Hi friends, I need a hint with the top logo here I don't like the red site name and I'm sure it needs some work, would you please give me a hint for what to do? Thank you very much.
Trying something that has to do with paper and pen, since it is a tutorial site. Also try incorporating a room type drawing around the word room or the entire logo. For the color, you can mess around with that by trying different variations and possibly adding some visual effects such as drop shadows, glows, strokes, etc. Good luck with it!
In general I would say it's a pretty good design. You're right about the red though, it's just too harsh on the eyes and not quite intricate enough. Maybe if you were to use the same basic idea for the layout (because I honestly quite like it) but use softer colors. Something a little easier on the eyes so it's more inviting. I'm still not too sure how I feel about the list style bullet under the "Browser By Category" section, they seem a bit plain and I don't feel like they fit in at all. I know that your ads are important, but you should consider putting the "Browse By Category" above the ads. That way it give the impression that you're worried more about the content then the ads. Your forms on the "Submit" sub page would look really great if they had some more style to them and maybe a contact form on your "Contact" page? Little tweaks really, you've got yourself a really easy to navigate, simple tutorial site.
I would test it with some different colors and see if there is anyway you can connect the top and bottom sections. Maybe try to overlap a little.
The overall design is fine, but the logo seems some kind of blurry to me?? Try to find some other fonts for the logo.. Take a look at the Sans Serif section at www.dafont.com
Thank you all for your hints, really helpful. Please take another look here and tell me if it's better now.
