I need a great web 2.0 designer.....

I need a great designer and I'm willing to pay up to $2000 for about 5 layouts (no programming needed) and a style guide.

This is for the re-design of a classifeds site.
Based on our development site, which is already functional, you will provide about 5-7 custom designs and a style guide.
We will then implement the designs using CSS.

Tasks to be accomplished
1) Design homepage and sub pages of the site (5-7).
2) Design should have a web 2.0 look and feel (i.e., Simple layout, 3D effects used sparingly, Soft neutral background colors, Strong color used sparingly, Cute icons, used sparingly, Plenty of white space, Nice big text, CSS)

Here is a website that gives a great summary for creating good looking websites (http://www.webdesignfromscratch.com/current-style.cfm)
Note: a great web designer should be very familiar, and have created similar sites like those displayed in the above link

Looking for a high level layout/graphical designer with knowledge of Web 2.0 style websites (see link above). Designer must have large portfolio with with various sites they designed themelves. No outsources or minor graphical work. This job requests a true designer.

Designer must have:
1. Must be highly creative.
2. Knowledge of Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, CSS, AJAX
3. Knowledge of PHP (not required but a plus)
4. Knowledge of some SQL(not required but a plus)
5. Usability consideration is a huge plus

They must be available via IM or phone.
You design good work, you get paid.

It's a classifieds site. So, aside from the homepage, a lot of the other pages will be very similar. Probably a maximum of 3 pages. I just need a quality designer. The price is very flexible.

Unfortunatly all the best web 2.0 designers dont go looking for work, so you have to find them. go to www.cssbeauty.com and look at all the people who made those sites (alot are designers anyway) and they should be able to meet your budget.

Few points

1)The teal blue is money on that site.
2) you shouldnt critisize designs when you have a "default design" on a myspace page when 12 year olds can make theirs look decent
3) lets see some of your designs
4) Car Casher? (awesome name farva)
5) you actually like the way that site looks?
6) what out of the box program did you use for that? - i only assume you didnt code shit because well you got an awesome myspace page...
7) Your giving away a TV because you want to find someone to Search Engine Optimization your site? lol I suppose you cant do that either?

Do yourself a favor keep your negitive comments to yourself tool. I've been in the I.T. industry long before you downloaded your little car store script. I write stuff like that FOR REAL CAR COMPANIES (toyota currently). I know languages from PHP to .net 2.0/1.1. As for that site there is about 1/3 of the designs on that site, some on there are from the very start of my designing career 7 ye
