Title: [Visual] 3 designs, need feedback
Post by: :) on July 04, 2007, 08:18:50 PM: Just need to know which one looks better. (they are all similar just a difference in blue and green)
Also ideas on what to change, and what to fix would be WONDERFUL. I really like hearing what wrong so I can fix it.

The font is very gritty, and so is the main image.

when you open the image its smaller, go over the image and you should see a magnifying glass, click.

true, I need to get better with my photoshop. :P
I was trying to find a good glossy tutorial but I can't find anything. + as i said before she said she wants "nice colors" no corporate look, which I find odd.

Quote
friendly and not so dull and corporate

so I thought bright colors would do the trick.

If you know any tutorial that can teach good photoshop skills or just web designing (the actual DESIGNING) part, it would be great if you can link me ^^

Post by: :) on July 06, 2007, 01:10:24 AM: Well I don't know if its any better, but its from a tut so...

yeah the backround color and other colors are shitty choices..I such at selecting colors. But is this any better then the others..or no?
Title: Re: 3 designs, need feedback
Post by: SirJackRex on July 07, 2007, 01:34:55 AM: Nice, a lot better than the other choices.
Title: Re: 3 designs, need feedback
Post by: mangadude5760 on July 09, 2007, 11:19:16 PM: Yeah it's better.

how old is nouman that might be true :).

i like the logoish thing but im not sure the rest will work :S
Title: Re: 3 designs, need feedback
Post by: :) on July 10, 2007, 03:04:48 PM: ya, I actually noticed what roph said 100% after he had said it :)
i'm trying to see if I can improve in design making before I show another one, but I need her to get off the fun colors crap.
Title: Re: 3 designs, need feedback
Post by: Roph on July 10, 2007, 05:10:16 PM: Ooh, that new one is much better. The whole diagonal lines / reflecting downwards thing is such a cliche "web2.0" thing nowadays though.
Title: Re: 3 designs, need feedback
Post by: biohazard on July 10, 2007, 11:53:02 PM: Have the reflection right side up, and the original letters all backwards, that would be original.

and yes, I am thinking about making the navigation smaller xD

oh and don't worry about the link or the content, its just the layout and its a free annoying host I use to put shit on.

Post by: Roph on July 19, 2007, 04:00:53 AM: Javascript rollovers D:

You're still using a program aren't you? Check this (http://slyph.org/files/templates/aria/03/) and look at the source to see how to do CSS rollovers. You shouldn't really use javascript for something unless there's no other way.
Title: Re: 3 designs, need feedback
Post by: :) on July 19, 2007, 04:38:56 AM: you are referring to the roll overs in the header right? ya, that was the one click option in dream weaver xD I was stumped on how to do it any other way :P
thanks for the tip, I will check it out in the morning.
Title: Re: 3 designs, need feedback
Post by: :) on July 19, 2007, 03:38:13 PM: Ok, I've go to know which looks better so, bigger menu, or smaller menu?

Title: Re: 3 designs, need feedback
Post by: SirJackRex on July 19, 2007, 08:23:48 PM: I think you posted the same imae twice...
Also, try getting the font smoother.
Title: Re: 3 designs, need feedback
Post by: :) on July 19, 2007, 08:27:34 PM: xD take a closer look. if you still don't see it look at the font sizes and the image on the bottom, notice?

also where is the font grainy?
Title: Re: 3 designs, need feedback
Post by: SirJackRex on July 19, 2007, 11:13:41 PM: I see, the smaller font is better.

The font it pretty bad, no blending in there.
Title: Re: 3 designs, need feedback
Post by: Zeldrak on July 19, 2007, 11:40:07 PM: last one is very good. you're doin' great.
Title: Re: 3 designs, need feedback
Post by: Rukishou on July 20, 2007, 06:31:07 AM: You're a bit of a newbie designer, right? At least when it comes to webs, that is? However, great work! The link buttons are a little dull and boring, but that's easy to fix. However, if you just use som php or some other programming code, you can have a function where the page visitior can decide wich layout to use on his own. Well, you have to be using css for that to work, and for the settings to stay set for each individual person you will have to create a cookie on that person's computor. It's pretty easy, and if you're using css (in an external file, please) I could help you fix that function.
However, if so, don't use the second one as it's pretty ugly when the blue hits the green in that way - there should be something more between to make it look better... Anyway, the first and the third (and if you create one or two more like a red and/or a yellow) would be great with suh a function as they look just the same, with only the differ of colouring.
