BeemerBoy Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 I think the yellow outline around "Theme Park Review" is a bit harsh on the eyes. And there's maybe a couple really minor things I'd pull from the other top contenders. Other than that, Jack's is pretty dead on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted January 13, 2012 Author Share Posted January 13, 2012 (edited) ^So are you not accepting any more submissions? Just curious. We will always accept submissions. But I'll be honest, at this point you're up against David and Jack. The design needs to really OMFG WOW!!! in order for it to be considered.' Â I'm just being as up front as I can. I also don't want anyone to waste their time. Edited January 13, 2012 by robbalvey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piers Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Yeah, those two are really cool, current looking and look easy to navigate, its gonna be tough for anyway to beat those. Â My submission was just a picture of my face but I couldn't figure out how to upload it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DougMJr Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 I'm just being as up front as I can. I also don't want anyone to waste their time.  That being said, this will be my final submission. I just didn't want to abandon this draft midway through.  Click to Enlarge Tablet Friendly IPhone friendly  Features: -Feature story carousel. -Scrollable "Timeline" updates, with three options. Offical, Forum, or combined. -Hover over image for description, very minimal text. -Drop down menu, changes whenever you hover over a different "tab." -"Featured Park" section will draw traffic to the park index. -Tablet friendly, and usable on mobile devices. -Contains pretty much all of the functionality of the current Front page and then some. -Modern "2010" design, inspired by Apple.  Whatever design is picked, I'm sure it will be great. Even though mine may not stack up against David's or Jack's designs I am very proud of it. This was a lot of fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swiminn6 Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Nice design Jack! I think the only thing I don't really care for is where the ad is placed. They wanted something integrated and I think the best way to do that is put it somewhere horizontally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone asked me about that and I said it should stay in the same location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ILoveRides Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 (edited) I made some significant changes and am curious what people think.  What I did: - Removed shadow from main menu bar - Banner image is smaller in height - Search box reduced in width - "All Updates" tab label is now "Newest Updates" - Updates now scroll vertically - Updates have a title and full description - Added a social media column for Facebook and Twitter feeds  Thoughts?  (Also, credit where credit is due - I'm trying to make a hybrid of the best elements between my design and Jack's design. So some of the ideas are from his design.) Edited January 14, 2012 by ILoveRides Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryce232 Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 I love that you made the Facebook feed gray as opposed to the usual white, it definitely makes it fit better with the rest of the page. I love it all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ernierocker Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Could we combine the top of Jack's design (with the large photo and tabs underneath) with the bottom of David's design (News Updates/TPR Updates and Facebook/Twitter feed)? Anybody else think that could possibly be the perfect front page design with that combination? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robbalvey Posted January 14, 2012 Author Share Posted January 14, 2012 Like I said before, I think we have two "winners" in my mind. I would love nothing more for David and Jack to work together and help us refine the final page. As it stands right now, either one of these could easily "go to print", so to speak. Â As a message to both David and Jack - I don't have any further comments for you guys right now. If you want to continue to make little "polish passes" based on some feedback given, or nitpicks that I'm sure you personally have, feel free to post new versions. It will be a few weeks before I can actually get this whole thing off the ground anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vigil Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Well, I had been working on this and wanted to submit it anyway. There is the main TPR update feed with the large picture and the bar below for other updates, which jump up and display the description when moused over.

Jay20016 Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 For the iloverides one: Am I the only one who thinks the left justified TPR logo seems a bit off, there is a lot of empty space between it and the social media buttons... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted January 14, 2012 Author Share Posted January 14, 2012 He said the more Apple and less Windows the better! There is one thing to take a suggestion I made and implement it. It's another thing to overdue it. I appreciate your efforts, but I don't think this is quite what we are looking for, sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sspaz1000 Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 I want David's and Jack's layouts to have a baby. Or multiple babies. I think those two should be working together trying different elements of each others layouts and working on the best hybrid. Â I can't even say, what I like about each anymore, I just like them overall and they fit what TPR is, and is new yet familiar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chroniq Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 One of the things I personally dislike about Iloverides design is the use of grey as a sub background. I think that's why jcrouse's design pops more for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imawesome1124 Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 The only thing that could make Iloverides' submission better is if the TPR logo was centered, as I know someone has said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STR8FXXXINEDGE Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 ^ I don't know, from a design standpoint, I kind of like it off-centered. If you think about it, nothing else is really centered on the page either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
