In order to win this you need to do the following


1. Design OcUK a landing page using Adobe/Macromedia software suites.
2. The Design will still need to have all layers easily accessible so minor edits can be easier made to the design afterwards.
3. The page needs to be no wider than 1000 pixels but can be as tall as one wishes.
4. The page will need to link to two of our best selling the systems, the Xenomorph and Predator.
5. The Theme needs to be Alien VS Predator (but anything similar nature will do) feature that clearly features the PCs.
6. For example ideally we would like to see the Xenomorph system on one side with an alien (xenomorph) crouched on top of the system looking to pounce onto the Predator System. The Predator system should ideal have a Predator next to it with it targeting the Xenomorph system with its laser gun pinpointed on the Xenomorph system, am sure you getting the idea here, but this is just an idea, feel free to come up with your own themes/ideas. :)
7. The systems must feature a lot of official Intel, NVIDIA and ATI Logos, this is important for us as a company, plus our own OcUK logo.
8. Remember the landing page needs to have the specification of the PC's and Sell price clearly visible with a BUY BUTTON, again layed so it can easily be altered at a later date.


The systems on this landing page are these two:-

Also to help you with doing the design, the case used is the Antec 300, so see this link below for high resolution images of that case:-

Do we just have to make the page graphics, or do we need to slice and code it too?

The graphics is priority!

But it needs some very basic HTML, basically two links, one to the predator system, one to the xenomorph system. That is it! :)

Other things are we should be able to ammend description and prices ourselves. :)

I can't do HTML at all :( If any needs to be included I can't enter.
Photoshop is my only forté

no excuses lol

besides, i'm lousy at graphics so i'll be having to try my very best cos my antec 900 is like longshanks at the end of braveheart... dying..
 
Good luck to whoever wins, thats quite a nice case :o

Also looking at those red fans makes me want to switch out my green ones :(

Edit: Shame the Xenomorph picture isnt more similar to the other one.

Gibbo, does OcUk have permission to use alien and predator images? As I guess they will be copyrighted by the brand and from whatever source the images are taken from.

Someone good at photoshop can create their own very similar looking xenomorph and predators. :)
 
I wonder how much a graphic designer would charge for a bespoke landing page...lolz

Not a lot to be honest, we are also looking to employ someone to do this role as a full time job. Pay depends on skill level basically and other marketing experience they have.

An expert in graphics design would knock such a page up in 3 hours top, I could outsource this and probably get it done for less than £100. :)

The pictures are just examples, ideally you should be taking images from the Antec site, then photoshopping the fans into the case etc. get my drift. ;)
