Dear members, I am very pleased to announce you all that I have finished a new design for phpLD, which I attached here with. I show you the design to review and looking for your valuable comment and suggestions. You are most welcome to reply your posts here or PM me directly. Best wishes.
For me it seems very simple design, probably you need to make edges round, and try changing body area with some innovative idea.
For first design it looks very nice. Still, some improvements can be made. Personally I would recommend few things: 1. Most important-make header more interesting.It is completely empty.Header is the most important part of good looking design and composition. 2. Edit the titles Popular category, Browse directory etc. You can lower the fonts or make them regular instead of bold. They already stand out enough because they are outlined and have different background color. I would also change colors or titles background and border. 3. Remove that huge vertical gradient and choose solid color on content background. You will have problems to make that vertical gradient look good ones template is coded(think about short pages). 4. Flower in footer is nice, but also not in perfect and it will cause problems in coding. Hope this helps, Marko
Thanks to you all for your valuable suggestions. I'm updating the design keeping your tips in my head.
The thumbnail is a bit small, but from what I see, that's pretty good for your first ever design, you've incorporated the graphic on the lower left into your layout pretty nicely.
from what i can see it looks great but its kind of hard reviewing it its too small you should make it bigger than maybe we can give you better reviews.
I have put a live link in post #3 to view the image larger. u can see the design here: http://www.linkholm.com/images/layout.gif By the way, very much thanks for ur nice comments.
jus put the larger image here for clear view. design looks good, color combination is fine , its a template so i cant suggest on logo or either, but may be u can release more colors with the same design set.
Thanks for your nice comment. After this template, hope I'll work for more designs with different colours and themes.
