I would like to announce a $500 prototype design contest. This is not for a full design cut up into HTML, or anything in depth like that. This is only for a straight JPG image, flash, or however else you would develop a prototype design for us to view. If you win this contest, you will get $500 via Epassporte or Paypal. If we like the design enough, we will then work with you to develop the design and put it live on Jokaroo.com, where you can make more money!
The design has some serious emphasis on specific aspects. Let me list them in order...
1. NAVIGATION
2. SIMPLICITY
3. FUN and INTEGRATED
Currently our template design has a left menu and a top header. First off, we want to get rid of the left menu and expand the content area in the middle of the page. We want keep the navigation focused on the header, maybe with drop down menus, or whatever works best. A leaderboard banner must be integrated somewhere around the header. We would also like to see spots for a Rectangle and Skyscraper banner somewhere on the page. Special buttons are also an integral part of the design. Please include these featured buttons somewhere around the featured content:
1. Send to a Friend (must have a yellow background)
2. Email to a Friend
3. Submit Content
4. Next and Previous
5. Comments
6. Add to MySpace
As you will see on the template page, we also need to keep the TAF form and the Myspace forms located at the bottom of the template page. We also want to keep the 'additional media' table under the content. The colors must be BLUE and ORANGE and maintain the same type of style as Jokaroo.com. We would like a fairly professional look, but also fun. Don't overdo the fun, keep it consistent with what you see on Jokaroo.
