Brief summary:
Design a website for a new computer company

Full description:
Tech Gurus UK are a newly formed company, in Birmingham. They sell, build, and repair computers. They are looking for a clean and modern website layout, that will attract the attention of their visitors. They would like a left sidebar, which users can login, view the most recent item added to their basket, and see the weeks featured deal. On the homepage they would like an image slider, with their latest deals scrolling from right to left. Below that, they would like their most popular items. For the footer, they would like some quick links, as well as 3 or 4 of their product vendors; ATI, AMD, Intel and Nvidia.

Who can enter?:
Anyone who is a member of the forum can enter, no matter what your skill level or post count is.

Deadline:
19th September 2011 - all entries must be in before this date

Rules:
This is to be uncoded site. (JPG, GIF or PNG) (Max File Size 1mb)
The image submitted must be of a reasonable size for judging
The design must be your own work.
if you need filler text you can use this site to generate it http://www.lipsum.com


How to submit your design:

PM myself (Ash Scott) and I will reply with my email address for you to send your design.
(I don't want to publish it to non-members )


Please please PLEASE, name your JPG/PNG files as your USERNAME, so I can easily identify the entrants

And the winner is...

on August 1st (or thereabouts), the entrants to the competition will be placed into a poll, where all members of the forum can vote on which design they think is the best, the poll will be open for 2 weeks.


Quick side note:
None of this work will be used in any way other than this competition, all work will be the property of the person who creates it. You are playing for Bragging Rights only :)


If you have a question, feel free to ask :)

Do post a message here or PM me if any of this doesn't make sense for some reason.

Good Luck!
Ash

Sounds VERY familiar!


P.S. Everyone, looks like not only do you get bragging rights if you win but you should also be seeing the return of the winners 'Shiny Forum Badge' lol

So can we recycle designs for this comp? I do have an old design that I can tweak, just don't have enough times due to client projects.
