Please critique my design

derekbeau · 07-20-2004, 03:50 PM

Ok, ive been really stuck lately being creative. i CAN do things in photoshop, but i cant think of them

Anyways, here is what I have so far, its pretty basic, and the logo is desampled because its all saved at one compression.

Please give me some critiques and advice/ideas of what i could do to make this better, including color changes, interface changes, ANYTHING. I currently do not like it and am looking for help with making it pleasing.

I really like your FOTO logo. Can you make that bigger/more prominent and put another image inside the "lens"? Maybe make the main logo a brighter color to stand out more from the colors in the background (like the smaller ones).

Very clean site.

If you could, check out my new site. I would also like some feedback... Thanks

He didn't make the logo. He bought it. We proved it on Web Design Forums.

Lars, your site doesn't load up for me

Is it foto fight? Hard to read. I think it could be better. Try something more simple. Logos need to be clear and concise.

TWM · 07-24-2004, 10:36 AM

what does it matter if he didnt make the logo?? Why do you have to bring that up? your trying to make something out of this like the other forums did and its not neccesary. He is wnting you to critique the design, he never said he made it

As for the design:

I really like it. I think is has a good photo website feel to it, and it looks good. Its dark, but not DARK, so thats great. I like it alot!

thanks for the comments idevisedesign

NP man,
I was going to say something else, but i didnt

I just dont like it when people bring things into the forum that are not neccesary. That is considered spam because you didnt ask for him to say you didnt make the logo. You enevr said you did. You asked him to critique the site, which he didnt, so he shouldnt be posting in this forum

If I were you, I would and some sort of cool photoshop texture to the banner. Or else use an interesting stock photo. Instead on the plain white lines as borders, use photoshop styles to make them metallic and beveled or something. The same for the nav bar. Maybe add a muted background to the nav bar on the left, something that matches the banner.

I miss the connections, it seems like al "parts/frames" are placed or alined wrong. It looks like they do not belong together.
