Dynamix, if I might comment on your TGP factory for a few. (assuming it is yours)...
I'd do a lot more stuff that is "different" but still recognizable. Like the NATS thing you did. The TGP's in your portfolio are mostly to basic. The more dynamic ones are almost there, but would need a small amount of work to be perfect (for me). All in all, I think you got some skills and you are definately using them in the contest.
My point is that in any spare time you might have, you should remove the bland ones from the portfolio and improve on the ones that are there. I liked the two on top. Different, but good... especially since this industry is getting to bland as a whole.
TGPFactory is mine, and thanks for the opinion The only problem is the clients I have who like "different" are few and far between.. almost every order includes CoedCherries, BunnyTeens, MadThumbs, etc. as a point of reference.
Not sure if you saw my Jan/Feb 2005 portfolio [ http://clients.tgpfactory.com/Complete ] but it's, in my opinion, a lot better than the thumbs I have on www.tgpfactory.com/portfolio.php . There's a bit more variety, and I used sunsets/sunrises as header backgrounds in a few that had quite a pleasing effect.
Updating the TGPFactory.com page layout was long overdue and updating the portfolio is going to be one hell of a task for my spare time If I get a minute I'll be sure to though, lemme know which you feel are best to showcase if you get a spare minute.
Regards, Patrick

great first designs. There was a small confusion or so it seems about what we mean by signup page. We do not mean the login page, we need the reseller signup page...
So far the submitted designs are right in line with what we were trying to get.
adultnex's stuff is nice. The 2 other submits, make sure to make us a sample stats page also! And you do not have to keep as much of the design as tenderobjects kept.
SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.

Nathan, thanks for the clarification. I'll make the changes in the final HTML output, but if you want me to, I can add the form elements to the screenshot.
Additionally, the colors can be swapped out (meaning, the red scheme replaced with a blue scheme and so on). So the color scheme can be easily matched with the base color scheme of the affiliate program's main website.
The contest will go until the end of february, its not time to pick winners yet, we expected more entries by now to be honest, I guess none of the designers here want to win $1000 huh?

The green one looks nice but the stats table itself still looks exactly like our basic stats table. We want the whole page to look great, not just the frame
