COMPETITION - Design a System Landing Page for the new Antec Custom Cases - WINNER ANNOUNCED!

Hey Guys,

Here is my submission v1.0.... Any feedback would be much appreciated.

Devec · 24 Oct 2011 at 18:45

Hello everyone, I finally registered here after a long time of lurking. However I was noted by a friend who reads this forum more often than me of this thread. I really liked the idea of this competition and decided I wanted to enter so hereby my first post and my design:

I decided against writing down specifications and just attach a small description of each case with it instead. For my design I decided to go with a frozen kind of look involving lots of ice. Also I thought it was a nice to display all four colours in a neat row.

Personally I'm quite satisfied with the result, but feedback is always appreciated. I'm not too sure about the text so I'd like to see if people find it readable or not.

I think I may play a bit and see how it looks in a browser on custom background, I'll let you guys see it if I think it looks any good.

That's it for my first post I hope you guys like it.

I like the cases side-by-side - but don't think you're selling the benefits of the cases or the fans.

I quite like that one @nikeair94, but the perspective looks a bit off against the grid... It may just be me

Is there somewhere we can download a vector copy of the overclockers logo?

Randomface74 · 25 Oct 2011 at 13:40

I based mine off this http://www.overclockers.co.uk/img/logo.gif

I thought i had a vector on my HDD from the wallpaper competition guess not, closest i have is this, should be big enough for what you need it for.

After reviewing the text I noticed that it does indeed sell little. So I updated it to show the key points of each case and did a little tinkering with some blending which I thought could do better.

The text I think may be a little bit compacted but I want to ensure that it still fits within a browser So I decided against making it longer. As well as keeping the text to a readable size.

I agree, I will fiddle about with it a little.

Cheers dude. Hopefully I'll get the chance to have a look at this tonight

Here is a bigger one if it helps anyone. Although it is probably not cut out as well.

Btw, I did notice immediately ByMRK1 that you used the core four colours that the cases are available in to texture the background, nice touch. But did you know that you have a few of areas in the background (around the top 2 cases) where the texture isn't uniform and suddenly cuts to lighter/darker shades. Please don't think I'm knocking it as I only want to help, here's those areas if you think they need correcting... 3MB PNG image for ByMRK1

Wow, thanks for showing me where the error was!

Thanks mate

I will do them Monday, to be honest Valkia made the Antec 300 images, I did the 902 and 1200 images.

Best without the ocuk logo

Hey guys any thoughts / suggestions for my design?

The bottom half is fine, but the top half looks way over the top. Try not to use so much colour and turn the contrast and sharpness down on the cases.

Other than that it looks great.

PhilipPalmer85 · 27 Oct 2011 at 18:27

Here is v2....
Less colourful and over the top at the top, and the cases are more defined!

Thoughts and further suggestions??

Hey man, you don't know until you try. I am sure overclockers is trying to help the community out more than anything so why don't you enter and hope for the best?
