$30 Image Contest

[devanium]

I am selling niche software through my website. My USP (Unique Selling Proposal) is basically that my support staff helps people find the specific software that meets their unique requirements by personally interacting with them via phone or live support (thereby saving them time and money). I would like an image on my front page that communicates this USP effectively.

Here are a few formats that I like, but I look forward to seeing other ideas...

[Image: My Staff] "+" [Image: Customer] "=" [Image: Final Package]
"USP in quotes"

[Image: Complicated Image] "->" [Image: My Staff] "->" [Image: Final Package]
"USP in quotes"

Image size is 530px x 187px. Blue, glassy iconic images would fit in best with the website-- similar to Windows XP icon style. Payment via PayPal. Contest ends on Friday the 17th, or when I see an entry that I like.

Please post or PM any questions. Thanks!

What's with all the the legal bashing, lol.

So I guess, I have to make my own . What about using photos? Do they need permissions as well, I see everyone using photos for this contest.

Sorry, I'm a little new to design contest.

Edit: I may email them to ask if I can have permission to use these files for the purpose of this contest. In the mean time, I'll make my own.

Yes, this is what it says on their site here: http://interfacelift.com/site/license.html.

Therefore I can't accept the entry using those icons. If you would like to try making your own - I'd be happy to consider it.

Looking forward to the other entries.

Thanks!

Finally, doing this all night.

Everything you see is made by me personally, so hope it suits you.

That is pretty nice, but i guess that the thread opener want you to do something more to the box

I bet 10NP$ on it

 

[devanium]

DadaDesign -- Wow! Those look reall nice... the glass icons will fit my site's style perfectly. A few minor changes:

• Something more needs to be done with the box. Ideally, I'd like to see the box turned into a book (since I also sell instruction books to go with the software), and the CD lying up against it. But maybe just something on the box or a change in the positioning of the CD would work too.
• Would it be possible to seperate the people with arrows instead of the "+" and "="? And change the order of the reps and people? So the end result would be something like this: (Customers) -> (Support reps) -> Software. Sorry to change my mind on this from my first post, but I think this more accurately conveys the process (ie. customers coming to site, talking to reps, then buying the software).

So far this entry is #1.

JustMadMike -- Looking forward to seeing your design!

I just made this a few minutes ago. Yea, box was plain because I really needed to sleep, haha.

Just saw your post, I'll make revisions.

Hmm... How to make a book, back to work .

Done with changes you requested. Let me know what you.

I agree, format is much better.

 

[devanium]

DadaDesign -- Those look VERY nice! Just what I'm looking for! I like the top one of the best, but could you change the color of the book to the middle one's color? Also, could you make the right arrow identical to the left one (ie. same size and color)? And finally, will this be provided as a layered PSD? Thanks taking the time to create such a good image!

I'll wait until midnight tonight (Friday) for any other entries to be posted, then I'll announce a winner. If anyone else needs longer, just let me know (latest is Friday 4:30pm, business close). I'll also consider awarding a second place in the event that there are two images that I like. So far you are definitely #1 DadaDesign.

Thanks!

1st is the one you requested. I also have a suggestion for the software box, I added an outer glow, cause I notice the right side looks unbalanced and box seems bit dull, the 2nd design how it would look. So hope you like it.
