Hi,
I have a nice fun little project which will allow you to possibly win £50 and build your portfolio. I have created most of the back end and will code everything, but the project currently needs someone to draw up a design.
I've seen a lot of creative flare on this forum so I'm going to open it up as a little competition. It will open for 1 week only (assuming there are a few submissions to choose from) and will end on Monday 14/01/2103.
The person who designs the best design gets the money and will see their design made into a fully functional website. I don't plan to make any money from this site, but the back end (PHP and database) I may use on my own portfolio.
The site spec:
Description: My partners family always write wish lists so that everyone gets a present which they would like to receive, for Christmas, Birthdays, Weddings etc, this is fairly normal. The problem comes when people are not all living in the same house and so you don't know who has bought what, even with a list. This site will allow users to sign up, create a list and share it with their friends for free. People will be able to view their friends wish list, and mark what has been purchased already. I will be making an Android and perhaps iOS app also to go with the website. There is a four step process, which would be nice to put somewhere on the home page although it is not essential, perhaps with some graphics:
1- Register using quick registration
2- Write a list
3- Share your list
4- Put your feet up and enjoy the party.
- There will be on the homepage a login box (Email + Password).
- There needs to be icons for Facebook, Twitter and G+.
- The site will be hosted at http://www.my-gift-list.co.uk
- It would be nice to have a list page also where users can view there list, but it is likely that the homepage design will be re-used with some slight modifications for the other pages. The other pages (which don't need designs necesserily but if you wish feel free), are:
- MyLists (Shows lists you own and lists you are viewing).
- Account Details (Just to allow users to unregister if they wish).
- Create a new list.
- Registration
- There needs to be space for one Google Ad box (Hopefully to pay for webhosting + server, but probably not).
The rules:
- Submissions need to be posted on the forum first, any winner must be able to email me a PSD file (via trust) after.
- Any images used from elsewhere need to be free for use and free of any copyright (Links to places where any stock images came from would be good).
- Unlimited submissions.
- The winner will be based on the homepage design, if there are two very close then it will be judged based on the layout for any other pages given.
- The winner has to be willing to allow me all rights to the design to use to build the website, if they wish they may have a backlink placed in the footer.
An idea I had
You can use this if you wish (or not, up to you):
- A wooden background (representing a table most likely), with a vertically placed roll of wrapping paper. The underside of the wrapping paper extended horizontally to create the white space for the content. Around the wrapping paper some (perhaps cartoony) objects like scissors, sellotape and maybe a gift tag. The top menu could be drawn on a gift ribbon. A notice perhaps somewhere to say the website is 100% free, probably on one of the gift tags.
Good luck!
