    can be anything but boring

    I like your colors, and wanted to ask if you could incorporate #8C4510 as well?
    Also, I'm thinking lots of eye candy for the design - as far as the header and sidebar
    go, leaving the content "pure".

    And since you don't need the hosting prize, I can offer backlinks and promotion - not
    a problem! Just let me know what to link to and your preferred anchor text

    hmm Just clarify for me what your idea of grunge is? Mine I suspect is completely different!!

    I'll have another go when I get back from lectures/shopping.

    I have some logo sample layouts and decorative text as well. But am quite new to posting the links here. Would I do the same like I did in the other contest?
    Yes Goldjobber. Simply do as you did with the other postings. Screenshots
    will be fine, just link to them using our BBCode:

    HTML Code:
    [IMG]http://your-site.com/test.jpg[/IMG]
    Looking forward to the submissions!

    Grunge to me is (please remember I'm NOT a graphics person, just a wannabe)
    a displaced look, like rusting metal, or something like these:
    Reverse Grunge - Easy Texture Technique in Photoshop (and others) | BittBox
    5 really great grunge fonts: etc: quick links to good stuff

    And I LOVE the (if you can call your technique this) "background designs" on
    the images you've done here: Flickr: Photos from xhan104

    This site has - at least the header image, swirly lines on it that I am thinking
    of as far as "eye candy": Sons of Korah

    I hope I'm not too picky! I just have very strict tastes

    Okily dokily...
    Here are my first two entries. If I get another day like today where clients cancel due to snow, I might make up a couple more.

    I made a screeny of it for posting in here, slightly scaled down to fit.

    Let me know what you think. Colors are totally changeable.


    If you would like to see it as a make shift html page
    you can go to my site..goldjobber.com/fsn_contest_entry.html

    Do let me know what you think

    Ps...that font you really like... the one called Trashed...Dude I dl'd it to see what your logo would look like...UUUUGGGGLLLLY! well not that bad, but hard on the eyes to read.
    Let me know if you want that as a possibility, if no one else mocks it up I can...I will warn you though...Erf!

    I've found the colours very hard to work with on this one!



    Still had some bugs!

    Really like these !

    Goldjobber, I want to stay with the "professional look". Not that your not a pro, it's just
    that your images are more "whimsical" I need more of a "corporate" look - BUT a grungy one

    Han, The fierceStreet Network name is not really the branding I'm going after, but the
    keyphase "Web Standards In Design" is what I want prominently displayed.

    And the colors I have in the schemes are too hard to work with? Thanks for these so far!!!!
