Child Humor
Childhumor.com is a content website about all the funny and silly things kids (and sometime parents) do. We love kids and all the funny things they say and do.
The site will be a blog style site where parents can share pictures, stories and videos about the funny things their kids do and say.
Our primary audience is stay-at-home moms with kids between the ages of 0-11. These moms love to read new gossip about celebraties on People.com, find a new recipe or craft idea on MarthStewart.com and check out the new happenings on Oprah.com.
They also have a recent addiction to Daily Deal websites relating to moms and kids. These websites include http://mamabargains.com/ and http://babysteals.com/.
Please review ALL attachments before starting design. We would prefer you use the content attached in CONTENT_TO_USE.doc document in your designs.

Attached is the child_humor_mock_up.pdf. This was a design we had done that we are not completely happy with.
Don't Like:
-Not sure about the color scheme. You make want to chose different colors based on the childhumor_logo_colorSchemes (1).pdf.
-Not sure about the ad space on the left. May want the content to be flush with the left side on the content area.
-The "Connect" box in the top right is taking up too much real estate on the page
-The navigation bar is too thick
-Not sure we like the font used, and don't like the lowercase in the navigation
-We want the "Contests" to be highlighted more in the navigation
WE DO LIKE:
-The back ground is clever using part of our logo
-All the buttons (facebook, twitter, child humor blog, up and down buttons) are designed well
-Placement of the Upload Button
-The bottom site link area of the page
