Donating 8 hours design time to any project

8 pointsby Cheeeseabout 15 years ago
I have a free day tomorrow that I would like to donate to any project. What I can do for you in 8 hours?<p>- Look at how your content is structured and figure out the best way to communicate your idea - Working on the user experience and the mechanics of the idea - Take a look at you branding (fonts, colours, logo etc) - Make broader recommendations that might make the idea more compelling<p>Realistically I will be able to get one (maybe two) key pages designed. Once it's done I will deliver a PSD with all the design assets you need. If you are serious about making the UX of your idea better and are willing to implement some changes drop the URL in the comments or email me at oneintenthousand@gmail.com<p>Why am I doing this? Because I am also trying to get a startup rolling myself and have learned much from other people willing to donate their time. I also love design and figuring out design problems is always an interesting challenge. I will pick one project and get cracking tomorrow (Australian time). You can check out some of my previous work here: http://www.jasonstrachan.com

People here keep on telling me that my website (<a href="http://www.tarsnap.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.tarsnap.com/</a>) is horrible. I'm not convinced that it's really as bad as they say, and given my intended audience (unix geeks who appreciate a lynx-accessible website) I don't want to lose the minimalism; but if someone can improve the site without losing said minimalism I'd be very interested to see the results.

I'd be ashamed to accept your offer without any payment in return, but I'd be most happy if someone that knows design would have a look at ww.com.<p>So go and spend your 'free' time on something else, but if you feel like doing a freelance job let me know.<p>What a fantastic thing to do by the way, really classy.

I would love some assistance, but I don't think this is the type I need. What I really need is some hook that will help get me mentally engaged and drawn into learning to make a simulation. I don't really know where to start and my attempts in that direction so far have not born fruit.<p>Good luck. I hope this goes very well for both you and whomever you gift your services to.
