Contest Brief
E-Commerce Website Redesign Mockups
1. WHO WE ARE
CSVAPE.COM, a California based e-commerce site that offers a wide variety of vape devices and liquids. We are completely redesigning our site which will contain more products, new features as well as informational material and resources. Our view on vaping is that its not only a healthier alternative to smoking but its also a lifestyle. The main user demographic of our site is between the ages of 18-35, but it should be intuitive & functional for all ages since many of our users are 40+. Our customers are international and from all over the world.
2. WHAT WE WANT
Website design mockups that demonstrate innovative, stunning, modern, clean, intuitive, and unique graphics . The new site design should have more of a lifestyle feel (using beautiful imagery showcasing products and users) and NOT like the typical vape sites. The website will be responsive and should have a consistent design for web, tablet & mobile.
For this contest, you only have to create the Home Page and a Product Category Landing page design mockups for web. We have provided the wireframes that contains the layout and content that should be on these 2 pages. Please note that the layout of the content (from top to bottom) represents the priority of that content on the page, so please do not reorder the content.
3. WHO WE WANT
We would like someone with strong artistic chops who can come up with original concepts and is capable of creating their digital models to be implemented on visual designs. Someone who can think outside of the box and create stunning, high quality unique and copyrighted designs.
4. WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU?
If your design is selected as the winner, we may create a project for you and you will have the opportunity to design the rest of the website in web, tablet and mobile experiences which are approximately 30 unique pages. (The details will be discussed, so a good level of English is required.)
5. GENERAL GUIDELINES
a. Site Photos - you can use any of the photos on our Instagram page (preferably with the logo cropped out if you do use them on your designs)
https://www.instagram.com/csvape/
b. Stock Photos - also feel free to use stock photos from the internet representing the Vape industry. Avoid using women sex-appeal in the designs.

c. Logo & Emblem, 2 Wireframes - See attached
e. Color schemes - The main theme colors are white, black, grey, blue (matching our logo & emblem).
Feel free to use other colors that may complement these colors.
UPDATE 2/13/16:
To clarify, we are not looking for designs that simply fill in the wireframe boxes with images. The boxes on the wireframe are only there to show the content that should be on the page. We are looking for designs that are more unique and creative. For example, combining the content of the boxes into one image but visually distinguishing the sections with different background images and/or colors. Or creating your own unique graphics, or layering of images. Please be very creative and think outside the wireframe box; novelty and surprising elements will be valued. Also we prefer lighter designs/images over dark.
