Xchar

Xchar is a social community regarding the MMORPG World of Warcraft. For Desktop-Integration we are building a Rich Internet application, which you are invited to design ;)

The Application should look (and somehow feel) a lot like our website - but also should stand out to motivate for using it ;)

You can join the community and see the design of the website here: http://www.xchar.com (german community: http://www.xchar.de).

The width should be at 830px (as our website is), height could be at 450px.

Rough sketchup, how it could be structured.

Feel free to use any graphics from our website for this contest.

EDIT: Added Logo/some font download

EDIT2: Added basic webpage layout psd (including logo). You are hereby granted to use it for this contest, but permitted to do anything else with it ;)

EDIT3:
As an addition, the third column is reserved for this feature:
http://www.xchar.de/downloads/wow/faces/client
short description: Seeing reallife-pics ingame (your profilepicture above your wow-character ingame)

The name of this feature is Xchar Faces, which you could integratesomehow. Maybe some real "faces" in the header ;). The wholeapplication will be called Xchar Faces.
"Faces" could be an addition to the header, which makes it stand out from our website.

- RIA-Design, 830px * ???px
- should look like our website
- Header with logo and slogan
- account-box at the top right, like our website has
- Shoutbox-Frame (http://www.xchar.com/reallife.php)
- Status Box (Twitter-like) (http://www.xchar.com/myxchar.php)
- Adframe (leaderboard (728x90) or full banner (468x60))

- a design too far away from our website
