#9 great design, just noticed a small little thing that would make it even better - When you flipped the door horizontally, it also flipped the text, you might want to erase that text and add a new one (maybe even say their website name on it) ? ;) Just friendly advice from a fellow designer.
Just submitted my design #10. Let me wait for your comments/suggestions.

@ ScottHarrell - Plz keep the contest open for few more hours. I will submit my entry though Jun's design is stunning... I agree but wait for my entry.
Thank you,

Jun has absolutely come through in design #5. Great job- one of the most creative designs I have seen on the 99designs.com website. Your integration of the magnifying glass is PERFECT. The colors work extremely well with the overall theme and mood you have captured in your design and all of my requested elements have been included.
There are only a couple of changes that could possibly made and I have outlined them in the feedback I have left for you under the design.
Soarup created a really cool idea for a header in #3 which gave it the feel of a running timeline... my staff liked the dramatic effect of the couple in the filmstrip very much and the camera looked really cool!
Interesting contest. What you're asking for seems a bit strange and too much trouble, though I may enter.
In #1 I like the use of the dark background and the bright contrasting colors in the navigation bar across the top but the website does not convey "action." I am not necessarily set on a single navigation bar across the top.
While I am a fan of the magnifying glass I am not a fan of the "Sherlock Holmes" or "Inspector Clouseau" type image of a PI in a trench coat and fedora hat. I should have specified that in the original description but I have updated it in the contest description.
If you are going to use pictures of people, I would prefer to see them with long lensed cameras, looking through binoculars, spying on someone from around a corner or with a radio in their hand.
Hi and thanks for your interest.
I've had a couple of private massages now asking about what types of sites I like and the design elements that catch my eye.
I found a few websites that caught my eye for one reason or another so I will do myt best to explain:
http://www.templatehelp.com/preset/…914VVq7ihg
I like this because it is about a single theme and they have built upon that theme. What I like most is the "action" I fee when looking at the design. The overall layout and colors are not what I am looking for though.
I am a HUGE FAN of the use of the magnifying class bringing detail into focus in the header like in the website http://www.backgroundinfousa.net/me…s/binfousa
That magnifying glass is one of the best I have seen.
I can tell you that I also like the "2.0 look;" a graphic header with menu boxes on the left and right side would be very appropriate.
I like the dark gray/ light gray and red color combination used in the "media mogul" theme template at http://demo.rockettheme.com/ perhaps throw in some blue as in the "carbonite" theme "user 4 middle position" box.
While these are joomla templates- I am not looking for a joomla site.
Hope fully this helps a little. I'd say let creativity be your guide.
