$500 DESIGN CONTEST @ Jokaroo.com!
 

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.

Template page to work with:

Additional HEADER features...
1. Include a Search box in the header
2. Make sure to include a Register, Sign in and a MyAccount link somewhere on the header.
3. Main header categories are: Video/Audio Footage, Movie Trailers, Gaming, Greeting Cards, Community, Tools & More
4. Make a clickable link to get to the front page of jokaroo.com
5. All main categories need to be drop downs for addition sub categories.

Quick question, you want to keep the logo right? or do you want a new looking logo?

We'd prefer to keep the same logo, but if you come up with something revolutionary, then ofcourse we'd change.
