Contest Details Hestia is always looking to give their customers a better user experience by providing new and up-to-date features in their B2B Web Application. Over the last few months the Studio Community has helped Hestia create a new user interface for the B2B Application. Hestia now needs a graphics "Toolbox" of icons, buttons and graphic bursts (flags, mini banners, other creative ideas are also acceptable) for quickly creating merchandising areas. This "Toolbox" of files will allow the Hestia Marketing department the ability to quickly produce merchandising graphics for the B2B Application. They will be able to pull from your source PSD files and create banners that look consistent with the B2B User Interface. We are looking for Fun and colorful graphics that work with the provided B2B User Interface design. You source files should be layered PSD files that someone could quickly open and drag a folder of an "icon" or "burst" into another PSD file to quickly create a banner graphic. All graphic filters should be contained within the folder of the requested Toolbox item. Colors for each Toolbox item should be easy to change within the layer file. Merchandising areas could consist of Ads or Banners with single or multiple products, Sale items, Specials, Event Alerts etc. Read the Contest Details carefully and let Hestia know if you have any questions. Resources & Requirements IMPORTANT - Group/package each icon/graphic in its own folder layer with appropriate names/titles - Keep things consistent. This means all graphics styles should work together. - All of the grahics should have a similar feel and general aesthetic appearance. - Please reference the provided GUI PSD Kit to help make your "Toolbox" items consistent across the application. Reference: Hestia-Prototype/residential_faucets.html - This page contains examples of Merchandising areas - Your icons, buttons, bursts would be in these types of merchandising areas. Sizes - At this time we don't know the different sizes we will need - so we would prefer a larger graphic over a smaller graphic (we can just take your large graphic and downsize it). The largest banner we have is 210x740px. - Graphics = 200px (Height) - width is whatever it needs to be (proportional to the height). - Buttons = 50px (Height) - width is whatever it needs to be (proportional to the height). - Anything else - a large enough size that is useful and can be downsized.
