A Green Site [UPDATE 01]

Challenge · 04-18-2006, 11:44 AM

So, just finished a design project for a company, so i have time to do something for myself:

I've been trying with some colors, i don't usually use many of them, but i think i did okay.

What do you think? Any C&C are welcome, and i will (hopefully better than past times) consider it as good as i can!

Nice design. Gonna be a major B**** to code though IMO. Try to use as little graphics as possible, because this layout is going to be a monster to load on a 56K.

Look & Feel:
I've never seen a color scheme like this before, if it can even be called a color scheme. I'm not sure what you are trying to do with the background, but it doesn't match. However, it gives the site some neccessary professional appeal. I'm not sure how the colors would do with a teenaged audience (MP3 downloaders), it's going to be interesting to see how they like it.

Good luck with your client.

Very nice, very good effects you have used, the shadows and the 'Transform > Skew' on the "MP3" title. Stars look good too.

However, you may have trouble slicing it, especially if you dont want it fixed width. If you're going to have it fixed width, on my resolution (1280x1028) its pretty small.

The search by keyword, with the magnifying glass, doesn't work tbh. It looks out of place.

Hey all.
Thanks for your comments!

I've changed the size of the site, its now a bit bigger.
The "funky" content boxes are changed, and replaced.
The shadows behind the titles are removed.
Removed the magnifying glass.
Still need to change the top.

Still need to consider the bg

What do you think?

I like it a lot but I don't think that dark grey works well with the green, red, and brown. Maybe try changing that color. Besides that it is awesome.

Keep Up The Good Work,

TheComputerGeek247,
I was wondering what you were thinking about... I'm guessing it's the buttons, but i'm not sure. Can you specify?

Thanks for your roses!

This is looking very nice. Good design, good colours, can't wait to see it coded. Best of luck with it.
