I need a header mast (can be thin or pictorial) 100~300 pixels high, 970 wide. and 9 badges (large buttons 160 x 240 pixels as transparent PNGs or Photoshop PSD). Each badge is labelled or indicative of it's function (I can tool tip them). A rollover state for the badges is preferred. 1 Request Keyword (request new Niche Keyword) 2 Search Database (content/topic ideas database of actual searches) 3 Create Shortlist (content/topic ideas shortlist project) 4 Manage Shortlist (content/topic ideas shortlist project) 5 Create Campaign (post scheduling timeline) 6 Manage Campaign (manage scheduling timeline) 7 ADMIN view only - Create Data Set 8 ADMIN view only - Manage Data Set 9 ADMIN view only - Manage Keyword Requests (The words in brackets are so you know what it does to indicate it visually) The concept of a "badge is it is a big button including branding, icon and function intent. The user should not have to guess what the function is - hence I tend to add the function in words, in a stylised, consistent, way (like a frame) and not just rely on a cryptic visual metaphor. I am looking to you for the colour scheme and font usage. I am open to design style - flat, pictorial, hand sketch, nuveau, cartoonish, etc.. It's whatever you think will look cool and professional. PLEASE SUPPLY one "ROUGH" badge idea (in your chosen colours) with your application, so that I can see your envisaged style. BACKGROUND: The SaaS is a data intelligence tool. It provides content topics actually searched for in any niche, based on a master keyword topic. It groups the results in to 10 "modalities" (typically of 20 ideas for each), so around 200 ideas per query. Bear in mind these are actually searched for and asked questions. They are not just PPC style keywords. It's main goal is to provide SILO's and Content Topic maps to create an authority website, but it also gives great insights in to the audience avatar because it is based on real-time actual QUESTIONS people have on that topic, right now. From T Shirt ideas to corporate SEM silos, this is a really effective tool to deeply understand any topic.
