Archive for the ‘Contests’ Category
You may have noticed that we at TemplateMonster have a lot of website templates with jQuery elements in them (e.g. slideshows, navigation tabs, functionality and design add-ons etc.). And we really mean that there’s a lot of them – there’s actually so many templates of this kind in our collection that it’s time for us to arrange it into a product category of some kind.
But since we’re pretty much new to all of this jQuery thing we do not really know what the best bane for that category would be. After all – the names of categories are for the audience, not for employees. So now we’re asking you guys your opinion about what we should call that category. Is it ‘jQuery templates’? Or ‘jQuery-powered templates’? Those were the first ones we could think of – perhaps you have better ideas (if you don’t – you are free to vote for the ones we suggested).
And of course no help will remain unappreciated! The randomly picked 5 participants that suggest the name that eventually will become a winner (or vote for that name in the comments) will receive any jQuery template from us for free AND the awesome ‘jQuery 1.4 Reference Guide’ eBook by Jonathan Chaffer and Karl Swedberg from Packt Publishing, also for free. As for all other participants – they’ll receive a 10% discount active for any template from TemplateMonster (so make sure you provide the right email in comments to this post).
The voting will only last during the first week of March 2010, so be sure to vote while it’s not too late!
Keeping the flow of great customization examples within our monthly customizations contest, we’ll currently feature the works of the three lucky winners of February race.
We thank all the other participants for their attention towards the contest, but as they say it – there can only be one winner (and two more for the discounts). Plus, it is another great chance for us to reveal the results of our diligent work in creating the best templates on the net – and your design and customizing efforts. Now it’s high time to present you our winners!

Again I had to change the 3D transition and as you don’t provide the source of your 3D animations I made an animation over it, using blending modes to change the eye colors to a CMYK pattern.
On this project I managed to keep the pixel fonts, I like them, my clients are the ones that complain they are too small.

You may have heard that earlier we announced a great contest – Share Your Template Customizations and Win A Free Template! And we are glad to inform you that today is a great day because we are ready to unveil the names of our lucky winners and show their great customization works. Actually it was really interesting to check out all the good stuff that you’ve sent us – there is no better fun for TemplateMonster than just surfing trough live websites that are based on our templates. This is a great experience for our team because we can see live results of our work and make many useful conclusions. It is a great opportunity to see the world of web design from another point of view – the point of website owners. So let’s start summing up the results of January 2010!

I originally like this template because in its main landing page it displays the gallery, with the option of maximizing the size of your art work characteristic which I wanted my site to feature. Adding to this the cool transitions from page to page. What I did was to create an intro page using my logo that now covers the entire site with a transparency, I also minimize the amount of gallery pieces from 32 to 16 changing the overall look of the gallery.
