Please Review Art School minisite

treebytheriver · 06-14-2008, 10:43 PM

Link is in sig.

Its just a mini video blog for now, to be developed more later. I'm concerned that the colors are too bright, also I've had a hard time with getting a logo header to line up with the page, so I'm dealing with this pencil header for now. Also I would like a fresher font but am not sure what to go with.

All opinions are appreciated.

I'm assuming it's ArtSchool.tv?

If so, here is the deal lol. The site is very simple, maybe too simple XD. I would maybe get a different style or template, but that one isn't that bad anyway.

As for the header, I think it's too big and not attractive enough, try to figure something out lol

7/10

Thank you Alex, I'll work on the header, appreciate the advice!

I would try to make the title stand out a bit better. Maybe not purple on blue. You can go with brighter and more contrasting colours.

Maybe put a little more work into the menu on the left.

Looks good.

I'm not a fan of how the links and text are the same color. You'd probably be well off to distinguish links from text, especially if you're dealing with non-internet-savvy people.

If you do anything to the header, change the font. It looks like a bland Arial. For an art site, it isn't mindblowingly artsy.

I usually stick to programming, so I won't give you advice on colors.
However, you may want to do a little photoshopping with the header so it fades from the right and left into the purple background.

I think the header is a tad too big for the website, but other then that its a clean website. You could possibly make the links more distinct, as it just sort of blends in on the left side.

Who is your target audience, male/female? The purple is turning me off and so is the header. You can post on the forum for a good banner, would only cost you about $20. Every site I have created I get my logo/banners done on the forums and am always happy. More specifically pm this guy, zeniusivanisher.

I like that it is clean and simple, but like some of the guys already posted it may be too simple. Change the colors will make a huge difference and so will giving it a nice banner.

Just my opinion though
