    Nice thought. But , I think you could have done better with some more 3D effects..

    One thing I noticed when I looked at it was that the social media icons along the bottom row of the phone display seem to get cropped by the edge of the phone. So that didn't look too natural.

    Hope that helps.

    not bad... its a bit simple, the font needs a bit of a drop shadow i think, background could be a nice charcoal gradient i think

    I like the design. The phone image kind of looks like a Zune HD. Not sure if you want but it may be possible to make the social buttons click able so when they click on Twitter for example it would go to your Twitter.

    i like the design... just nitpicking here but if i had to pick something out i'd do something more/else with the "extmod." text... overall though i like the simplicity and layout

    There should be at least some type of introduction on your page. The "extmod." title should be in a <h1> tag, and if you're going to have multiple pages then the CSS file should be external (so it is cached) for smaller pages.

    The <div id="learn"> should be a ul tag since it is a list of links, and you should use display: block on the tagline and the buttons rather than using line-breaks.

    Overall the design is pretty good though - nice and simple and not too large in filesize.

    This looks neat and decent compared on your last one...

    Goodluck and have fun designing...

    Try to make some soft gradient/light effect on the background. Especially on the title/tagsline area.
    Play with the title/tagsline font -change and soft border effect. If you want to show kind of macstyle, or classic or retro, then you need to play with its.
    Cut the image softly (for the button and the phone). Try to play with them, add soft thin border that blend to the background.

    I think it's a bit too simple. I mean some people can put simple colors and images and the website pops, but this is just too simple. Maybe get a more exciting center image. But I like the buttons!

    No offense but that stuff looks so 2001. Google 2010 web trends for some cool ideas to make it more modern
