Real Verdict

COMPETITION NOW OVER

I have decided to hold a competition to create the design of Real Verdict when it returns.

Here's the logo:

The website must be in 800x600 and accomodate:

* A TV Guide
* Television news
* Letters section

The Real Verdict television news headlines must appear on the homepage.

Apart from that, there are no other restrictions. The winner obviously gets their design used, and will of course be credited on the site.

You want a page created for all three? Or just an example template? I don't mind having a go...

An example template of how you would like to see a TV news site (like Waveguide, Media Guardian etc) designed.

Had a likkle go.

Used a article and image from DS as example, and the design uses the colours of the logo. The links are all there on the nav bar.

Heres one I quickly threw together:

I've done a few different layouts for the same design -

Simple layout

With side panel for extra features

With pictures to illustrate the headlines (you could use these only when a picture is available/necessary).

I'm afraid I've altered the logo slightly, but the original one could still be used. Hope you like them.

Some great suggestions there.

Benji, I'd be interested in seeing how your design would work as an actual HTML site rather than a .gif image.

I'll give it a little longer before I make any decision, as there may be others who want to enter a design.

Here's an example of an article - http://members.lycos.co.uk/bpeersdesign/realverdict/bbcnews1.html

I've made my decision. I've decided to develop Benjy's idea.

He's already provided a second design, and it's the best look that Real Verdict has ever had. This one's here to stay!
