Hi Everyone,

Thanks so much for all your incredible designs. Sorry I have not been in contact with some of you more regularly as the design process wound up. As you can see by how long it took us to pick a winner, this was an extremely close contest. Thanks to everyone for contributing such great designs and making this a very difficult to judge!

-----------------------------------
Congrats to the winner: .stylized
-----------------------------------

In the next couple weeks we will add a contest to redesign the public pages of the site. I have a feeling this will be infinitely more interesting to all you designers out there, as you will really get a chance to showcase your design skills!

Thanks again to everyone for participating, I wish you all the best of luck in your future contests!

Cheers

Jesse

Hi Everyone!

Great contest. Seriously impressed with the quality of the work here. We are going to take a day or two and digest everything and then we will be in touch with the finalists!

Once again, congratulations to everyone who participated. Thank you for making this a really difficult decision!

Cheers

Jesse

Hi Everyone!

Thanks so much all your great designs and entries! Everyone has done such a great job this is going to be a tough contest to judge.

With your final entries. Please put all of your best examples of each page into a single image file and submit that.

Thanks again everyone for a great contest!

Cheers

Jesse

Hi Everyone!

Goal Page and Beyond:
--------------------------
Please, once you have finished the profile page, move immediately onto the goal page. Once you have finished the goal page move immediately onto the coaching page. We are running tight on time. If you are waiting on feedback, please move on to the next page!

If you have any questions at all, please send me a PM. Thanks again for all your hard work.

Cheers

Hi Everyone!

Thanks so much to everyone who has managed to get their designs in for the goal page! There are some really great entries out there, but so far #161 has stood out from the crowd by capturing what we are looking for!

Anyone still looking to submit an entry, please do! This contest is not locked up for any designer. It is still anyone's contest to win.

--------------------
About Goal Page:
--------------------
Before you start on the goal page, please have a look at the requirements in the brief. We do not want a replication of what is on site. We are looking for something different!

Thanks again everyone! I look forward to seeing your latest designs. Please PM me if you have any questions!

Cheers

Jesse

Hi Everyone!

Thanks for a very productive round of designs! I have left individual feedback back for everyone. Please PM me if you have any specific questions.

My apologies if I am not as prompt providing feedback for the next couple days. I am traveling over the weekend. I will do my best to get feedback in as soon as I can. Please keep your work coming in. The ones who have managed to submit a couple efforts have shown serious improvement!

-------------------------------------------
TO ALL DESIGNERS (INC. THOSE NEW TO THE CONTEST):
-------------------------------------------

Let all move on to the goals page. Please see the brief or the comment below for the full requirements.

I am hoping this will be quite simple as it will use the same navigation/header/footer and widget. There will just be some details on the internals of the widgets. Should be quick work for a group of talented designers such as yourselves!

Those just joining the contest: Please start on the goals page, after I have seen your work I will direct you were to go next. There is a contest leader right now, but nothing is set in stone! A good design could easily pull us in a different direction.

Generally speaking, look to http://webdesign.meetup.com/395/ for Goal's Page Inspiration!

Thanks again to everyone for all your hard work, I look forward to seeing what you can do with Noomii's Goal's Page!

Cheers

Jesse

--------------GOAL PAGE BRIEF BELOW!!---------------

Hi Everyone!

I will be traveling for the next couple days and in an effort to provide great feedback but also use time efficiently I am going to post more in depth general comments and just numbers on the designs that reference the feedback below! I really appreciate all the hard work that everyone has put in so far!

At the moment, the content of #55 plus the navigation of #78 is our leader. Use only 80% of the color that #55 has in its body. We also like the bold color contrast that #99 has managed to get into his navigation.

For header design: Get every pixel of vertical real estate that you can out of it! We will appreciate the extra effort here!

Please send me a PM if you have specific questions!

Feedback:

1. You widget is not sitting above a solid grey background
2. There is not enough color in the widgets
3. The colors in your header are too distracting
4. Navigation must have all the elements currently found on site. Small image and name included!
5. Your buttons need polish
6. Your icons need polish
7. The colors of your buttons are too strong
8. The phone number does not stand out enough
9. Your footer feels disjointed
10. Distracting graphics in header
11. The header needs to extend 100% of the width
12. The footer needs to extend 100% of the width
13. There is too much color in your design (probably green, orange or red)
14. The find a coach button is not prominent enough
15. The color of the find a coach button is distracting
16. Your widget does not stand out enough
17. Your navigation needs work
18. Your layout is too white
19. Your layout is too dark
20. Too many colors in your design
21. There is not enough contrast in your design.
22. Your design needs to simplify
23. Put a border between the footer and body content.
24. Make sure your main content is 980 px wide
25. All images must be rectangular or square

Thanks again for all your effort. Please do what you can with this feedback and then move on to the goals page, the brief is below. I know this situation is not perfect. If you have specific questions please PM me.

Thanks again for all your effort!

Cheers

Jesse

------------GOALS BRIEF BELOW!!!-----------

Hi Everyone:

Thanks so much for all the entries! There is some real quality here and I can tell this contest is going to be difficult to judge!

It became obvious that we were not going to hit the deadline so I extended as far as I could with 99designs. No more extensions! Thanks for all your hard work so far! And best of luck as we finish this thing up!

I will provide specific feedback and general comments on the profile page designs. Below is the design brief for the goals page which we would like you to work on next. There are many similarities between the two pages, so it should be a smooth transition with all your super designs skills!

GOALS PAGE BRIEF:

1. Keep your header, footer from your previous design. Have a look at the 'Goals' image on the brief and/or http://www.noomii.com/users/jennife…-a-ferrari

2. Include the following widgets: Images, Google Ads, Todos, My Other Goals, Comments, About (general). Also include blank widgets that do not have any information in them to show and empty state. For this, do Images, Todos and Other Goals.

3. Somewhere on the page, we need an action list similar to that on the profile (remove as coach, add as partner etc). Preferably in a similar place to where you have placed it on the profile page. In this action list have the items: I want to do this, I did it, Hide my goal, Make my goal Public, Delete my goal

4. For the google ads widget it does not have to be a skyscraper. You can use any size. Have a look at https://www.google.com/adsense/stat…rmats.html for examples. But we do need to have adsense on the page. Border colors are customizable so you should be able to slip them in. Have a look at our articles page for an example. http://www.noomii.com/articles/26

5. It can be a two column or three column design, but for look and feel inspiration (only!) have a look at http://webdesign.meetup.com/395/ Use icons effectively (like meetup has) to guide the eye around the page.

There are so many possibilities about how to organize this information! I am really excited to see what everyone comes up with! Again, please limit your entries to individual designs with distinct differences. This will help us provide more concise feedback. Thanks!

Please let me know if you have any questions and thanks so much for your effort on the profile page!

Cheers

Jesse
