Design Contest

I've received a total of 6 screenshots that matched the criteria enough to be published. All screenshots can be seen by visiting this page.

Use the comments below this post to judge each design. To make it easy, just use the number of each screenshot when discussing it. Instead of saying "X is crap" say "I like "Y and Z because.... ", remember people spent time to create these!

I'd like to thank all players who took their time to create a design, and I hope to soon choose one of these, or the to-be-received screenshots (I will add these when I get them).

Marc

Truthfully and honestly, personally, I don't think that 1,2,3 meet the criteria for a login page AS well as a stand alone page. For that, 4, 5 and 6 are more suited. 4 is graphically excellent and good concept, however lacks the ability to be manipulated into a second site due to its extremely space filling imagery, which btw is excellent. 5's good, but could do with a little, or rather a lot of work to be suited to both environments including improved imagery and text. But it does however have a lot going for it in overall design and usability. 6 doesn't really currently meet the login criteria as far as I'm concerned, however with little to no effort it could easily accommodate a simple login. Perhaps in place of country stats? And it would also leave an appropriate layout for a later second site as well as possessing the quality to be used for both.

Overall, in my opinion 6 is the best suited for the job.

P.S. First. :D

TheFury doesn't know what he's talking about. 2 or 3 are the best.

As a quick reply to TheFury:

Though the design will most probably replace the login page (meaning: it will be the front page of TMN), a login form can be added by us in seconds. Don't base your judgement solely on the visible login form on the screenshots provided.

In the Wise words of gene hunt i would like to say that the designs are not manipulated to the highest standards they are are half finished just like Ricky Hatton lols. Colours should be kept them same as current design. Furthermore Id like to say all designs are made by amateur designers who lack experience and vigilence. Last but not least i would like to say in the wise words of gene hunt "dont move your surrounded by armed b******ds"
ps: Your Well wisher

This is how easy it is to pretend to be Marc. Unless his name has an orange B infront of it its a false post. Also, Marc doesn't talk like a retard. This above post, and so I am assuming for a higher prize is clearly false. So it'll remain at 350 I assume :)

Why not make a Poll for this? Just to see what people would say. However there will always be people who will vote for themselves but ok!

Marc said...

A poll will definitely be scripted again, I'm after some "real" opinions by people willing to spend more than 5 seconds voting.

Comments removed were from some guy trying to be funny.

This is how easy it is to be someone else ..

Number 8 will get my vote for being creative and looking at it as a Mafia game. Been doing abit of Web coding my self and looks really good and well designed...rest of them are really good as well but No.8 is outstanding from the rest

Number 8 is the best. Others look a bit cheesy.

I dont to log in on all the screenshots but all it does is zoom in and out

Kronos said...

Typo Error Occured

I cant log in on any of the screenshots all it does is zooms in and out .Therefore i suggest you keep the original layout as you can log into it

Anonymous said...

No.9 I think is good :o

Change the background on NO.9 and you got yourself a good login page the background does not fit with a mafia type game..if the background is sorted with something to do with TMN then we got a winner..

All the rest are just old designs you have seen on other games allow that

P.S. Fyre im coming for you ;)
