which uses a simple theme and great icons navigation and usage of facebook thumbnails for viral elements. Other good designs to look at are

http://stoodeo.com/

http://www.webdesignbeach.com/

http://www.divvoted.com/

For style and layout look at http://apps.facebook.com/zooskers this site follows the size and usability guidelines we like.

We are open to body and header fonts used. Although for smaller body text we prefer something similar to the Helvetica rounded or Helvetica Neue families.

We are also open to colours but the websites above all use colours we think will work.

The logo attached can also be modified/adapted for better use within a graphical site of this nature.

We will feedback frequently on how you are getting along.
