In my opinion its never a good idea to use red as a dominant color in web design, as it evokes angriness, creates tension and excitement... Consider how red is used in language: redneck, red-hot, paint the town red, seeing red etc...
How can I make the banner have rounded corners? I need a photoshop expert.... I think I should start a new threat about it....
Just open the banner in photoshop and paint the corners black to make them appear rounded. Quite simple really. Anhalo
Oh thanks. Its actually very simple, where do I have my mind I didn't do that with the footer because I didn't actually create the site, I bought it.
The red one is definitely better unless you can change the background color of the header to black. Then it might fit better but the way you showed it red is the better option.
I would also prefer black. It looks more presentable. The tabs which are for navigation should be like the ones which are in the sidebar i.e. some what rounded.
I would go for black if you can change your title backround to black, if not I would go for red. Seems like I am in the minority
