For Those Of You With Vision: A Challenge
Thursday, February 21, 2008 at 05:26PM
I want to redesign this site. The picture above is an old promotional shot from TeXtra and the color scheme is not my favorite. Unfortunately, I have no vision for creativity. I can't accessorize to save my life, the walls in my apartment are painfully bare, and my sister informs me that my wardrobe on Loaded is "boring" and that I need to "push the edge a little more." I am left brain.
I was talking to my very good friend Naldo about this yesterday. He is one of the most creative graphic designers that I know (and also a good dancer: He is the groom in this video). Naldo suggested that I ask my readers to help out instead of finding a random designer on Craigslist. He actually suggested a contest like Doodle 4 Google.
I don't have a team of judges and I don't have a grand prize to give out like Google does but if you would like to take a stab at redesigning this Web site, have at it! I will pay the person whose design I like the best $100 via PayPal, give mad props to him/her on this site, and happily be a reference on his/her resume or Web site.
Here is what I am looking for: I would like to get rid of this aquatic-looking color scheme. Perhaps something a bit more gender-neutral. Even a gray scale would be nice. I don't like the font that my name is written in above either. I would also like to use either one of the two photos below in the header. I'm not really all that picky about it but one is quite formal and the other is more casual. I'm sorry I can't give too many more guidelines. Like I said, I have no vision.
If you want to submit a design, please either post a link to your design in the comments or email it to me at ndelconte-at-gmail-dot-com. I will be choosing a winner by next Friday, February 29.
Thank you to anyone who considers helping me with this! I hope to create a prettier place for us all to visit here at natalidelconte.com!

I would have loved to design something, but it has been a busy week. I'll try to design something over the weekend anyway.
Love your new show loaded
And you look pretty and cute.
