Great design! I agree with Zimm that your bio should be next to the home page. When a site is not corporate, but has a personal feel as yours does, I feel I'd like to know the person's motivations and background. I think the "personality" of a site can be as important as the actual content sometimes and with a design like this it certainly has personality! Great design, very scalable and useable and a fun look too! Good luck with it.

Thanks for all the kind words! I'll be uploading a preview of the site (albeit no rollovers yet) soon, it's had a number of changes but is basically the same.

I really dig the color combination, very good choice. Overall, I think it rocks. No crits from me.

also, wouldn't it be more proper to have 'home' and 'me' next to each other??

i kind of like the nav without the gradient though......

Sergeantpepper In reply to zimm [2005-05-22 06:43:22 +0000 UTC]

I'm glad of that - I added the gradient in the last minute,a nd thought it detracted, but thought it might be a tad too simple without - glad you think so too.

I'm not sure about link order... I didn't want my 'bio' to be too prominent as it isn't all too important... but please do argue the case, I'm interested as to why, you're probably right.

zimm In reply to Sergeantpepper [2005-05-22 06:54:51 +0000 UTC]

well i think people want to know who you are, and what do you look like....it ads a more personal touch to the site.........so it should be listed as one of the first things

zimm [2005-05-22 06:02:38 +0000 UTC]

looks really good, and ya, i read the text also............hahahahaaha

i don't like the black stroke though.........and like i said in the other thread, maybe ad an inner bevel or innershadow to the 'john hughes; letters........to give the stroke some more dimension and depth

Sergeantpepper In reply to zimm [2005-05-22 06:31:44 +0000 UTC]

So you mean the white part of the header text having some grey shading? Very good point, I'll get on it. After trying without it, the black stroke seemed neccesary... I can try toning it down, and I will try alltogether without again, and see what people think.

zimm In reply to Sergeantpepper [2005-05-22 06:34:51 +0000 UTC]

yea inside the lettering, try emulating an 'inner shadow effect without actually using a layer style on it though.......

either tone down the stroke, or use a different colour other than black

I think making it a smaller stroke and making it a dark orange might work out. Thanks!

Do you think it looks better without the gradient in the nav bar? CLICK

Thanks!

Ah! Running eh? That's a whole new kettle of fish...!

I'm afrai I can't even give a ridiculously loose estimate... firstly I'll wait for a bit more feedback, to see what needs changing, and secondly work goes faster when you're forbidden cafeing.

Thanks for commenting!
