Semiomantics Design Contest

November 24, 2010
By

The new web­site for Semi­oman­tics and the related Affil­i­ate Pro­gram need attrac­tive ban­ners. To get some inspi­ra­tion we hereby launch a Design Con­test whereas you may either remain within the actual design para­me­ters of Semi­oman­tics or cre­ate some­thing com­pletely out of the box.

1. Design Parameters

At present we use the ‘Cap­ture it’ font for the brand­ing (logo, head­ers etc). You may down­load it from here.

2. Sizes

The fol­low­ing ban­ner sizes are needed:

  • 468x60
  • 125x125
  • 300x300
  • 300x250
  • 250x250
  • 728x90

Also you may want to shoot for a Page Peel Ad as loaded on the top right cor­ner of this site. The small image (spe­cial offer) is 75x75 pix­els, the large ad is 500x500.

3. Exam­ples

4. For­mat

All sub­mis­sions in .psd (Pho­to­shop For­mat) and either jpg, png or gif.

5. Delay

To enter the com­pe­ti­tion you must mail your zip files con­tain­ing the psd plus a browser friendly for­mat to Bianca and/or to myself  by tomor­row Thurs­day, Novem­ber 25, 2010 6 pm Lon­don time (one hour before the call).

5. Price

We will dis­cuss the results at tomorrow’s call at 7 pm Lon­don and reveal the winners.

The win­ning ban­ners of each size will fetch $20 each, unless Nikos Adver­ti­zopou­los decides otherwise :-).

Tips from Nikos Advertizopoulos

  1. Be smart, know your client and deliver some­thing he likes; he likes black/white/gray and red as a color scheme.
  2. Now as you have made your trib­ute to hypocrisy, go wild, think out of the box and imag­ine Semi­oman­tics brand­ing YOUR way!
  3. What­ever size you develop, think about the fact that the design must be usable in all sizes.
  4. Think about the dis­play of the ads: they must look great on the sites they are pub­lished on, in fact make the ads more beau­ti­ful than what­ever other graph­ics may be on pub­lish­ing websites.
  5. Now do a belly but­ton dance and design a ban­ner you would just love to have on your own web­site: apply col­ors and styles which fit your site and don’t give a darn about what HE may like. Last but not least: if you are the only sub­mis­sion in French or Ger­man, you have a good chance to succeed.

Note: You may sub­mit mul­ti­ple entries. Also, if you win, it may result in more work … you know your cus­tomer … but also in more rewards.

    My wife and i felt so thank­ful when Edward could carry out his web research out of the pre­cious rec­om­men­da­tions he grabbed in your web site. It is now and again per­plex­ing just to choose to be releas­ing tricks that peo­ple today could have been sell­ing. There­fore we fully under­stand we need the web­site owner to appre­ci­ate for this. The main illus­tra­tions you made, the easy web­site nav­i­ga­tion, the rela­tion­ships your site give sup­port to pro­mote — it’s got mostly great, and it’s facil­i­tat­ing our son and us do think that mat­ter is sat­is­fy­ing, and that’s espe­cially essen­tial. Thank you for all the pieces!
