Tattoo Artist Website Contest

tattoosbycari.com

I am an individual tattooist looking to add a web presence. I do all kinds of work from free hand custom to cover up. I also do canvas art. I would like to include pages to support: -Service page(flash, portrait, ect..) -Artist profiles w photo, relevant certifications + brief resume -Current Studio (about, legal and license info -Customer Testimonials w photos -Photo Gallery of my work: Non-flash based and search engine friendly (I have plenty of pictures that I would like to be able to setup in some type of gallery. This is the main focus for the site) -Resources pages (FAQ, Sterilization, Health and Safety Standards, Aftercare Instructions, Minors Policy, Parental Consent Form) -Contact page with contact form, email for direct contact, embedded Google Map and the name, address and phone number of the studio, with street, city and state names fully spelled out (A girl can dream can't she!) -Hours of Operation and Appointment Information

While I like to exude a humorous side I would like the site to also be professional enough to show future clients my work.

I would like some type of tattoo font used for headers if possible. I really like the Rose Tattoo font from dafont.com The second url is for a favorite piece of mine for color ideas.

    @#26: I would like to see some type of tattoo gun icon as opposed to the curly whimsical things in the header. The blue is still a bit out of place. Maybe a bright read for the subscription highlight?

    @All: The nav bar from #22 is what I am looking for! I love the little gun icon!

    #28: Please use the Rose Tattoo font found in the feed back for the header...and is possible to use only the left gun and have them facing each other. Can also add a latest news section?

    @#18: Like the textures. I would like the header with my name to be more prominent. Please review my feedback for previous entries to see ideas to where the creative process has taken us. @#24/25: Please review feedback of other entries to see new color choices.

    @#16: The header is a bit too busy. The font would be better suited without all the extra photos behind it and I would like my name rather than the nav at the top. I really like the welcome and latest tattoo sections. I'm look for wine colors as opposed to the plum that coming across on my screen with these two entries.

    @All: I've looked into using the Rose font from the owner and have paid his "donation" so please use http://www.dafont.com/rose-tattoo.font?fpp=50&psize=l in the header. I'm also looking for individuals that can follow up after this design contest for coding work as well. Please send an email if this is something you are willing and able to do. @#12: Looking really close here. I would like a more "tattooy" font used at the top. The multicolored curve and use of tattoo gun icon on buttons is what I am looking for. Color choice here is spot on. @#13/14: Very nice header though I would like to see the colors reversed and the gradient a bit more prominent. The purple in both is a bit distracting. I actually like the curve of your #5 entry just wanted it to hang down as opposed to up but a single sweeping curve is also pleasing. The addition of the video section is spot on, though I like the smaller margin area of #13.

    @#6: Love the soft glow of the headers text though I would like it to be a little more creative than just straight font. The Nav text is a little to rigid for my taste. @#7: Very close with the header. I'd love to see it in a deep red as opposed to the purple. I understand what was on the brief sheet but my eyes have been opened and I like the look of red. I would like the nav bar to be a smoother integration (maybe same red?) as well and the use of the Tattoo gun icon is awesome!

    @All: After looking over these for a few hours I'm really leaning towards the red in #3.

    @All: Would like the nav "buttons" to have icons of some type (industry related would be nice...maybe some humor?!?!)

    @#5:Closer with the curve but I would like it to be in the top "Tattoos by Cari" header and flow down from there if that is a good description.

    @#3: Love the headings creativity and setup. I'm looking for the heading to curve into the main photo.

    @starfinch: I love the clean lines of these two. I would like the header to be a bit more creative/grandiose and to possibly curve over the main picture if the description makes sense and doable. The integration of the owl as a tattoo is nice, but it is actually wall art so doesn't actually work in the scheme of things. I will post more of my tattoo work to use in the layouts. @other designers: MOAR ideas!
