What can I say, been here done that.
Last time I resorted to a design contest, it was one wild ride, and so damn difficult as it was for us choosing the WebmasterRadio.FM Logo. Well, I'm at it again. I've always had a penchant for designers who could think out of the box.
So here's the score, I liked the idea of variety before, but times are tough...and this shop isn't paying for design at the rates it used to.
So here it is...the site has a generic theme, we're not stuck on it at all...however, there are some very specific things that will need to run in the header of whatever gets built as this site is a conference website. So the other conference ownder can give you the tags needed to ensure the site still runs with your new look and feel.
There's an obvious header and footer, and some dressing pages around the site to complete it, with some CSS to tie everything together.
This websites content is almost all online, with minor edits and additions to come yet as the conference fills out. However, the base site for reference is:
http://www.affiliateconvention.com .
This is for a brand new affiliate convention with 3 partners (1 may yet join so design flexibility with that in mind is advisiable). A Non-Dev guy threw up whats seen there, and I can say that as long as the PHP in the header that calls his scripts remains and he tells you where its at, you guys are free to be as creative as you can be and the site will run like a top.
Yes, its a conference website and not so exciting, however...wow us! We're paying for it!!!
I've seen some amazing talent from this board and I'm sure someone can use the Paypal...
So here's the terms, you have until 5 pm tomorrow to show us 1-3 mocks of what you whould do for
http://www.AffiliateConvention.com. Between 5pm and 6pm EST we will choose the winner at which time you will agree to slice/dice/integrate your new look into the domain, once agreed...you will receive a paypal for 75% and then 25% upon completion of integrating your new look.
Ohhhh, and be gentle...the whole idea (HINT HINT) is that this conference is 100% FREE for AFFILIATES to ATTEND. See if I made that point loud and clear. hehehe
Love the budget to be more and to have more time, but I don't and I know some of you crazy, amazingly awesome designers are looking for just this piece of work. So...for those of you who are above this...thank you for not snubbing...however...its an honest days labour my friend!
