    Please review my new art and design forum - been up around 2 weeks now.

    Are the categories ok or should I add /change them ?

    I've tried to be different with the design -let me know if you think it works or not

    All constructive feedback is really welcome


    forum is art and design

    Thanks

    Lots of people looking but no reviews

    That's quite disappointing.....any reason why no reviews?

    I don't really like the dark theme but then again I don't like dark themes in general. It needs some colour to give it a more welcoming look.

    Thanks for feedback

    Hopefully a few more people will comment on whether they like the dark theme or not and then I can make a more balanced decision on whether to keep it or change it

    Please let me have your views....all welcome !

    the forum looks nice, but one suggestion.. with a darker background always use a lighter font like sky blue or white works better than dark blue. it makes it more user friendly.. the rest is fine though .. logo gives a horror movies touch :)

    best of luck

    Thanks for replies, the trouble is it's a bit of a split decision on the dark vs light colour.

    A few more views would be really appreciated

    By the way I have 6 more logos to try out (all designed by DP members in a contest I recently held)

    Thanks
