layout/design

[blouis]

I was wondering you if you all could take a look at this new layout. I did run tests with different browsers(IE, Safari, Mozilla, Opera, Netscape) And it seemed fine but just a few more looks would help out alot. Also let me know if you like how it looks, The only links that work right now are the hosting links.

Thanks

I'm running Mac IE 5.2 1024x768 and everything looks good.
Nice design. Is the eye supposted to be pixelated or not? It looks pixelated to me.

The site looks really nice, one thing about the graphic (the eye), I think it would look alot better if it were more clear, without the blurry box look, and if the eye color was all one color, the bright green and dark blue don't mix well together. I think the bright green would look good, and of course have the center of the eye black. But you really have a nice site, I just suggest fixing the graphic of the eye, and it will look even better.

Hey thanks for taking the time to look at the site. The eye should look pixelated I didnt apply that filter to it in photoshop. The Green and blue for the color of the eye, well its kind of an optical allusion, if you look close and see what the green is, its the "X" logo (the "X" thats behind the word Xeplin in the header image) I'll take those out and upload it and see how that works....I just uploaded it and it just looked to plain to me so I changed it back. Thanks alot for your help though, i'll re-post when we're done creating it. I think we pretty much have the layout constructed, now here comes the programmin (PHP and MySQL if you guys wanted to know)

the site we have up right now, i'm just wondering if you guys like it. It was a quick layout we needed for a class in school the main point was the backend I created for it. You can edit all the text on the site. It reads from .txt files on teh server and you can edit them in the admin config page. It was the first time i actually programmed something like that and was pretty proud. Let me know waht you think....

I am so blessed to have met a designer like you who designs such great layouts that are so aesthetically pleasing! I must say that you made your sites very much with usability and functionality in mind!

Both sites were done equally well; They are simplistic and should be quick easy to manipulate but you should know that you've doen a perfect balance of usability on one hand and style on the other hand..

In short, you sites are very impressive and I love them

Hope to learn a lot from you!

Thank you gwx. Thats why I'm at this forum, to help other people learn so ask away.

hey guys i just bought bryanlouis.net and all I really have right now is an image for like an intro page type of deal where the user selects flash or HTML. What do you all think of the image? I have something for the HTML part, its just abunch of links, a simple layout not sure if i like it or not. I didnt do any flash yet but have some ideas for it.
