Design a professional / art studio-quality User Interface for our Windows / Mac OS X software in Photoshop

**Dear Artists, We are looking for a graphic designer to create a new interface for our Mac OS X / Windows software. ** We want our software to look professional because it is already used by thousands of people. Please help us create the perfect interface in Adobe Photoshop! Your design should be cutting-edge and creative: We want your design to inspire confidence in our product. We want this design to connect with our audience of professional DJs and musicians. **Here are our guidelines:** 1. Your design should make the software look more expensive than it really is 2. Please use blue colors in at least one part of the interface. Blue is used frequently on our website. 3. Your design has to be original 4. Given our DJ audience, we want the product to look technical but not overly so -- Our software is simple enough for anyone to use. We want a design that looks like an expensive watch. 5. Please keep our original "default Windows buttons". We cannot change them to a custom look. 6. Please use default fonts that come with Windows: Verdana, Tahoma, Arial. 7. We are looking for a nicely textured, 3D look without being too obvious or "Web 2.0" **If you qualify, we look forward to your bid! ** Thank you for your time. ## Deliverables **You must have the following qualifications: **1. Completed at least 5 jobs on RentACoder 2. Minimum rating of 9.00 in the last 12 months 3. Ability to get this project done in 3 days or less 4. Your art portfolio must be available online. *Please do not submit examples of HTML design or Flash animation because they cannot help us choose the right designer for this project. * **Regarding your portfolio:** We are looking for examples of Logo Design, Interface Design and how well you can coordinate colors. Our company has to compete with companies like Apple, so our design has to be cutting-edge and beautiful. We want to see your best work. **Our required deliverables are: **1. Three versions of your software interface created in Photoshop. Each file should be different: We are looking for different ideas to make the best decision 2. You are designing only *ONE* screen of the application, and we'll do the rest 3. Your interface must use separate Photoshop layers 4. You should attach any textures or gradients as separate files 5. You will send us three separate Photoshop files at the end 6. Each design has to be usable immediately -- it must look polished and professional. **Our timeline for this project is: ** Three days after the bidder is chosen. We need quick turn-around time on this project because we want to launch our new software update and it depends on this interface. **We are attaching three screenshots in a .ZIP file so you can see the original interface for yourself:** 1. "Redesign This Interface" shows the image you'll be working with. 2. "Our New Product" shows the direction that we took with our new product: More textures, a 3D look, etc. This is what we want for #1. 3. "Current Co-branded Version" shows the same software as #1, but styled by our partner company. It's an example of how another designer approached this project. **Please note: ** All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law.

We are in the midst of a logo redesign project and we decided to put this bid request on hold until the logo is ready. It will be easier to re-design the interface after the logo is ready. At that time, we will contact bidders individually for private auctions through RentACoder. Thank you again, Yakov ## Platform Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, Graphic User Interface, GUI, UI, Graphic Design, Application Interface, Graphics, Artwork, 2D, 3D, Layout, Logo Design
