This contest is off the hook. Krl, how the hell are you going to pick just one out of all the designs? I feel for ya man, I couldn't do it.
I wish my flash knowlege was up to par, but I'm just learning it.
Great work by everyone that entered

Mind, your style rocks man, you would get my vote. The natural color one you did is outstanding.

And as what everybody is saying, everything can be altered as easy as 1 2 3. Btw, KRL remember i asked you if "Can it be on *mouseclick* ? " Because as you can see, the subcats are loaded on one certain location, and there's a "Little" percentage, that surfer might accedentally hover on another button while moving the cursor to the subcats. ex: hover on category 5, then they might accedentally hover on category 4 and the "subcats" will change to category 4. But the menus have enough spaces from each other, so VERY LITTLE CHANCE that they might accendentally hover on another one.

If this won't work, i can change the loaded actionscript to "On MouseClick" instead of "On MouseOver" event. OR Change the whole Subcats IDEA to somethin like "DROPDOWN" menus... or drop up? hheheh, pops up rather. menu 1-5 drops down, and menu 6-10 pops up like a scrolling menu if you really prefer "ONMOUSEOVER" event.

AND OH! ALMOST FORGOT... THE WORKING FLASH VERSION

Nice work, but it reminds me too much of the older www.2advanced.com sites

Hello all

Here is my entry

And here also is my entry with flash animated buttons
http://www.visualecstasy.com/clients/men/main.html

*Please Note
- Whole page is in flash for showcase purposes only - should this design be chosen the flash element would be limited to the buttons - the rest being in html
-File size for preview is much larger than the finished product would be due to no actual slice work has been done.

Thanks and goodluck to everyone - many very good designs here.

Flash is the way to go though

galleryseek · 06-29-2004, 10:09 AM

Well I figured since everyone else put it in flash I thought I'd give it a try too ;)

My FLASH VERSION (29 KB)

(The first 3 links at the top are buttons, didn't have enough time to finish the rest. Other looping transitional effects such as the guy being replaced by other suitable content would go well. oh ya, and design could stretch with some work.)

Looks very nice galleryseek, but about the 3 buttons: when I rollover it disappears instead of highlighting a sub menu item..or do you know about this and is this part of your time issue?

Very nice work, but the dude's head is cut off on the top, you should (in my opinion though) show at least the eyes...or maybe make the pic smaller and try to display the whole face?

Just some input from a fellow designer

Good point. I chose that as the main photo because i wanted something very close up and detailed (the photo itself was also cut off there).

Here is another example with an eye contact shot

Had i more time i would perhaps flash animate a few different images thru.

great contest...

I think this'll be a learning experience for a lot of designers here. most designers who entered the contest do all primarily adult designs... fortunately i have a stronger mainstream background than my adult background.

but one thing I learned when i started out, was when it comes to good mainstream design technique, it's best to stay away from the use of a lot of gradients, a lot of curves, shadows, etc etc... all of that stuff is great with adult design because the intent is to be glamourish, but mainstream design is more about textual content, therefore a design that isn't cluttered with a lot of 3d, bevels, shadows n' such everywhere, makes it easier for the visitor to visually access that content - and also makes the page load quicker.

so the difference between the mainstream surfer and the adult surfer is the fact that one wants to see some visual eye candy (hot babes n' what not), where the other (mainstream) wants to access the text content quickly without much distraction (ie bevels, flashy gfx, shadows, gradients, etc etc ultimately increasing load time).

there's always something new to learn when it comes to design, and i know i have a lot to learn myself. but for those of you that don't win, make note next time to try n' stay away from all of those bevels, shadows, gradients, etc etc and try to focus on clean design techniques.

fuckfind and several others have the right idea IMO.

Very Well Said galleryseek.

Here's another try... a more clean looking approach this time.

Working on flash now. Subcats will pop up on mouseover event and Pictures will have a cool animation. Watch out for it.

