JasonLewis Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Hey all, Thought I'd post a link to my recently coded layout, which is all just static content at the moment and none of the links work. It's just to see what it looks like and how it runs in different browsers really. Would love some feedback on what you guys think of it. The link is: http://www.iamlewybabes.com I've tested it in FF3, IE6/7/8, Safari5 and Chrome5 with 1280x800 and 1024x768 resolutions and it looks okay. IE makes it a little crappy, but meh. Also found that on some CRT screens the colors (mainly darker ones) are hard to distinguish and it looks basically black. Critics welcome.

KevinM1 Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Not bad. Crits: There's a lot of wasted space at the top, between your navigation and introductory blurb. I'm not a fan of content appearing so low on a page. Some of the colors for the text (green tags, the orange links at the bottom of your blog entry, the gray copyright) make it hard to read. Still, overall a thumbs up. Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/211603-i-am-lewy-babes/#findComment-1103075 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the colors for the text (green tags, the orange links at the bottom of your blog entry, the gray copyright) make it hard to read. Do you dislike the use of the colors in these spots or just the color in general, perhaps make them darker? I'll make the copyright darker though.

brown2005 Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 I think he means the colors are two bright. You can hardly read the orange unless close to the screen, and can not at all read the bottom copyright info.

I only ask because I can read them, must be my awesome eyes or screen. I'll make them a bit darker I think. Thanks for the crits so far guys.

brown2005 Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 as agreed above definately to cut down on the unused space in the header. also i think the tags bit on the right could do with a bit of padding so the writing is not so close to the borders, but thats just how i like it.

JasonLewis Posted August 24, 2010 Author Share Posted August 24, 2010 Okay I've shifted the header up a bit, and darkened a lot of the colors so they can be read a bit easier. Does it look better now? Anyone else have anything they'd like to add?

brown2005 Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Hi, Yeah looks better to me. Some people might think you still have a bit to much space up the top. With the copyright part, I think it you need to separate it from the content, maybe enclose it in a bar so you can see its not part of the main content.

The size (for me on 1280x800) would show most of the first blog, which is good. But I'll see. Yeah I have a different copyright on my local, haven't uploaded the latest yet. Thanks. Cheers for the crit man. Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/211603-i-am-lewy-babes/#findComment-1103481 Share on other sites More sharing options...
fortnox007 Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Not wasted space at all Lewy (ok maybe decrease height with 20px-25px)! great use of color the red I though could look nice maybe Bold or larger? the text below would be nice if it were aligned full. great job though! nice 2010 design Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/211603-i-am-lewy-babes/#findComment-1105157 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which red needs to be bold or larger? The article title red? And the text alignment, you're talking about the article text right? You talking about justifying it? I tried that and it didn't look that flash hot, you can test it by changing the P tag with Firebug. Thanks for the crit, appreciate it.

fortnox007 Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Well it should not be overdone but I am talking about the "I" in the title, maybe just write it in upper case, right now the dot on top is a bit small/pixel like. I have marked the parts green which I was referring too. Anyways nice design, realy like it. http://i34.tinypic.com/2r20nx3.jpg Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/211603-i-am-lewy-babes/#findComment-1105239 Share on other sites More sharing options...
xjake88x Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 I think it looks good but but anti aliasing on the introductory block font doesn't look right. It seems a bit too skinny for the anti aliasing it's using. Maybe try using a few different fonts and compare?
