[REQ-Graphic] A simple graphic contest - $30

[Jaynesh]

Type of Contest : GRAPHIC Design
Prize : $30.00 (via paypal)
There is a possibility of being more then 1 winner. If I like more then one, each winner will get paid. However, at least 1 winner is guaranteed.

Contest End Date & Time :
21/07/2012 - Saturday 21st 2012

Size Requirements :
Please use the psd template attached.

Color Requirements :
The main colours are, #dadde4 and #40434c. You may modify the shades to your liking and also add your own idea for colours.

General Requirements :
I want a very simple graphic that will display a users age. The twist to this is, it won't just display the year it will go down to the second.

e.g

22 years, 217 days, 3 hours, 18 minutes & 44 seconds.
All this information needs to be put inside a small box in a creative way.

Here is an example of what I have made but I think you guys
can do so much better and would love to see what you can come up with.

The font used on this is Bebas.
It is highly recommended that you use this, but feel free to experiment.

Remember

• It must be simple.
• It must be very easy to read.
• When a user looks at it they must immediately know what they are looking at.
• It must all fit inside the box, in the template provided.

Feel free to step outside the box (not literally).
You don't have to use pure text on this.
If you need a tiny bit more space, please make the box bigger but don't forget to inform me.

Also, don't forget to have fun! :D



Additional Information : No Additional Info.

Hello, here is my entry for the user age display.

It's attached below, it won't let me embed it because I haven't been a member for 10 days yet so I cant post links [I think]. Sorry.

Thank you,

ChadsGFX, Thanks for your entry. I like the 'age' being outside the box however unfortunately I don't have that freedom to place it out of the box. Can you try playing with it being inside the box.

JOKSTER543, Thanks for your entry. I like the way you've played with the layout. Can I see how this would look with the font smaller?

chaseanderson, Thanks for your entry. You have some nice elements in here. As I said to chad, I like the idea of the 'age' being outside the box, unfortunately I don't have that option. Can you play with it being inside the box. Some changes I would recommend is to increase the opacity on the drop shadow, as it is too strong at the moment and also maybe make the divider lines slightly thinner

SK1990, Thanks for your entry. I like the idea for the gradient background, however its too dark at the moment. Can you make it lighter and also reduce the font size.

Very good entries. Also, Don't be afraid to play around with the layout and order of things. e.g You can try fit the year and days into one section and the hour, minute, second into another section.

SK1990, I really like your 2nd entry. I like the placement of the 'age' at the top. I prefer the one the with dark top bar. I can't think of any changes you could make to this. Feel free to work on other concepts.

Gooddesigner, I really like the styling around each section. The 'age' placement is good and the lines beside it compliments the entire design very nicely. I prefer the darker version over the lighter one. Again, I can't think of any changes you could make on this. Feel free to work on other concepts.

JOKSTER543, can you please submit your entries as images. Thanks

At the moment SK1990 and Gooddesigner are currently the top contenders.

If you are having trouble fitting things in, feel free to abbreviate the words. e.g 'minute' could become 'min' and hour could become 'hr'.