Also... a GREAT way to develop better mainstream technique is to take a look at some of the bigger mainstream sites and get a feel for the design, and even attempt to recreate the design in photoshop. Take a visit to some of the bigger design firms who have high profile clients and take a look at their portfolio.

Doing this for awhile will help you get a feel for what the best in the biz do, and also help you develop your own unique style of mainstream design.

Same thing goes for flash... Flash is 90% creativity and 10% skill. Most people find it difficult and they think it's because they dont know how to use the tools, but that's not the reason. All the great flash pieces you see are composed primarily of simple tweens. It's difficult for most newcomers in flash because they don't have a developed sense of mainstream design. That's why I tell people to learn solid mainstream design techniques, BEFORE attempting to learn flash.

To check out well designed mainstream sites go to:
www.coolhomepages.com > although it isn't loading for me, it's a great place to learn from.

For those of you interested in flash, check out:
http://www.bestflashanimationsite.com/ They have a pretty nice archive of flash sites.

And there are obviously a lot more sites to gain ideas from, but these should help ya out if you're interested.

I agree once again, most design techniques are limited to what you can pull off in design programs, not what is actually in your head. With mainstream design, the cleaner the better, check out sites like ceonex.com and their clients, and cruise around the big guns (microsoft, nba.com, dell.com, etc. etc.) and notice the way they use 1 pixel differentiation to seperate content and colors.. no "blending" as commonly used in adult. A lot of people assume "design is design" but the adult world and mainstream world are seriously two different environments which should produce two different results.

try to realize in mainstream, the design should build credibility, unlike adult where design is based on persuasion.

I wouldn't know any of this unless I had one huge client a few years ago who was a huge pain in the ass on "clean" .... and i'm glad, because he was correct and very accurate.

Good luck ya'll.. this guy has NO more time to be cruising GFY!

I agree with you 100%. I focus more on mainstream designs that are clean, organized, and are easy on the eyes. I do about 75% mainstream and about 25% Adult, and I like the different aspects of each. They are totally different in their own unique ways.

But, June 30th is a Wednesday, not a Tuesday. I thought the contest was ending tonight at 11:00 since it is Tuesday... but then it says June 30th, at 11 PM which would be tomorrow at 11.

There are more than several solid top notch contenders so far that I've shown to people and got a "Wow" response on.

harvey · 06-29-2004, 12:35 PM

well, I was very ill and barely made time for this, but it's not an excuse since I was thinking on it all these days. Anyway, an absolutely different approach

working versions at http://www.fdsign.com/men.com/men-blue.html
and http://www.fdsign.com/men.com/red-or...en-orange.html

why I chose to do this?

First: is the best way for a neutral style (no straight, no gay, no girlie): NO IMAGES!
Second: I noticed KRL taste for simple stuff, just took the logo, added a 3d feel, took the word men and bam, that's all
Third: It looks very simple yet elegant, and the space at top, instead of being a problem because of the chosen images, can be used to place banners (that I'm sure will cost way more than 1500!

)
Fourth: If you place a banner there, it will "jump" to eye. If not, it will not distract the surfer eye from what really matters: the content

And last but not least: because I'm having nightmares with the guy who had an excess of radioactivity exposure and got his eyes fucked

(KRL, women may like him, but the remaining 66.66%? I just saw him in this thread and if I saw that pic again I'll get the guy and crush his head with a baseball bat, imagine seeing that pic every single day as the main pic in your site. Just an opinion)

anyway, that's it, hope you like

Very nice and clean gradient work, but I don't think the concept (the colour balance and the lack of images) will suit www.men.com very well. This doesn't look like a sexual related design, but its very nice otherwise.

