Ventrino Forum for Walker Scripts _ Third Party Products & Services _ Designers, Interested In A Little Competition?

Posted by: Robin Bouwhuis Apr 25 2009, 03:05 AM

I know that I mentioned in the other thread that I am looking for some new splash pages and banners. I am having a hard time choosing which person / people to buy some work from.

I am calling on designers, I would love to see what YOU can come up with for some promotional tools. Here is what I am looking for:

a splash page
banner (preferrably animated)
Button banner 125X125

I am willing to pay for these items, or I can grant credits, or even a mailing about your design services. Up to you as to which you would prefer.

If you are interested, please respond to this thread, as I would love to be able to not only increase your portfolio, but showcase your work as well.

You don't need to do all, you can also do 1 of the three. I am giving you complete creative control, you show me what you think is the best you can do

Looking forward to seeing your designs!

Robin

Hi Robin,

You have pinned status! The third party products & services is monitored (to avoid the usual forum spam) and thus doesn't get posted until I get around to checking it out, so apologies for the wait. I'll leave it pinned for a while so it get's noticed smile.gif

Kind Regards,
Martyn

Hi Robin,

My No.1 recommendation is Scott ...drop him a msg and he will get back to you in no time tongue.gif

Or you can visit his designer website http://www.savvy-pc.com/designs/

Hi,

I take it the design is for your easysurfexchange ? I'll give a splash page a shot for you. If you like it , you can have it for free.

Im not in partnership with anyone, im a complete one man band and dont have connections on the forum to plug me on every post. So the exposure would be all the payment i need.

Pete

Martyn, Thank you! always nice to be pinned smile.gif Should I have posted this somewhere else? (just wondering)

Victor, Scott has already said that he was interested, so I assume that hes going to post shortly.

But I want to see what a group of people are able to come up with, I like variety, and I want people to be able to showcase their work here.

Its up to the Designers to choose to enter or pass.

Looking forward to some great designs!

Robin

Thanks Pete, feel free to PM me if you need any of my graphics.

As for "my style" you can always have a look at the 5 - 6 different splashes and banners at ESE. But this is about YOU, and your talents smile.gif

Thanks,

Robin

Well at first I thought not as it's intended for people to promote the skills they offer, but on the other hand you are giving them a great opportunity to demonstrate their abilities so I gues it is the right place smile.gif

I look forward to seeing the results!

Posted by: nujams Apr 25 2009, 03:24 PM

Maska is VERY good! He does pop in here every now and then.

Robin , this is a great idea, I would love to participate, just a matter of time.. customers come first smile.gif

For those interested, I work alone as well and don't ask for the all the kind recommendations, but I do appreciate them smile.gif They help out greatly!!

Posted by: Robin Bouwhuis Apr 25 2009, 07:41 PM

Yep Maska did my last banner for me, but I want to experience other peoples talents as well.

Why not have a place here to showcase that talent, and offer a little incentive as well smile.gif

Its all for the good of the forums!

Robin

That would be nice. I know we have a lot of talent to show here.

I made the one for tangisurf but the one for t-rex hits was done by
someone here...Stevestuff.

I think he's really good.

Thanks, my friend, Becky, and yup - I'm pretty good!


I've also done work for Aron (why did't you recommend me, dude?). Last job for him was a flash button

You can view some of my work here: http://cheapskatewebsites.com/
Here's a fairly different splash page made for same site: http://cheapskatewebsites.com/splash01.html. Notice how the page can accept most any monitor resolution size. It has my current 468x60 banner overlaying a large background image. with a clear GIF image overlayed to accept the hyperlink on the star.

I'll do all 3 for extra exposure at your surf site. I'm a member there (haven't surfed lately, though). It might take a while, as I have a 30 day job going right now - but can usually fit small stuff in while waiting for client info.

Best thing is to show me a design - URL you like & I'll come up with something similar. Or is this a "just do it & post here" type of request? Have any color preference?

Posted by: stevestuff Apr 27 2009, 10:49 AM

Damn - what happened to my sig - posting now just to check.

Does anybody see this banner in my sig?



OK - there now & I see it. This forum does weird stuff LOL!

Posted by: Robin Bouwhuis Apr 27 2009, 04:05 PM

If you want to see my style and preference, you can have a look at the promotional tools page on my site, and see what I have for members to use.

If you want to *surprise me* that's cool too. This is a showcase for your talents, so its all up to you to decide.

Just bumping this thread so designers comment on it. I have a few people that have mentioned they want to do work, no one has submitted anything yet smile.gif

Robin

Robin,

Just curious. Has anyone mentioned a waiting list? These skills are in high demand and command time and money, but I think the smart people know that it's well-worth it for the right artist.

Take care.

Graham

Posted by: Robin Bouwhuis May 7 2009, 03:57 PM

Hi Graham,

Yes some people have mentioned that they are working on it, I just wanted to give others that have not said anything or, pm'ed me a little kick in the pants! smile.gif

Robin

Posted by: Robin Bouwhuis May 27 2009, 05:24 PM

Ok I have received Scott's entry into the contest, if anyone else is still interested, I would suggest getting your entry in soon.

Robin

Posted by: Wizard May 27 2009, 09:47 PM

There are others also looking for site design. {Hint Hint}

Make yourself known by adding to this thread.

Graham

Posted by: LadyOfTheLake May 28 2009, 12:58 AM

you already know what I can do..lol
But honestly I do not think I am at the same level as someone like Scott or Maksa as they have more advanced programs then I do.

I still own your game though and that makes me smile each time I see it..if you change it I will kick you in the knee..LOL

Posted by: Robin Bouwhuis May 28 2009, 02:25 AM

/me buys shin guards...


Lol, I am still very happy with the game. Not going to change it anytime soon smile.gif

Haven't saw alot of outcome on this so thought I'd give it a shot.

I created both while I was bored for an hour or so.

I normally don't do freebies and this might be the only time you see me doing this.

I design for a living so that is my only income hence why I normally don't do freebies as I have to put food on the table.

Robin these are freebies for you, if you could push out a word of mouth somehow for ProDesigning Web Development (ProDesigning.com) it would be appreciated.

I will email them to you here in a minute but am leaving them up on my site so the forum can see for a bit. The previews are: (Click to View)

As Well going on right now I am offering 33% Off all graphics, banners and Mini Site Designs for Ventrino users see the bottom of this post: http://www.ventrino.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=9002

Hi Derl,

Wow! the splash page looks great! I am hoping that some more people will post their work to this thread so I can pick a winner soon, and please feel free to link your work like Derl did.

I like the little surfer dude in the mask. Way to take my site, and make this splash your own!

Top Notch work!

Robin

Posted by: Wizard Jun 4 2009, 05:39 AM

FYI - Derl was formerly NedoMedia Web Creations and the layout designer for Wizard Surf. I'm one of the first exchanges in his portfolio.

Purple Wizard Surf banner below is also his.

I thought for sure he would have been in here much earlier but great quality as usual.

Robin, it DOES look great!

Graham

Robin,

Just reading through posts and wondering if you have chosen a winner as of yet tongue.gif

This thread has been open 3 months and no-one has posted anything in the last month.

Just sheer curiosity.
