peranha Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 Are the ads at the bottom supposed to be aligned to the left of the page?? [attachment deleted by admin] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karpatzio Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 i like the total feel of the site, but some graphics or perhaps more colors for the navboxes would improve the looks. the google ads seem a bit out of place but other than that good layout imo.

Fadion Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 The only thing i like in your site is the background. The overall design hasnt got a natural flow; that makes me kinda confused on where to click and what to look. Briefly: The layout is a set of nested tables Theres way to much air (space) between elements and those borders dont look quite good The overall look is very dark, while sky blue, dark blue, red and green arent close friends Shouldnt a site have any logo or cool looking names? Why on earth u had to remove the pointer (aka hand) cursor on Home | Forum | Faq ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vigilant Psyche Posted May 17, 2008 Author Share Posted May 17, 2008 So what sort of colours do you think the headings down the right should be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fadion Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 The color scheme is totally personal, so i cant give u suggestions on that. Eventhough, colors have to blend and create a pleasing contrast, so that personal preference extends to the general public. Just to give u some basic pointers on color theory, so u can understand better what i mean: - Adjacent colors on the color wheel are refered as harmonious and create a nice blended look - Opposite colors on the color wheel are refered as complementary and create that pleasing contrast - U can choose more then 2 colors which combine well, by creating a three equal sides triangle or square Those are the thumb rules of color theory. Taking that as granted, a sky blue is opposite to orange, but also blue with all the hue and saturation combinations, is opposite to yellow and yellow-orange combinations. Blue, cyan and green are adjecent colors which really combine well togather. Drawing a triangle in the color wheel, will show that green, blue and magenta (or probably a crimson red) are best suited togather. Drawing a rectangle will show blue, yellow (or yellow-orange), green and magenta are best suited togather. This simple theory can be used for every combination u want. Normaly u can adjust colors to best reflect what u have in mind, but sticking to the theory will definitely produce some cool colors and contrasts. Dont take this as a lesson, but as guidelines to enhance your creativity. Hope it helped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