Thanks and goodluck to everyone - many very good designs here. __________________

galleryseek Confirmed User Industry Role: Join Date: Mar 2002 Posts: 8,234	Well I figured since everyone else put it in flash I thought I'd give it a try too ;) My FLASH VERSION (29 KB) (The first 3 links at the top are buttons, didn't have enough time to finish the rest. Other looping transitional effects such as the guy being replaced by other suitable content would go well. oh ya, and design could stretch with some work.)

galleryseek Confirmed User Industry Role: Join Date: Mar 2002 Posts: 8,234	great contest... I think this'll be a learning experience for a lot of designers here. most designers who entered the contest do all primarily adult designs... fortunately i have a stronger mainstream background than my adult background. but one thing I learned when i started out, was when it comes to good mainstream design technique, it's best to stay away from the use of a lot of gradients, a lot of curves, shadows, etc etc... all of that stuff is great with adult design because the intent is to be glamourish, but mainstream design is more about textual content, therefore a design that isn't cluttered with a lot of 3d, bevels, shadows n' such everywhere, makes it easier for the visitor to visually access that content - and also makes the page load quicker. so the difference between the mainstream surfer and the adult surfer is the fact that one wants to see some visual eye candy (hot babes n' what not), where the other (mainstream) wants to access the text content quickly without much distraction (ie bevels, flashy gfx, shadows, gradients, etc etc ultimately increasing load time). there's always something new to learn when it comes to design, and i know i have a lot to learn myself. but for those of you that don't win, make note next time to try n' stay away from all of those bevels, shadows, gradients, etc etc and try to focus on clean design techniques. fuckfind and several others have the right idea IMO. just my 2

Working on flash now. Subcats will pop up on mouseover event and Pictures will have a cool animation.

galleryseek Confirmed User Industry Role: Join Date: Mar 2002 Posts: 8,234	Also... a GREAT way to develop better mainstream technique is to take a look at some of the bigger mainstream sites and get a feel for the design, and even attempt to recreate the design in photoshop. Take a visit to some of the bigger design firms who have high profile clients and take a look at their portfolio. Doing this for awhile will help you get a feel for what the best in the biz do, and also help you develop your own unique style of mainstream design. Same thing goes for flash... Flash is 90% creativity and 10% skill. Most people find it difficult and they think it's because they dont know how to use the tools, but that's not the reason. All the great flash pieces you see are composed primarily of simple tweens. It's difficult for most newcomers in flash because they don't have a developed sense of mainstream design. That's why I tell people to learn solid mainstream design techniques, BEFORE attempting to learn flash. To check out well designed mainstream sites go to: www.coolhomepages.com > although it isn't loading for me, it's a great place to learn from. For those of you interested in flash, check out: http://www.bestflashanimationsite.com/ They have a pretty nice archive of flash sites. And there are obviously a lot more sites to gain ideas from, but these should help ya out if you're interested.

harvey Confirmed User Industry Role: Join Date: Jul 2001 Location: 127.0.0.1 Posts: 9,266	well, I was very ill and barely made time for this, but it's not an excuse since I was thinking on it all these days. Anyway, an absolutely different approach working versions at http://www.fdsign.com/men.com/men-blue.html and http://www.fdsign.com/men.com/red-or...en-orange.html why I chose to do this? First: is the best way for a neutral style (no straight, no gay, no girlie): NO IMAGES! Second: I noticed KRL taste for simple stuff, just took the logo, added a 3d feel, took the word men and bam, that's all Third: It looks very simple yet elegant, and the space at top, instead of being a problem because of the chosen images, can be used to place banners (that I'm sure will cost way more than 1500! ) Fourth: If you place a banner there, it will "jump" to eye. If not, it will not distract the surfer eye from what really matters: the content And last but not least: because I'm having nightmares with the guy who had an excess of radioactivity exposure and got his eyes fucked (KRL, women may like him, but the remaining 66.66%? I just saw him in this thread and if I saw that pic again I'll get the guy and crush his head with a baseball bat, imagine seeing that pic every single day as the main pic in your site. Just an opinion) anyway, that's it, hope you like __________________ This post is endorsed by CIA, KGB, MI6, the Mafia, Illuminati, Kim Jong Il, Worldwide Ninjas Association, Klingon Empire and lolcats.
