I've added the system photos for you all to use in the graphics.

If you need anything else let me know, but that should be everything you all need now.

Surely

Quite a lot has changed since then, so let's see what designs you can come up with. To make sure you're reading this competition correctly, we've made a change, the Xenomorph is now in red, and the Predator is now in green!

Can I ask a question? Normally when you hire a graphic designer to do work like that how much dose it cost? Just curies nothing more.

A lot, hundreds at least.

I was thinking that as my mate is doing a bit of designing now nothing fancy and get just 50 to 100 for couple of days of work.

It depends but it can be as high as a few thousand.

Exactly, I used to be a designer and would vary my rate (was freelance), but I'd go for around £300 a day as a base (London prices mind you a few years ago), to do this properly could take at least that length of time, if not more if it goes back and forth a few times.

LOL, what?! If you go to Saatchi & Saatchi maybe! A single ad like this isn't going to cost anywhere near that, and if a company like OCUK were paying that much they wouldn't stay in business very long. Nor would any graphic designer trying to charge such a crazy amount. Sure, you could pay thousands for a series of high end designs from a top agency, but that's not what we're talking about here.

No, you can make that kind of money with some smaller companies for small work that might take 2 - 3 weeks. Give or take the feedback between companies. Its the chopping and changing and everyone putting their feedback in that is crappy. It ends up with they mostly not sure exactly what they want then feedback can totally change the next day. You can sometimes be starting over again.

Most companies are willing to pay.

Can 5UB clear a couple of things up please ?

The only case images i could use with any accuracy were the ones shown in my picture/effort

1 ) 'Mirroring' the case ( which makes the page more symmetrical ) puts the window,usb ports and internal layout on the wrong side - which could be misleading to anyone looking to buy

2 ) Using the non windowed picture shows an AMD cooler on the Intel speced pc

And i won't mention that the ASUS graphics card is the same as the Sapphire one with the logo removed

Basically, how accurate do the case pictures have to be on the landing page ?

Lastly, how much space do you want dedicated to Noble Chairs, as it is not included in the case/system purchase ?

A simple line and logo ? or images aswell ?

Might edit mine depending on your answer

1) You're right, it maybe best to try avoid flipping the system images because the layout would be different.

2) Please use the red and green system provided, we understand the configuration inside is not correct in the Predator but this is something that we can change later.

3) Please use the Asus logo for the Predator, and the Sapphire logo for the Xenomorph.

noblechairs needs to be mentioned at the bottom as little advert as such, just letting people know that they can improve their comfort with these awesome chairs!

Feel free to use the noblechairs logo and images.

St ill makes no sense, we are making an advert on the back of a franchise, by not using the colours your are confusing the link.
It just looks so very wrong to me The "Alien" but in red.

You could say same thing other way round as Predators are more associated with green, eg blood and colour of skin.
