131161 Web 2.0 Website Redesign

We are requesting bids from graphics designers to refine and enhance the look and feel of the site: http://www.podcastnewsservice.com. We do not require a change in the structure of the site or a re-write of the copy, but simply to improve the overall quality of the graphics so that it conveys the proper professional image. The designer can use the same basic design elements so long as the result is a crisper more polished look. In other words, we are not looking for a major redesign, we just want to improve the appearance of what is already there. *** PROJECT SCOPE *** The project consists of creating 2 comps or mock-ups. One of the home page and the other the "Benefits to Publishers" page. The comp of the "Benefits to Publishers" page should be designed so that it can be reused as a template for other informational pages on the website. The comps can be provided as image files. We are mainly looking for an update to the existing design but if you feel you have a better idea for a major design change, we are always interested in new ideas. Please explain your idea for a major design change before submitting a bid so that we can approve it. Multiple iterations of the design may be required before the project is considered completed. All design files used in making the comps must be provided at the end of the project. *** REQUIREMENTS *** We are currently looking for highly skilled, creative individuals that are interested in developing a long-term working relationship with our company. We have multiple upcoming design projects ready to go and would like to use this project to discover designers that we are able to work well with on future projects. The winning bidder will be selected after reviewing sample work that demonstrates their ability to create clean, professional designs. Designs should follow the current style of Web 2.0 designs ([login to view URL]). *** DESIGN EXAMPLES *** Here is a list of websites that have the type of design we would like to achieve: [login to view URL] [login to view URL] [login to view URL] [login to view URL] [login to view URL] [login to view URL] [login to view URL] [login to view URL] Here are some competitor's sites that can be used for comparison purposes.
