My first poker design

EricH · 02-12-2009, 08:10 PM

I've just designed my first poker themed message board. It has a "rail" around the "tables" and uses the suites as the on/off icons. Let me know what you think...

And, I made an alternate version where each board looks like it's own "table"...

Tables version

I liked the first version better...

The Alternate version would be very cluttered even for a Message Board. I would stick with the current version. I would Suggest a Bigger, Better Logo/Header Design. The Top Nav menu seems too small even when I shrunk the header.
Try adding incorporating more 'RED' in your design. Kind of seems dull in a way.

Thanks for the feedback. Where would be a good place to incorporate red? BTW, when there are new posts the "on" icon is red.

The Logo for Starters, Some images/icons. A mouseover for the links etc.

The logo: I was told in Domain Name Discussion that I should think about another name. Which, the domain name has no effect on the rest of the look, or the posts, but it will definitely effect the logo.

Images/Icons: Again, I'm not too sure where/what I would add. The board icons need to appear subtle when they're off since they're off. However, I hope that as it grows I will get some poker affiliate links to make $$, which they will add color into the header/footer areas.

Mouseover: I have red as a bg color on the menu mouseover, but good call on the rest of the links. The boards now have dark red as mouseover.
