Thanks for helping with our design. We are helping businesses to evaluate and hire film production companies for product demos, commercials and company announcements! Spokesbox allows those businesses to draw multiple entries from film competitions, and businesses can hire single production studios directly.
Include our elements, but be creative! We are attaching wireframe elements for each of the 3 pages that need design layouts. The design should make it simple for a small business to figure out exactly how to order a video, and show them exactly where to go next to research the process and order now.
One of the unique elements of the site is that you can rank each of the production companies for your own benefit, and you can see the cumulative rank of each production studio.
Harabara is the ttf used for the logo design: http://www.dafont.com/harabara.font
The Spokesbox Index page explains what we do, and guides users to review studio profiles, or how to begin a job. It also directs production companies on where to go to create their profile.
The profile page is a studio's business card, it should be a relatively glamorous page (we want studios to know that we want to present them with class and elegance. Keep the elements clear, and avoid making it feel like a data dump.
The competition page should also be clean and get the most important elements out there up front...Competition award, time left, design brief, etc., We want the companies to feel excited to have a competition page of their own, so highlighting their own logo is important.
Please don't take our wireframes so literally that you're not having fun with the design. The suggestions and wireframes are meant to show you what appeals to our design tastes, but we chose to go the 99Design route because we wanted more ideas.
We promise to give lots of feedback along the way as we have in our logo design competition - we appreciated the 100+ entries to our logo contest.
