Financial Services

www.bluecrestcapital.com.au

BlueCrest Capital is a financial services firm that manages investments in foreign exchange (FX) markets, to produce consistent and significant returns for everyday retail investors. The service offers a higher-return alternative to the typical direct investments in shares & property. The investment service uses a mathematical algorithm that constantly trades global foreign exchange markets with high-frequency micro trades that generate profits regardless of whether markets are going up or down.

Would like the website to use a deep dark blue-grey colour as background to impart a corporate feel. Refer to the downloadable design brief and related additional comments below. Dislikes: clutter, icons.

Please refer to the design brief downloadable at this link and the related comments that follow: https://www.yousendit.com/download/T2dlWmdxV3JkMnRESjlVag Notes on the design mock-up: 1. The two slides in PPT represent the home page and then a content page. 2. The dark blue background (1,25,41) is not a fixed choice, however we do like this kind of deep dark greyish blue. Feel free to vary it a little. Also we like the idea of the background having texture and/or gradient. 3. The content used is the actual content except for the 3 images used in the bottom section of the home-page mockup 4. The placement of items on the page is fixed. We want the content to be located where we have placed it. 5. We would like our logo to appear on a white background, however we want the page to mostly have the dark blue background. Feel free to vary the treatment of the header bar. 6. we are open to seeing the top navigation bar being incorporated into the header bar, however we are concerned it will look cluttered 7. For body text we think Arial is the way to go, but are open to other suggestions. For header and link text you will see we have used Calibri, but are open to alternatives. We are interested in seeing a professionals view of how to use different font colours, particularly the blues used in our logo. 8. We want a clean, professional, trustworthy, established, corporate feel for the design. COMMENTS ON REFERRED WEBSITES url 1: we like the modern corporate feel of this site and the use of the deep greys url 2: we really like the use of texture in the backgrounds of this page url 3: while we do not want a white background site, we do like the clean design of this site and we like the dark blue they have used

    draft 8, 9, 10 - I like what you've done with the header, and the footer of the page. Please change any Serif fonts on the page to Sans Serif - something other than Arial (which is only used for 'body' text). Please look at moving the Nav bar down so it doesn't overlap the header bar. Please look at adding texture to the background of the body of the page and doing something more interesting with the boxes. Would prefer square-cornered boxes to rounded-corner boxes. please change the social media icons back to traditional square icons as specified in the draft. Please remove the language selection at the top, and consolidate "Contact Us", "Register Your Interest" and "call us now..." into just one link "Contact Us". thanks

    draft #7 - I like the textured background. i don't like the font used for the box headers, please try something else. Also I like the subtle box around the headers, but please remove the little 'quote' effect with the piece that drops down. Attach the Nav bar to the header bar.

    COMMENT TO ALL: Thank you for your submissions. A general direction to all of you... Please focus on refining how the page is spaced, the use and balance of colour, the selection of fonts, and adding more 'texture' and 'depth' to the page with subtle design elements that make it feel more higher quality, more luxurious, more substance.

    draft #5 - don't use a serif font anywhere in the page design. Please use a sans serif font other than Arial. Also please have an attempt at doing something more interesting with the boxes on the page, to create more visual depth & detail.
