Challenge Summary
This contest is to create a single storyboard landing page based on the requirements below.
Note: There is NO submission limit to this contest. The client is prepared to purchase a minimum of three (3) great designs and hopes to purchase several more. You will receive a $200 prize for each accepted submission.
You will be creating a landing page for client site DegreeTree.com There are Six (6) "zones" for the design and all zones must stand alone (ie not share design elements or content with other zones), as they will be interchangeable with other designs. The goal is to produce a design which has unique, well-designed individual elements, which can work together and/or stand alone. Style Guide Notes: You are NOT restricted to following the style guide. The guide is only provided as a color reference- while you may use other colors, your colors should work well with the color scheme presented in the guide. Submission Notes: You can upload any number of UNIQUE designs. If any two designs are so similar that we cannot easily see the difference between them, we will immediately remove one from consideration rather than struggle to find the difference. Stock Photography Watermarked comp photography from istockphoto.com is allowed in this contest. You must follow these instructions or your submission will fail screening: 1) You must include a completed Third Party Content worksheet. It belongs with your Submission folder/zip file -- NOT your Source folder/zip file. 2) Only use photos, and only use them from iStockPhoto. Other iStockPhoto artwork is not allowed. 3) Be sure to keep the watermark intact. If the image is cropped in such a way that the watermark is not visible, please be sure to include the entire image in your source files so we can see that it is a comp image from iStockphoto.com. GENERAL - As each zone must be able to be exchanged with a zone from another design, the zones must not share content or design elements. - Practical examples: You mayNOTplace a border around the entire design, as this would be one design element shared between all zones. You MAY round the corners of any /all zones, or just the top corners of zone 2 and bottom corners of zone 4. These design elements would still be contained within the individual zones. You must use the provided template and follow the provided style guide. Current Page Example: http://www.degreetree.com/school-finder/school-finder.aspx Do NOT copy the style of this page - the client wants the option of many different designs. ZONE 1 - Background Color: white - Note: solid color - do NOT use background effects such as gradients, glosses, etc - Required Content: DegreeTree Logo (left) & Progress Bar (right) ZONE 2 - Background Color: open - Note: you are free to use gradients, glosses and other background effects - Required Content: A) Choose one (1) of (3) possible headlines:
