bronya I don't like the login box and the ads in the top, that goes in a right lateral column. There is no header, there is no footer, and you pasted the forum tables just like they are in the site now, you only changed the background of the first row. Design4u No end date was announced but i haven't seen any design with more than 10 minutes of work, except from the DaveyBoy layout. If things continue like this i'll close the contest in about a week. Thanks for asking. Gaston
Here is what I've started, I'd like to know if I'm headed in the right direction. Thanks Also I've scaled it down for preview, original is 1024x900
Saves Th3 Day That looks good, you are in the right direction!. I'm not sure about the logo it would be great if you could try with a few simpler variants. Same for the symbol. For the logo use only two colors, the blue and an orange that should also be used somewhere else in the layout. No all-caps text please. The layout is very good, i'm not sure about that blue gradient because it's used everywhere, a more original color would be great. Could be a lighter blue or light browns. Check out www.colourlovers.com there are some nice palettes there. The plain white background could be improved. I like it!. zinruss That logo looks nice, it's very original and easy to brand. The problem is that it looks very technical, you get what i mean?. I get the feeling of a design studio or something like that when i see it. The font is not very easy to read. I like the simplicity of the symbol but it's not an easy to remember shape and it has nothing to do with the site. Logo is too wide, i wont be able to resize that to 200x100 px. To everyone I'd like to see symbols using the W and H inside a circle and, good, easy to read fonts. If you are going to try this concept please use only black in a white background, we'll then define colors. Thanks
gastongr: Just my opinion but I really like your site layout as it is I would consider paying for a logo to fit in with that design. Though I truly realise how boring your own sites can get when you look at them yourself everyday
Thanks for the comments xd2. I also like the layout, and i worked hard on that. But i'm trying to find something that will be better. If nothing comes i'll keep that one with a new logo . That's true! i_luv_pitza The font is too bold. I'm looking for simpler symbols. Colors don't match the site.
Ok, I'm gonna do a site design now including a logo. The whole lot. Here goes my first attempt at 'possibly' wasting my time, like I said I wouldn't. haha. Oh well, it's only because I have a good idea. Be back shortly.
saved at 70% jpg compression reduced quality and watermark may cause distortion originally 1024x768 resized to 800x600 to fit here Logo & Layout in different PSDs Layout content is saved in different layers. Each component may still be edited separately. feedback appreciated! thanks
vanessa & retzseo Your layouts look good but thats old style. I mean it looks like an old website. I'm looking for fresh, light layouts with a web 2.0 style To everyone Contest finishes next monday.
Please Note : The Scanline Pattern running through my design is not part of the design, it is a substitute watermark while I design my Portfolio. Feedback appreciated, please request any changes you may have. Website comes in a named .PSD with Sets, so it can be that much more comfortable for when you code.
How about this? Web 2.0 layout all components can be edited (change color size font etc) and separated with layers (yes even the ad ) feedback appreciated
