Request: post a one page layout that effectively sells the Dread-It credit card idea. You are free to create logos for Bust-Da-Bank Inc., the Dread-it credit card, and any icons you see fit. Your one page layout may be of the home page, or any of the sub pages that you'd like to demonstrate.

Background: Bust-Da-Bank Inc. is a lending company based out of wachachoobee Florida. They have been successfully lending money to over 12 customers for a period of no less than 2 months. They would seriously like to break into the market this holiday season, and need your help to promote their new Dread-It credit card. Low, low 59% intrest rates, a nominal (re-occurring quarterly) $59.95 cardholders fee, $159.95 over the limit fees (which are dirt cheap!), and unlimited balance transfers (with a $.59 charge for every dollar transferred). In addition to all these great deals, you must promote Bust-Da-Bank Inc. as a reputable lender, and try to hide the fact that we do in fact intend on selling your name, address, email address, phone number, and any identifying information to anyone with a pop tart, a waffle iron, and a questionable checkbook.

Site Purpose: uhm... we are marketing... all we do is provide you with the facts. YOU make it sell to the customers. Make them beg to apply for our card. Make them LOVE us. Make them trust us! Make us look like we wouldn't reposess their car to get back $50 in overdue fees. This website should make Bust-Da-Bank Inc. into a household name!!!


What we'd love to see: Exciting, explosive, vibrant site that conveys trust in our new credit card. A site that shows how much you could buy with our new Dread-It credit card! Tell 'em that everybody is instantly approved and that they will get a $5000 credit limit. (hide in fine print somewhere that we charge $59.95 for each application, and another $59.95 to approve the application. $59.95 charge for denial also applies. Oh, and $59.95 of the initial issue card. *$59.95 for each replacement, and we automatically send five replacements upon account activation.... but try to hide that as well!)



What we'd like to avoid: Anything that makes them not trust us. Anything boring that doesn't distract them from the high intrest rates, or numerous fees.


We look forward to your sample work!
